Let That Be Your Last Clue

[Flatspriest]

This one is obvious. The windows in Ulduar. They all seem to represent the various surviving Old Gods. Notice that one is broken, perhaps referencing Y'Shaarj. http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/.../ulduar_66.jpg

C'thun color scheme: http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/.../ulduar_68.jpg
Yogg-Saron color scheme: http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/.../ulduar_70.jpg
N'Zoth color scheme?: http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/.../ulduar_67.jpg

But among these, one stands out as notably different.
http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/.../ulduar_69.jpg
Who is this young woman? She looks so much different from the others. Perhaps seemingly female Old God? Perhaps one with a soothing charm? I mean, Yogg'Saron is already portrayed, so it's probably not Sara.

I think we're being told that there is a fifth Old God still in the game. One less immediately monstrous in portrayal.

It's Jaina Proudmore of course. She isn't a demon, she's an old god bent on destruction.

I notice this thread is more or less 100% congruent with this earlier "leak":

https://imgur.com/UBo9VFb

Which leaves three likely possibilities:

1) Both "leaks" are by the same person, pushing the same ideas.

2) This "leak" is by someone who saw the previous one and thought it was totally cool, but wanted his own attention rather than reposting it, and wanted to add detail to it.

3) It's actually real and they're very similar because they're both from people who have at least glimpsed the actual source.

The only point I see in favour of 3 is that in the imgur "leak" the language, which purports to be copied and pasted from a Blizzard source is quite close to the way they write and largely free of hideous typos, grammatical horrors, and so on.

Pretty skeptical though. Especially because the font of the imgur leak looks wrong for Blizzard and the model of Magni is just current Magni holding current Khazgoroth, and it seems unlikely Blizzard wouldn't make Magni into like, powered-up Magni with powered-up Khazgoroth.

[Seasz]

• The third death is coming.
• Her heart is a crater, and we have filled it. Yes, yes, yes!

The Wound!!!

[Ickabob]

This is all really intriguing and has me more than a little hyped. I want to believe!

The font is accurate for Blizzard, and it's not a real leak. The creator revealed that it was a prank.
If anything, Veil of Shadows just had a few lucky guesses that will come to fruition.

The option #2) was closest.
The creator here was a fan of VoS and copied it, or the VoS concept was quite accurate.

[Onikaroshi]

Wow, sorry. Someone linked it in another forum, I came to see it, and didn't pay attention to the date of the thread!

Wouldn't really call it a necro

A. The last post was less then a month ago

and

B. MMO-C's own rules refer to necroing as this: "Thread-necro: Reviving an old thread for no reason other than bumping it to the first page," which that was obviously not your intent on replying to this thread.

The leak may be nothing but it brings up some interesting points in... recently datamined info.

It's Knaifu.

thos 2 leaks are very different... the only common thing is the theme of old gods

[Dragon ANX]

Name of the new expansion: you can try, but never guess

Summary:
• My children are rushing from the depths.

Zones:
• They say, it was a city under the city. But the deeper lies the more evil place.
• Under the frozen ground, only death awaits you. Our brethren are also ready to meet you.

I was thinking, could this part be about the Nerubians?

[huth]

The font is accurate for Blizzard, and it's not a real leak. The creator revealed that it was a prank.

We even got the same pic with the various planes rotated around just to show how it was done.


Frankly, at this point we had so many "leaks" that somebody is going to hit close purely by accident.

The lack of 7.3.5 PTR(the one up now is 7.3.2) makes me wonder if the next small content patch will contain spoilers they don't want released yet.

Or the wait blizzcon to unveil the 7.3.5, after the expack reveal xD

[Syegfryed]

prob n'zoth with his children

but indeed could be azjol nerub and the nerubians finaly coming up

[Feali]

Why would you necro this thread? Seriously...

It's not that much of a necro and it's one of the more believable leaks.

[xskarma]

I was thinking, could this part be about the Nerubians?

That is a really intruiging thought. I hadn't thought about that.

[Blayze]

I think the name we'll never guess is Path of the Titans.

[xskarma]

Also, on the subject of necros: It's fine if a thread is still relevant at the time of ressurection, and this thread with speculation about 8.0 is obviously still relevant, especially with the recent Wound discovery.

[Dragon ANX]

I think the name we'll never guess is Path of the Titans.

Could be, but i think it a "meh" name btw.

[Blayze]

Could be, but i think it a "meh" name btw.

I don't think it is; we've been walking the path of the Titans ever since we found out about the Old Gods. I think the name fits, especially since the power left behind by the Wound is likely going to be the power that replaces our artefact--rather than a specific weapon, that power will infuse ALL our weapons.

Either that or we get specific weapons forged with that power.

[Konteil]

name of the new expansion: you can try, but never guess

summary:
• you will not have time to catch your breath. The black army has long been here, and you didn’t see it, lurking behind the burning shadow.

Possibly return of the black empire?

• the circle closed and the stars went out.

We shut the titans away as well as the guys like algalon when we sealed the pantheon?

• thank the lord of ravens for his gifts.

Almost has to be something to do with karazan

• once he already lied.

Wrathion perhaps

• the king of diamonds blindly believes her words.

Reference to magni. I think hes being fooled and he isnt speaking to argus. There are more things beneath the earth. Older things. And it its a nacent titan it isnt awake yet.

• the third death is coming.
Third sundering?

• this is for my son!

Sons of lothar maybe?

• her heart is a crater, and we have filled it. Yes, yes, yes!

The wound in silithus being filled with old god nasties.

• do you think it's horrifying? This is just the beginning of your nightmares.

Deeper levels of madness in teh old gods creatures. .c'thraxxi? Perhaps the city of ny'alotha?

• thank the lord of the ravens for these five gifts.

Khadgar gave up the pillars of creation on the broken shore. Someone or something has come for them while we were on argus
.
• we create new covenant, the better than horde or alliance.

The black empire returning would predate both factions.

• her wrath is comparable to his, and they have common goals now. Only he does not know about it yet.

Azshara and her naga perhaps. If not perhaps jaina and shes tainted by old god madness. Or will be.

• they need a new twilight father. You know him pretty well, sir.

One of the old gods or its minions. Someting we didnt kill all teh way. Or perha[ps the void has taken the soul of vol jin. Wasnt the loa talking to him after all.

• my children are rushing from the depths.

Naga or c'thraxxi. Could even be teh resurgent klaxxi

• it was a mistake to entrust this thing to a pirate scum.

South sea.
• i gave it to you for a great feat, but now i return it as my lady ordered.

Ashara?
• stained-glass windows don’t lie. Never.

Saw something about the stained glass windows in ulduar. Tehre is a 5th old god whos widow is blown out. We know one was killed and another was consumed by its bretheren. But can it come back from that?

• our strength is in the blood. And let us not leave their blessing in these dark days.

There are several old god creatures that work this way.

• the prophet would not have lied, right? Yes, no, i'm talking about another.

Tharonja?

• what about a really big bad voodoo?

Almost has to be the trolls. Bad voodoo could be any of them.

• his sacrifice was in vain. Alone, in the middle of a cold emptiness.

Bolvar is losing touch with something. Nerubians? Or the scourge?

• i chose the abyss. Will you follow me this time?

N'zoth was imprisoned under water.

• our revenge on their kind is not over. There are still two out of five.

2 old gods left either n'zoth and another we havent seen or n'zoth and c'thun as we didnt know at that time how to kill him all the way. Or we werent powerful enough. Perhaps needed to find weapons left over from the black empire. Titan constuct weapons or dragonflight weapons.

• mortals have the right to know the fate of one who was forged by fire.

This one is throwing me off. Deathwing perhaps? What happened to make him go mad?

• someday i'll fall. Or already fell.

No idea

• my true strength is not in the army or the sword, but in the crown.

Something about the crown from argus? Can we use it somehow?

• all hands on deck! Hell... It's about time.

Im thinking since we got personal airship mounts they are a preamble that they used to test the tech on a small scale before letting us see the huge ones we have to build next.

• now you travel the sea, then to ascend to the sky.

See above.

• the realm of shadows is full of cries of pain. Your cry will join this choir.

Im hoping this is the city of ny'alotha. (huge lovecraft fan)

• the serpent saw her. He's on his way.

Has to be another reference to azshara as a naga.

• what can be purer and sweeter than the soul?

No clue here

new playable race:

• it's an honor to receive the gift of wyrm skin from you.

We know we can have a change from human to dragon after it was used for teracgosa staff that allowed you to become a mount. Im thinking one of teh dragonflights will be joining us. Only way that makes sense.

alliance:

• draenei: Stay with us, who forged by light.
• dwarves: True iron is hidden in the darkness.
• night elves: High bloodline - high responsibility.
• others: It's only the beginning!
• not all of us despise our children, and someday we will stand with them shoulder to shoulder.
Subraces available as skins in toon creation screen


horde:
• orcs: Purity is the hope for redemption.
• undead: Not only the humans became forsaken.
• taurens: The winds of winter call us.
• others: It's only the beginning!
• you are not the horde without us.
Same as above.


zones:
• where did she go? Something is wrong.

Jaina and her island home.

• our wisdom in these depths

underwater area

• praise the god of the depths!

Nyalotha i hope

• where did the bananas go?

Tel abim
• is it possible to lose what has already been lost?

Tol vir is referred to as the lost city tho there was another sunken one i think

• let the loa tell us the way.

Troll islands

• they say, it was a city under the city. But the deeper lies the more evil place.

Nerubian empire in northrend perhaps?

• where does the ruined way lead?

Path of the titans dead ends in teh water in dragonblight. Where did it go when it wasnt broken?

• under the frozen ground, only death awaits you. Our brethren are also ready to meet you.

Another reference to the nerubians under dragonblight?? Or someting else in stormpeaks or ulduar.

• ny’alota is a fairy tale for fools.

No ny;alotha would meke me sad.

• you were so close to touching the great. And you need to swim a little more.

New continent we havent seen? Dragonlands perhaps?


afterword:

• you'll never guess whether it's true or not, until you see for yourself.

We shall see

• don’t expect news in the near weeks.

nothing released till blizzcon. Points to an inside leak from a dev?


These are all my best guesses. Feel free to pick em apart.
