    Cle, almost everything you've posted in this thread has not held up to history. Not trying to hassle you, just educate on why there is so much speculation and why this thread is so large. I'm not saying I know exactly what will happen at Blizzcon this year and The Dark Below may very well not me the xpac, but leaks HAVE happened. BC is the ONLY xpac we didn't previously know about (we knew 3 out of 4 beforehand so far, good track record). Just because it makes sense that a large company might not want leaks does not mean they haven't happened. Since they have in the past, it stands to reason it is possible in the present and future. Yes, they may have corrected certain information security issues, but we don't know that for a fact just as we don't for a fact that the leaks are fake.

    I'll give you Archimonde. Prince in Karazhan to this day makes no sense, but I suppose he has to count.

    The content never leaked... but the names ALWAYS have leaked at least 2 months in advance via trademarks. Wrath, Cata, Pandaria, now this...

    Even BC was trademarked early - but nobody really took too much as we didn't know what to expect from a WoW expansion.

    Actually, WOTLK was leaked the day prior to it's announcement.

    Nope - some of the content was... the name, however, was leaked way before that. I remember having weeks of debate over if it was real or not.

    It boggles my mind that no one has done a simple search for "trademark fraud" yet. There isn't one lawyer on this bored with the faintest desire to say, "you guys are all idiots"?

    As long as you don't actually file the application you aren't in breach of the law one would think...

    If they're going to reveal it at Blizzcon, they had BETTER have a locked-in trademark by then. :P
    We know from Hearthstone and Reaper of Souls that Blizzard has figured out how to hide the fact that their trademarks have been filed until they're ready to reveal them. Why wouldn't they do this with the WoW expansion?

    You misread him completely. He said Blizzard deny when things are accurately leaked. All this twitter stuff is what they actually do when something is fake :3

    it builds hype. Trademark gets "leaked" out, People speculate/hype it for weeks/months until the reveal.

    I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sick of Old Gods, and have been since about halfway through Cataclysm, Demons on the other hand, well, let's just say the Warlock Green Fire Chain raises some questions.

    No no no... I meant "When, exactly, has Blizzard outright denied anything that leaked - but was actually true in reality"?

    The most they do is throw out red herrings to try to make it seem like something it's not, like the extra Halloween masks - and now, this.

    Mists of Pandaria doesn't sound that interesting either. I remember when that title was leaked people were denying it as well. And rightly so, I wish this expansion never happened.

    I would tend to agree with mvallas. They said that MoP could be anything and that we are blowing it out of proportion, but they did not specifically say it was not the xpac and that it was fake. Blizzard has performed misdirection and even deception when it comes to information they wish to keep secret, but they rarely if ever blatantly deny or lie about it.
