Well, according to this layout Dragon Isles are just above NPL so that may very well work.

I tried to do some more digging since my post a page or two back, and yeah, there is absolutely no trace of this AMA/Q&A/interview/whatever it's supposed to be ANYWHERE that isn't a link to those images on imgur or 4chan. No thing itself, no other references to it, nothing linking to any sort of deleted content.
Which basically leaves two options:
1)Everything surrounding this interview was somehow utterly deleted and removed from the internet X-Files style, yet somehow these images have remained untouched. Trust no one!
2)It never happened, and it's fake.
Unless Blizzard hired the Smoking Man, I know which of those options I believe ;p

While it might not be "easy" as in obvious, the timestamps to me are a dead giveaway, both due to the horrible formatting I mentioned in my previous post, and the fact that this whole thing happened over the course of 6+ hours, was in English, and NEVER during that time showed up on the official forums or a fansite.
so Warlords of Draenor is /'woɹː.loɹːdz ʌv 'ɖɹæːn.oɹː/.I've always loved how in an attempt to make pronunciation through text easier to understand people have created a seemingly alien cypher for which few people without a degree related to language would ever been able to understand.
As someone who has been wanting naga for years i have to say that even though we wouldn't get naga the whole race overhaul and such sounds awesome. If this is true i wouldn't be disapointed
Noting the "Dynamic Lighting" mentioned:
This was a first I've seen of this quality in terms of that. introduced during Nighthold.
Gotta start somewhere. These are actually projected textures, but it's definitely a step towards Dynamic Lighting.
Technically speaking, "Dynamic Lighting" as such started fairly earlyish in WoD (6.0.2 or 6.0.5 or something like that, was definitely still during Highmaul, because I remember the drastic change in the Butcher's room, the comparison images are probably still archived on this site somewhere, although I have to head to work soon, so don't have time to dig). It was also added to several "Torch" vanilla weapons that always had thrown off some of their own light (Staff of Hale Magefire for example) at this time.
It was obviously in its infancy then, and hasn't really been improved upon in any significant fashion, but it's definitely not a "new feature", and adds yet another nitpicky nail in the coffin of this fake leak.

If I had to vote for the more believable leak, it would be this one. In terms of what the leak entails i mean. It's also the only leak that actually got me excited thus far.
The thing that raises my suspicions the most is the name honestly. "Shadowfall" doesn't sound like an expansion to me. We'll see.
It actually does, a new race / class carries AT LEAST 25% of an expansion, it's a huge fucking feature, sub races aren't going to cover the need of a new class or race. We've not had a new race since MoP which is starting to take a toll, we need something more exciting at this point.
Yea it does seem kinda wishy washy. That's why I dug this picture up. I was just talking to someone about how we've had the Dynamic Shadows since Wrath, and a lot of people might already consider THAT dynamic lighting.
The new lighting affects in WoD don't cast shadows though, so perhaps that's what's implied. As well as environmental hue changes depending on the time of day being more increased.
As well as this: The new lighting in WoD makes this part of Deepholm look nuts. I really quite like the effects here, and I'd like to see Daylight look more like this when the sun hits you. This is actually like.. Probably not intentional? It wasn't like this UNTIL WoD, so it's kind of a glitch
Again, perhaps this is the implication: That the Sun starts emmiting the WoD-like Dynamic Lighting, WITH Dynamic Shadows.
Edit: After all.. It's called... Shadowfall

You know what? Sure, I'll buy this one. Call it a hunch.

Yeah, I definitely think the Dynamic lighting could be expanded on, and probably will at some point, but yeah, I'm still fairly certain that this is fake (if for no other reason than that it literally doesn't exist anywhere on the internet, not even so much as a dead link pointing to it)

From over on SoL. Omacron has pretty close ties with Micky.

This. My dad always said if something's too good to be true, odds are good it is.
Although I do like what I'm seeing, if true. Cross-faction chat enabled on RP realms is going to be awesome for my friends and I. Racial campaigns and catching us up to speed on what's been going on in Kalimdor/Eastern Kingdoms, and advancing those stories, is something I really feel every expansion should make some time for, to keep things tied into the world rather than everything be sequestered off into its own little corner.
Be seeing you guys on Bloodsail Buccaneers NA!
3 new battlegrounds? Sure if you like PvP it sounds great.
New race customization is actually great for everyone.
Cross faction language barrier only for RP servers is gone, not that it matters anyways as this is insignificant feature to begin with.
Dynamic lighting sounds interesting, but shouldn't be considered a selling point feature of an expansion
Revamp sounds good if done properly.
Race campaigns sounds awesome as well.
Burning Crusade race intros should be considered QoL change and not an expansion selling point, AGAIN. It should've been done way back in Cataclysm.
It's not that great, mate. Average sounds better.
Add another race in the mix or perhaps class (but since we got DH it should be a race) and I can considered it above average to good.
I haven't PvPed hardcore since Cataclysm due to how broken Monks were in MoP in Arena it made me quit and the fact that we haven't gotten new BG's for over 5 years is quite pathetic. It's about time for some new Battlegrounds like seriously, to be quite frank they need to really come up with new gameplay mode for PvP not just a battlegrounds imo
If the expanded race customization included subraces, with each race campaign introducing them and stuff, that would be more than a new race.
A new race is a cosmetic with a starting zone. You'd get that times 13.
The leak said no subraces though right? I really wish we'd get them.
