WOTLK : Confirmation #2

[Boubouille]

Yeah, another confirmation, I guess it was a good day to release the information.

Usk.de (same as ESRB/PEGI in Germany) have a page up with the ratings of upcoming games ... Oh, look at the list ! There is a name we already know !

Update : The "GC" part is probably related to the Games Convention in Leipzig, held from 23 to 26/08. (Thanks to Fisker, he's smart). Or maybe they're planning to release WoW on Gamecube *cough*, but personally I'd go for the Games Convention theory.

Update 2 : Huh ... The Gamecube thing was a joke ... A tauren wouldn't fit in such a small box anyway.

So it's definitely not Wrath of the ZombiePirateNinjaRobotMonkey Clan?

[gore]

god i love the way u write your news :P how long have u known about that little tid bit then?

[Boubouille]

Malineros : Look behind you ! A three headed monkey !
gore : Today, of course.

[gore]

yeh i know today but youve left us in the lime light about the name and how u knew

[Ama]

Yeah, thats just proof we've been looking for. Not long ago, before SC2 announce, one of russian gaming sites, claimed that mysterious new project is actually MMO based on SC universe. I mean c'mon, these gaming sites getting their information directly from portals like yours. Anything to attract more visitors.

When you declared your personal war against leaked fakes, I thought, oh, cool, one decent man who wants to avoid hype madness. Damn, I was wrong, you're even worst than those who intentionally spreading false rumors.

[FISKER_Q]

Ok that sounds pretty promising if the new expansion is already sent to be Rated

Unless of course they by (GC Demo) mean "Game Convention Demo", thing is if that's considered a demo or a playable demo

[gore]

Outland has Shattrath as a "capital" city, with a presence of the playable races due to those left behind after the closing of the portal. Northrend wouldn't reasonably have a large "friendly" city (especially without people there getting across the world somehow to other cities), so the goblin city in Undermine would be the new "capital" in the expansion.

thats what i see most likely, not sure if anyone else saw the maps on the behind the scenes dvd but it had undermine and northrend all mapped out like they were definitely planning them for the future

il look for the link

[gore]

there you go

was on the world of warcraft colectors edition aswell, so unless it was some cruel joke, its not fake

I don't really get the first paragraph of your post.
However, for the second part, this supposedly false rumor is pretty legit. It's pretty much the same as finding patents for not yet announced products, actually.

[Malineros]

Thanks, Boub... they're sneaky buggers.

@Ama, I don't think there's any cause to lose respect for this site or Boubouille because he tries to quash fake leaks, then allows/confirms real information when it gets posted.

We're all slavering over the news. We want to know, and we're going to speculate, and dig, and feverishly latch onto anything we feel is reputable/reasonable/believable enough to satisfy us. It's unavoidable that it will end up on this site as on others, but at least he's deleting the stuff that's just pointless waste of time.

Cheers to Boub!

Hmm whats the little square in the middle north of Nazjatar ? Even my farsightedness can't read it.

The first paragraph is meant to discredit the finding of the rating, stating that the misinformation about SC2 vs SC MMO means this German source could be as off as the Russian one was... it leads right into the second paragraph, looking down on Boub for posting "yet another false rumour" with "misinformed" source info.

[Boubouille]

That's the only proof you will get, nobody will post screenshots or anything like that, because Vivendi's lawyers are way better than any website's.

[gore]

my screenshots legal k. plus no idea what the square is

[Ama]

I don't really get the first paragraph of your post.

What exactly you're not getting? What some german rating site webmaster in urgent need to put a name for a project took the name from MMO-Champion, just to fill the void? Ofc, I understand, Blizzard won't tell _us_ the name of their new expansion, few days before Blizzcon, but sure they'll tell this to some ratings site, hoping we won't find out? Don't be silly, please.

[Shadowclaimer]

Vivendi's lawyers are summoned from the nether itself.. they attack without warning, devouring all light and matter until nothing remains..

I think the voidwalkers maybe blizzard's way of telling us something..

[Boubouille]

Gore : I know, i'm talking about screenshots of the expansion itself.

[gore]

ahh right kk

[Krau]

If you examine the german site a little more it provides some additional info:

Publisher: Vivendi Games Deutschland (Deutschland=Germany)
USK Nr.: 19248/07
Sprache (Language): englisch
System: PC
Genre: Add On

Not like it is all that surprising/secret (as Boub provided us with rather solid info), but it kills the gamecube theory...Maybe it's coming to the wii!
