Blizzard Trademarks "Warlords of Draenor" - WoW Expansion
Blizzard just trademarked "Warlords of Draenor" in New Zealand. It was then registered in Australia shortly after.

  • Computer game software, computer game discs, downloadable computer game software, computer game software downloadable from a global computer network, interactive multimedia computer game program; downloadable electronic game software for use on portable electronic devices such as mobile and cellular phones, laptops, handheld computers, and tablet PCs.
  • Entertainment services, namely, providing on-line computer games; providing on-line non-downloadable computer games that may be accessed via a global computer network; providing online news and information in the field of computer games.

It's also worth mentioning that warlordsofdraenor.com was registered a month ago.

I do realize that we had a lot of fun times with trademarks in the past (*cough* Dark Below *cough*) but let's just say that on a personal level I'm pretty confident about this one. I'll leave the speculation up to you guys until Blizzcon.

    when Boubouille posts stuff, I pay attention. When Boubouille says 'I'm pretty confident on a personal level', I have no doubts.

    Yeah, even IF this is the title of the expansion, it means time-travel to old Draenor (unless they remake it like mainland Azeroth, but that'd be hard since Outland is pretty linear and isn't amazingly big). I'm not sure how well an entire expansion based around time travel would go.

    Orrrr.... um... Maybe Outlands is only half of the remaining pieces of Draenor? Maybe the other half was hidden in mist...

    Cough. Cough.

    What ever happened to credit where credit is due?

    I uncovered both the domain name and the NZ trademark before anybody else :\

    Shit the more I think of it the better it gets! I would love to fight throught the Dark Portal again! Play aside Khadgar etc.

    Not sure how it will work with the horde, since they cant really fight themselves :s Maybe different raids for alliance / horde? Horde raid : get to Kalimdor, Alliance raid, stop horde from getting into Kalimdor?

    This couldnt get better, first time I am so happy about an expansion, even thought we know nothing yet.

    Remember that leak from yesterday also said The Dark Below was for Titan

    I'm very dissapointed... I wanted to venture into Argus, Xoroth, or something more outspaceous...

    Also I'm NOT BUYING the explainations that "Draenor is not fully discovered"... Draenor is no more, it is now nearly destroyed, and that world was ALWAYS know as something like this:
    Code:
    wowpedia.org/File:Draenor_map.jpg
    And since Outlands are just a remainings of that one continent, I don't think it is smart to add "MISTERIOUS UNDISCOVERED PART OF DRAENOR" . It's just a Pandaria 2.0, no lore related. MoP all over...

    Would be awesome if we went back in time to draenor before it was torn apart.
    I don't think we would go back to outland as it is now, that would be weird.

    A week until blizzcon, cant wait!

    well... thought it was "worlds of draenor" >.< well... then the idea of portals etc. doesnt make sense now

    Maybe we will see Gul'Dan ?! i mean... he was THE bad guy behind the invasion @ azeroth so it would make sense if he would be the XPAC Endboss or Kil'jaeden after him.

    First he deletes the names of the Blizzard employees that leaked the info yesterday and now he makes a post himself that Warlords of Draenor is the next expansion.

    Read between the lines please.

    Ahhhh I can't wait for Blizzcon even more, happy for a return to this art style and probable story, I hope all this Time Travel stuff doesn't ruin the feel of the game like Cata, I have faith they won't do that again after the backlash though.

    P.S Please people, please, it is Outland, it has never been referred to OutlandS, The Outlands or any other name at any point ever in the game, print, advertising or anywhere ever. Outland not Outlands, the server is called Outland not Outlands, on your map it is called Outland not Outlands, sorry but it's one of those pointless things that I reeeeaaalllyy hate.

    P.P.S Hilarious at people judging the entirity of the next expansion and all its features off its name, it gives us a clue yes, but you literally cannot have an opinion until we actually know...something...about it.

    Edit: The "Leak" thread basically had zero info apart from the name and including Grom as a core character, then everyone basically made the rest up, some of it plausible, but you shouldn't judge it yet.

    SO you think no other massive part of Draenor couldn't of fallen off after having it's own utter cataclysm/big boom on it's own planet?

    Well don't get ahead of yourself. The Title Warlords of Draenor (Draenor, not Outlands) mixed with how that one rumor thread mentioned it would be a time travel heavy expansion, means there's a very good chance it'll take place before the legion comes to Draenor, so it might not have anything or very little to do with the legion

    I don't see Blizzards name attached to warlordsofdraenor.com. Not buying it until I see an official release.

    Another part of Draenor was never mentioned in lore. I don't like that kind of tricks...
