Thrall poster is back!

Is that the default smoke signal for "a new expansion has been chosen?"

We just got the Taylor Swift song for this years' BlizzCon week.

Here I was hoping we're heading our of Metzen age (Thrall) into a Golden age of WoW (Jaina). /joke i don't really think the poster means anything

Do they usually replace the posters after the expansion is announced during the convention?

Amazing, 8.0 theme?

[Nyel]

Why can't the ghost horse sounds be just sounds for a ghost horse? I mean it musn't be a mount. Maybe it's just some type of neutral/ hostile NPC? I remember having Ghost Horses in an expansion, WoD? Do those horses share the same sounds?

So they've started decorating already. I know we sometimes get leaked photos from inside, but we ever get some with major revelation?

Hopefully. The 1:55 reminds me heavily of a Titan/Algalon scenario.

If we're gonna get something, now will be the time for it.

Beacause EVERYTHING needs to have a bigger meaning and NOTHING can just be as it is when it comes to speculation. /s

I am slowly edging closer to this:

• "Lord of Ravens who turns the key" was Khadgar, and the act he did was to use the Pillars of Creation to ultimately enable Sargeras to stab Azeroth.
• "On her third death she will usher in our coming" might be Azeroth, who dies from Sargeras, spills her blood, and as C'thun "draws his strength from the earth" he becomes powerful enough to initiate the Old God invasion.
• "The king of diamonds" who was made a pawn is Magni Bronzebeard who edged us on in our quest to save Azeroth. He may or may not have heard Azeroth/Old Gods, and he may or may not have had evil intentions. Perhaps he simply misinterpreted her signals, or she was already so assailed by Old God corruption that her nightmares muddled her message.
• Now I'm wondering if Jaina is evil or good, and if Anduin or Wrathion is the deceitful boy-prince.

I hate country but damn did i love the Country era of Tay tay. This pop crap needs to die. So bland like the rest

I'll get on making some gifs out of the music video in the afternoon!

Does blizz have a gift shop or something were visitors can go in their building to check it out or some stuff?

They are just trying to rack in ad revenue from all the speculations.

These cutouts have been used in almost every space skybox in Legion (they were added in 7.0) for them to creep up the void and possibly for us learning Sargeras' true goal. From what I managed to find (and I check these almost every patch since I find them interesting) there weren't any skyboxes added exclusively for silithusphase1

Exactly my thought. I didn’t get hy they made an article for it.

You gotta make the $$$ somehow, what better way than expansion hype?

On a serious note, I currently don't see any connections between silithusphase1 and the cutout textures. However it is used in most Antorus skyboxes:

Will do a more in depth investigation a bit later.

Any reason for all the gas around Azeroth? Or is that speculation also?

Speculation at the moment, but most widespread theory is that Sargeras is causing it, and that we'll see him in the sky either as an animation near Azeroth or a model coming towards us.

Yeah, reaching will reach a new high the week before Blizzcon.

So many pages overnight. A good bear must rest properly.

What did I miss? (I watched the fucked up audio tour bullshit)
