The collection of dungeons seemed interesting though. Seems to imply a world revamp.

I guess the bets are down on either Shadowlands/Dragon isles, or World revamp + stuff expansion going forward. wonder which will get closer to the truth.

Blizzard!

Thou shalt feed thy misfits, thus we inhale thy content.

also I noticed that's not the current Goldshire Inn where that character is in

I still want to see that hole in the Chamber of Heart used. I'm pretty sure it's either going to be a lift, and/or something's going to burst up through it--like a tentacle, or a tide of liquid azerite or something.

Might be the WoD Alliance inn. Would definitely be the way to go if you wnted a full revamp. make a few new assets and replace all the old buildings with the new ones.

Remember when every single leak was basically south seas, Kul Tiras and Zandalar and N'zoth doing something with the occasional Naga playable race?

Those where fun times.

Surprised we have not gitten more Scourge 2.0 expansion "leaks" yet. Most of them seem foxated on dragons and/or death in general.

Not that i am complaining, since i like reading leaks on world revamps. but it is a bit weird.

Remember when Azshara wasn't Kael'Thas?

I like this a lot, and it sits with me more than other leaks where I realize very quickly that something about it sucks.

Things I like that are smart: Plunder Isle looking dungeon in Stranglethorn, renaming Tinker to Mechanic, Dragon Isles but the focus being on world revamp (to better make the theme Cataclysm 2: World Revamp 2 plus Dragons).

I remember so many leaks, Eye of Azhara with the fake login screen meme
Emerald Dream, Council of Glades, Rise of The Legion, Fury of the Sea, Dark Below with that trademark...

[EbaumsTipster]

Laughing at the South Seas/Azshara expansion ideas is a little silly when BFA is a South Seas/Azshara expansion with a war theme tacked on haphazardly. It's playing out exactly what every single Azshara expansion was predicting (Islands -> Azshara -> Nzoth), it's just not Azshara or Nzoth on the cover.

Pretty good attention to detail whether or not it is fake. Spell/talent icon in menu is also different. And what the heck are lairs?

Something about it doesn't sound, though - new class, world revamp, new continent, revamped leveling system and a new talent tree... I'd argue that it's way too much stuff for an actual expansion.

They sound like scenarios with punishment.

OP says Lairs are 3-man roguelikes, which I assume means randomly generated.

Can anyone find out if that area they took a picture in is a copy of another area?

Any leak that says 9.0 has a shit ton of new content.systems makes sense, because BFA has barely any. They clearly intended BFA to be filler.

Looks like the draenor garrison or the Stormshield inn

I'm also not sold on those icons, a lot of them seem to just be essences from 8.2
I'm also surprised lairs have a tab in the journal, not even scenarios or island expeditions got their own tab

I'm going to stay a cynic and say that it's still too much. Also, Battle for Azeroth has a fair amount of systems and content - Azerite Armor, Islands, Warfronts, two new continents... I know a lot of them are disappointing, but they are still there.

Besides, how convenient that the mechanic has an Azerite-based healing spec and can use 8.2 azerite ability icons :P

[Raetary]

edit: i was wrong!

[Kereberus]

Lotta Effort in that one.
