    Not long now until Blizzcon. Hopefully Blizzard won't actually set the entire expansion in the Shadowlands, i have mentioned before why that is a stupid idea.

    Still holding out for a World revamp, even if the cinematic is real or the expansion actually being called Shadowlands preclude it from happening.
    The world revamp dream will never die!

    I know, I know... but it's just so dumb. But as you said, definitely not out of the ordinary.

    Your hope is noble, and we should all feel inspired by your unshakable faith, o mighty piece of bread.

    Even Ironforge is like.. What do we call this big city that's basically just a huge place to melt things?

    Yet they did it for Diablo III. Do you think Blizzard is above uninspired names? Unless they replace Golden with Gaiman I can totally see them naming places Bastion.

    Well, I feel like an idiot because I didn't see that one coming at all. I thought they were setting up the Legion threat for later (after all, at that point in the story it was firmly established as the final boss of the universe).

    I put all my money in the "nagas took over Azeroth while we were on Draenor" theory.

    Blizzard usually does exactly whats expected of them, lore-wise. People like to speculate how things end up and its usually the most obvious way. That alone makes me think shadowlands is a legit leak, because it would make so much sense with where the story on retail is going.

    Golden doesnt come up with the names, thats way above her paygrade.

    A "leak" that isn't obvious BS? That makes a pleasant change. It may not be true, but at least it's plausible.

    Guessing right is not the same as having insider information.

    If we go by obvious reasoning then Shadowlands is definitely not becoming more than a single zone. It is what happened to the Emerald Dream and Argus.

    It's one of the safest. But imo it lacks the "twist" Blizzard has been adding to its expansions for quite some time now.

    I wouldn't say WoD or BfA were the most obvious.

    That's exactly the twist. Gotta keep things fresh, can't keep doing the same thing.

    But Argus got 3 zones. And ED also had multiple if you count the boss arras as parts of other zones (tho ED is a stretch since its just a raid + druid class ability teleport room)

    True. Anyway as long we have places like Desolace, Capital City, Eastern Kingdoms, Northrend, Firelands and Dark Portal, I wouldn't view Bastion as out of place.
