    Innocent wordplay.

    Remember a Blizzard is a storm. That's why we have the Sons of the Storm.

    Isn't this similar analogy they've used in the past for various events? I think people right now are trying to grasp for whatever they can about the expansion before Blizzcon comes since usually by now we have some information on it and are clueless other than a couple trademark titles.

    I actually think people have settled into their three camps.

    Legion supporters are grabbing anything Storm-related to validate Heroes of the Storm.

    Azshara supporters are grabbing anything that can disprove HS in order to say it's TDB.

    Emerald Dream supporters continue to talk about what should have been an expansion instead of a novel.

    I can confirm this to be a legit hint.

    Before MoP, the press release read: 'Blizzard swirls into Anaheim...'

    Before Cata, it was: 'Blizzard destroys Anaheim...'

    Before WotLK, it was: 'Blizzard raises Anaheim from the undead...'

    Before TBC, it was: 'Anaheim was just a setback!'

    Emerald Dream should have been an expansion instead of a novel! :P

    Honestly, I'd just like the portals in the world trees to take you some place, also bring back and tune up the dragons guarding them.

    Storms is most likely a deliberate wordplay. Because a blizzard is a type of storm. (But I doubt it's a secret hint)

    The Emerald Dream, or parts of it, can still be an expansion. We've had 3 mounts and 1 pet recently, all tied to Night Elves and the Druidic theme.

    There's also the Rift of Aln still to be dealt with within the Dream, which is tied to N'Zoth and possibly the Burning Legion.

    These forums also become shitstorms when anything new is announced.

    It's got to be a hint, though I will admit defeat if I am incorrect!

    I also used to love blinking through deadmines and finding the 'Emerald Dream' like place behind with the huge mushrooms and bizarre green mist.

    Well played Blizzard, well played.

    I'm inclined to believe that this is coincidental, regardless of what Heroes of the Storm turns out to be. It's wordplay that they've used before, and it fits the company and event name just as well.

    Link to all those quotes then if you can confirm it.

    And no, the Rift has nothing to do with the Legion. N'Zoth yes, legion no.

    Emerald dream raid would be in the TDB expansion.

    Honestly I don't care what the next expansion is as long as it's not the Legion. It'd feel like they rushed to the Legion to save WoW from the sub decrease, in which case I would stop playing. Story is important, and yes Blizzard is a business, but you don't fuck everything up to save something that's ten years old and that you've made a ton of money off of.

    I thought that was just an old, unused portion of hellfire?

    These Mojo-Slowpoke "conversations" are slowly turning in some retarded rivalry about nothing, only to be trashing the forums untill Blizz shows up Nov. 8 and explains everything be4 these 2 guys can finally shut up about this.
