"Council of Glades" trademark filled

[Soulwind]

It's worth noting that even if this were a completely public trademark filing, the NZ database would not be updated yet. After reviewing the last few hundred trademarks to be filed on a weekend, trademarks with a filing date of a Saturday don't appear in the database until Tuesday, sometimes Wednesday. And that's for public trademark filings. If they indeed offer a private filing service, I can't discern any way we could refute it atm.

Does that kind of service even exist? I don't know much about trademarks, but isn't public knowledge kind of the point? People knowing you own something and they can't use it.

Lay on hands.

Council of Glades? Sure sounds like a Council of (Tirisfal) Glades expansion to me.

Some people have speculated that Khadgar of WoD was in fact Medivh in disguise. With the Burning Legion, there's also a clear link.

Considering that they recently took the burning legion back as a big player, it's less far fetched than what the rest are conjecturing.

And I like how we can defend things just because we like the idea. Neither side has a real solid basis right now.

Never said I liked it. I'd need a bit more information for me to determine if I really do or not. Right now I just don't have a knee-jerk hatred of it.

exists the "mobile cell phones and tablets" part also in the other released wow expansions ? if not, i bet on hs expac, if its not a fake (what i still think is very likely).

i ask myself if the part of the "mobile cell phones and tablets" is also in the other released wow expansions. if not, i bet on hs expac, if its not a fake (what i still think is very likely).

It's part of the software trademark nowadays, it's been since MoP (people assumed it was a mobile game back then).

This amount speculation isn't even in pre Blizzcon days

I'm still trying to figure out the grammatical discussion. It doesn't matter, it could be a Emerald Dream/Council of Tirisfal expansion for all we know. All that matters now is to find out if the trademark is real or not (seems real so far).

It seems to be just people disliking the name pretending to discredit the supposed leak by some grammar shenanigans which don't even follow.

hm, ok. well ... then... but ... council of glades ??? really ???

[Deleted]

Could be the legion attack on Azeroth expac Wrathion warned the players about in MoP. Azshara? Possibly. I bet we get a ship and a south seas underwater continent, plus revamped Kalimdor / East kingdom zones updated from the cata zones.

Stormwind's park zone might finally get fixed too. Council of Glades? Sylvanas might find herself minus a capital soon if the Alliance retake Lordaeron. She'll get over it.. there's always Northrend.

Well, if they call a new continent "Glades", then sure, Council of Glades makes sense. For any other context, the Glades would be more fitting and even sound better.

You do seem to be defending it quite a bit.

[Gheld]

It really lacks impact and focus as a title... so it could be legit.

[KrazyK923]

Except I'm not at all? My point has only ever been that the argument being brought up about how it isn't grammatical is absolutely ridiculous. Especially when it was initially presented as if it supposedly being grammatically incorrect means this is fake. I've never once said the name is good or bad.

To be honest, The Council of The Glades sounds clunky and bad to me. The Council of Glades sounds much better and makes perfect grammatical sense.

Why is it such a big deal?

An expansion could be called "Glory of Kings", "Eye of Azshara", or "Mists of Pandaria", and nobody would care.

Council of Glades sounds cool, and could be a reference to a secret society working from within the density of the woodlands, metaphorically speaking.

Isn't that precisely what the Council of Tirisfal does?

[Deleted]

No...it doesn't? And besides in reality it would be The Council of Glades. Just like it was The Cataclysm.

Look, again, I'm not saying it's impossible. I am however saying that 'the Council of Glades' by pure semantic conjecture means one of the following:

-a council made up of representatives of various zones that are referred to as glades
-a council taking place in a place where there are some glades and the location itself is not actually important
-a council made up of representatives of parts of a zone that is made up of glades.

None of these make semantic sense when applied to the actual Council of Tirisfal as we know it. Council of the Glades however does. Because the zone that we know as (the) Tirisfal Glades is a geographical unit and as such might be referred to as 'the Glades', not just 'Glades', unless some weird local dialect was applied.

Trust me, I studied languages.

They should make an expansion that introduces the Lannisters to Azoroth in like the 1900s or something.

That'd be cool as shit.

Actually, I'd prefer an expansion where the Horde and Alliance go to war over whether the expansion title makes sense or not.
