It's not that hidden once you know. You don't have to go to https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/dragonflight specifically, any https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/thing also has that same reference.

So it's really opening any random page in that site and opening one of the, like, 20 URLs that are in there (and it's just the third from the top).
And then either Ctrl+F Dragon, or just scroll down until you see non-obfuscated code.

Fair enough. I can see how the numbers of active searchers permits that, then.

I did the same steps and I found the dragonflight stuff. But, I will wait for somebody here who can say if it is meaningful or a placeholder name.

---------------
Didn't we get another leak yesterday talking about a first clue? Saying something about floating islands and going up and down. The Dragonflight leak matches yesterday's "leak" https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads...-clue-is-here!

Save for that "Dragonflight" cannot be abbreviated as "GoR".

Dragonflight is interesting. I do hope Flight is part of it (I just want to fly without a mount with dragon wings!)

btw, another important, but sad detail that makes the image even more credible - Alexstrasza's belly is covered. rip.

I think the logo is actually fake as it breaks the silhouette too much and I don't think Blizzard would do that. Does anyone know where the Alexstrasza art is from, or is it an original?

The logo also seems to have the same color scheme as BfA in this lighting.

Maybe it's Heroes of the Storm? The art style looks very weird and not at all like Warcraft. I may be wrong, though.

Looks like a name leak:


This is my own picture saved from the HTML source of wow's official site.

how did you end up lloki g at this file and searching for this in the first place? oO'

I'm not often fiddling with js sourcefiles so I'm quite interesting at what you were looking for in the first place ^^

I've done a quick Google search, haven't found either that version Alexstrasza or the dragon behind her. Maybe it's buried somewhere in DeviantArt, but... it could be legit. In which case, I don't really like the logo.

Yeah it looks very uninspired for a dragon-themed expansion. Exact same color scheme as BfA's logo. A dragon-themed expansion logo should have fire and dragon scales and horns and shit all over the place. This logo has nothing to do with dragons, it has to be fake lol.

Has this been posted already? Given the name leak today

Okay buddy where did you find this

[Khaza-R]

I don't see how someone could of photoshopped something together like that so fast. Given we just discovered the name within the hour.

There's definitely some lurkers in this thread enjoying watching all this. That's all I know for certain.

[Kiria]

Oh damn, this could literally be it, Thank the gods its not an underground expansion.

[Jmatt110]

Okay buddy where did you find this

I found it on Reddit not getting much attention, I think it was posted before the name was revealed through the JS file though

[Catastrophy349]

Whelp, didn’t think that would happen today.

Let's be real, we all saw that coming. After recent... events... there's no way they would release an expansion with Victoria's Secret Power Rangers in the limelight. That would be in poor taste.

Unpopular opinion:

They look better covered up anyway. More room for cool armor designs!

They'd be hotter if they were half dragon anyway...




...what.

[Izalla]

The hype train never stops!

Choo-choo!

It was only minutes before the crazy discovery that I dozed off!! =(

Also correct me if I'm mistaken, this is the same way we knew 100% that WoD was the correct title before the reveal right? Like we had that leak with the bizarre "Grom is called Grommash to avoid confusing his name with a bike", but then like within a few days of Blizzcon (or earlier that day?) someone found the url that lead nowhere? Or am I insane and inventing false memories?

I think she looks great in that art, I have no problem with that if it's the model they're going with. Sylvanas's first belly-cover model was stupid because it didn't fit with the rest of her armor at all, lol.

...I just don't like the logo. At all.

Not false memories, just misremembering!

It was BFA that had the URL that lead nowhere. Discovered just hours before Blizzcon. I was there, I'd know.

WoD was a logo leak in a pre-Blizzcon interview.

You know what's up. I like you.

Yeah, the logo is... ehhhh.
