    The redditor claimed it was from somewhere on twiter.

    Is it possible the artwork is legit but the logo is fake? Now that the picture is zoomed in, I don't know. What's that very visible white border for? Why does the subtitle not have a name plate? And the logo shape is somehow off. Can't explain it, but it feels wrong.

    Pixel hunting on an image that blurry seems futile. It's entirely possible too that this new logo hasn't been consistently applied to all material yet, or isn't meant to be in the first place. I'm a little surprised there wasn't more debate about the expansion title no longer having a connected background to the main logo, something that only started with TBC Classic's logo.

    Yes. Reddit doesn't have a direct timestamp (that I am aware of) but the post already said it was posted 2-3 hours old when the javascript title leak got uncovered on here.

    an interesting idea.

    If you can pull up the original Reddit post, hovering over the Posted X days ago should give an exact timestamp.

    Shouldn't it be Invoker and not Evoker.

    To invoke means to call upon something.

    To evoke means to call something from memory.

    One would assume they are invoking the power of the dragons.

    Is that for or against the leak being legit?

    Just a neutral observation, can't really go off the Classic logo because you could always say it's just something they're doing for Classic and not the main game. If it is real, it seems like they're breaking away from that consistent logo design entirely.

    Evocation is also defined as "the action of invoking a spirit or deity."

    So it works.

    Further, evoking is derived from French "évoquer" which is itself derived from Latin "evoco" which means "to call out, summon".

    What is an Evoker and why are people speculating it? I know it's "like a Summoner" but we already have one of those and if we need another, Necromancers are right there

    I believe the general idea is a class that evokes, or calls upon, the powers of a dragon.

    I strongly considered pointing this out, but the artwork itself seemed really enough and didn't return anything from minor searching (besides the fact that the staff is frustratingly familiar) and the name was right so I didn't prod too much into it

    Also this isn't quite accurate, regular Classic's logo was also an unframed subtitle.


    Which I feel like is another point against this logo... it seemed like they were doing the unframed thing to distinguish Classic as being not an expansion, but a modification of existing world of warcraft. My first thought was definitely "that's weird and seems fake" ditto the world now being high up instead of framed, but it's entirely possible they just decided to update the image a bit.

    Yeah, I have serious doubts that that is true. Blizzard wouldn’t just materialize a class and race out of thin air without any seeding or background in the game world. If they didn’t do it for Shadowlands, they’re not going to do it in this expansion, especially with Alexstraza on the cover.

    Feniela and Scaleface, who supposedly know what's in store, are teasing it.

    An Evokar would evoke the powers of the dragonflights, not summon things.

    I think if the Evoker is real it will be dragon related, though I'm not sure why they wouldn't just call it a Dragonsworn. Maybe @Scaleface will reveal more during the days leading up to the announcement. Idk.

    Oh, that's just a Dragonsworn then, isn't it? Or this like, a dragon-summoner rather than someone with the powers of dragons?

    I see; still just sounds like a Dragonsworn (a concept that already exists via the RPG books) by a different name; Evoker is a weird name for a dragon class, IMO, even if they don't go with the Dragonsworn name. Like, what?

    The first name post in our thread (#35204) on page 1761 is showing as:

    I believe it was posted on twitter before it was posted on reddit, but I don't use either so I'm not 100% sure.
