Oh really? What do you know about it beyond it being an Emerald forest? We haven't visited it. Just a semblance of it.The whole point here that you're ignoring is that we not only knew next to nothing about the Shadowlands beyond "it's the realm of the dead", and the not-insignificant implications of the existence of different afterlives, that means the Shadowlands had a lot of room to grow and be expanded upon.
That is not the case with the Emerald Dream. Because, again, we already know a lot-- and yes, it is a lot-- about that alternate dimension. Because we, as the players, visited it several times throughout the game, and the dimension also was showcased, sometimes heavily, in several stories and books.
So, there is no possibility for it to grow beyond just a green forest? You lack vision, my friend.And that's why it won't ever be an expansion. At best, a content patch zone like Argus.
It features pretty much the same everytime.Wrong. Because the Emerald Dream is still used a decent lot in quests, stories and books. And possibly a future expansion's mid-content patch. Not featuring it as a full expansion does not mean "throwing it into the trash".
This realm would have the equivalent amount of content as the Shadowlands. You can't condense all of that dimension into a single patch zone.
Once they run out of established places. As for now, they're using known locations.They don't need it. They could add something completely new, y'know?
That could very well be the Emerald Dream. We know the rules of physics do not apply there. We know it is affected by nighmarish influence. We know Druids go there when they slumber. We know the World Soul probably dreamed it into existence. It has every characteristic of a dream.That is not the Emerald Dream.
The blueprint of Azeroth. What, you think they designed it all to be just a green forest?That is also not the Emerald Dream.
