F2P WoW confirmed?

Never heard of this guy. Doesn't seem to actually work at Blizzard.
Also:

He's not anymore knowledgeable of what's actually going on than Bellular or Asmongold.

[lanerios]

Nope, just had the chance to see a few things.

Sure, and my father's job has a cleaner who has a neighbor who has a nephew that did an internship at the location of blizzcon as a toilet cleaner. And he saw that such a prediction was just like the toilets there. Full of ***

[Murlocos]

Pointing out that the discussion of WoW is going to change a lot after an expansion reveal is not a hint at possessing hidden knowledge, it's common sense.

[M1dkn1ght]

I agree, classic+ & cata classic + SoM would take up the hour though. 30 minutes on classic+ and 30 minutes on an expansion everyone already knows about + simple changes to the new SoM.

I wish cata classic wasn't happening but I have a feeling that it is.

[Cheezits]

Bad news. Might mean that what they are going to show is so dissappointing that they expect to face questions that are too rough if done live on stage.

After April Fools Joke guy and China guy, there is no reason an executive would allow them to do a Q&A, especially not for a fanbase full of people that genuinely hate the company. SL was like the last chance for the community to earn back the devs trust after BFA and they didn't so it's never happening again.

In warcraft community even the most bland statement can evoke a "dramatic discourse"

[M1dkn1ght]

Battle Pass / Seasons WoW akin to Diablo IV is way more likely than F2P.

Battle Pass is the worst thing to happen since Loot Boxes.

This is the truth of the matter.

Also I cannot believe I didn't even think about this before but Thrall being cover for Blizzcon Art could just be Cata Classic lmao.

I vehemently disagree and I'm willing to die on that hill.

I wish cata classic wasn't happening but I have a feeling that it is.

I think it kind of *needs* to happen, because MoP is so widely appreciated as an expansion and they can't really get there without first getting through Cataclysm. It also seems pointless to let Classic die at this point since it's been going strong for years

[Cheezits]

This is the truth of the matter.

Yeah, but he'd be wearing his stupid shaman outfit.

We already have a battlepass. What could you have meant by this?

[Demonly]

I do not believe my point is flawed. Blizzard's design philosophy and classification are really not that hard to read and understand. They have a pattern lol.

New Continent - a massive playable area with very large zones (that's completely new landmass)

New World - a region that's divided into smaller sub-zones but not a whole new continent and play area with large zones. (In case of WoD though, its essentially a remake of Outland from older times, so its not really a new continent, so they used the word "World" instead)

New Zone - one zone that is large on its own such as Zereth Mortis, Forbidden Reach, and the upcoming Amidrassil in 10.2

I am not sure how people do not see the classification yet lol, it's so predictable.

It's still going over your head.

New zone - reserved for 1 zone locations, they have never said "New zones"
New Continent - reserved for a new landmass of zones added to ONLY Azeroth

"typically a new expansion" is just that, doesn't mean it's reserved for new expansions, but new multi zone continents that are on their own.

Avaloren is located WEST of KALIMDOR, this would be in of itself a new continent, not a new zone, and never once have they used any other phrasing other than what I described above.

Zereth Mortis - located "outside of reality"
Forbidden Reach - Located inside the Dragon Isles
Amidrassil - Located inside the Dragon Isles.

That is fact, your copium on them naming this a continent because "expansion" is heavy.

I would never say "3 new zones" as a preview for a new landmass being added to the map. I would say "New Continent" because that is what it is, there's no arguing that.

opening ceremony is gonna be 1 hour, the time left over will be some surprise like the survival game

[Moth Preacher]

If it will be a World Revamp: will they increase the size of the locations to match new Dragonriding speed?

[Leowyld]

As far as Soul's tweet goes, I wouldn't read anything specific into that. He is a very prolific content creator, but not the sort who tends to have actual insider knowledge. He's just referencing the fact we'll definitely be having lots of new discussions after whatever the WoW news is at BlizzCon - and we will, that's a given.

[Valysar]

I don't think, maybe they'll just combine 2 zones into one

[Hitei]

This is the truth of the matter.

It's his SL armor and BfA+ axe, so he's probably in whatever 11.0 is. Not that this actually hints at anything, because he's Thrall and could could lead the charge into a new world continent to build the Horde frontier as much as he could (lol) be the Horde lead in to a goblin expansion, or part of the diplomatic party sent to K'aresh.

It is, but it makes money.

Nope. Nothing is going over my head.

If Avaloren is going to be a whole new continent it won't be a part of 10.3 it will be an expansion. And if its just a "new world" with 3 sub zones then that is just awful and a waste.

Blizzard has stopped doing that many raid tiers as well and it's quite obvious that 10.2 is the final major patch of DF. Avaloren will be a bug brand new thing not a content patch. I do not understand why people still think 10.3 is a thing.

It's consistently been 3 raid tiers per expansion, Tier 1 at the base, Tier 2 in a .1 patch and a Tier 3 in a .2 patch. Amidrassil is the last raid tier.

10.2.7 will most likely be the last and will feature Season 4 with fated raids similar to Shadowlands.

You mean they're going to make everyone at BlizzCon have a battle royale IRL?
