Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Wangming]

Ever closer to 2500.

A random false alarm and we get it in an hour

[micwini]

Ok, it's not ocho. But if it was onion for shadowlands, what was the code for dragonflight? Should we look for a code for the new expansion?

It seems they just reused the same code word as the one for BFA

FALSE ALARM GUYS

Ocho just stands for eight, these assets are from the BfA micro site as an astute observer above pointed out!

Ok, then the codename for 11.0 would be some translation for "eleven" - in German that's "elf", just saying...

[ercarp]

That's the fastest drop in credibility score so far. Went from 4 to 0 in like 15 minutes.

Personally I don't think it's gonna be Avaloren so soon, simply because it was only mentioned this expansion and that feels... too soon? Like, there needs to be more build-up to things. Dragon Isles has existed for ages, the Shadowlands has too. Kul Tiras, Zandalar, Pandaria, Draenor, the Broken Isles, these have all been pre-existing locations in the lore for years and years. Avaloren was only just mentioned and people are all jumping onboard that this has gotta be it. Personally? I think we're all gonna be blindsided.

Damn it , i knew they were familiar from somewhere. Back to 0

[Jaggler]

I am absolutely destroyed, devasted and saddened.

I feel very un-OCHO now.

That's sad. It was the first really cool thing to happen here.

So onion is nine in what language?

[Auxis]

Do we have a count-down timer for Blizzcon?

Also, anyone able to quote/link exactly which post started this Ocho fiasco? I think I haven't refreshed the thread for, like, an hour and y'all had a moment or 20.

[Sabejno]

I mean good job Blizzard! Not having this leaked a day before BlizzCon is success.

[Auxis]

NVM, starts in 1 day and 4.5 hours.

"RC" seems like.

Egyptians worshipped onions because they believed their concentric circles symbolized eternal life

I can imagine Tyr explain us more about this land in 10.3, he should give us a reason to go there.
Alternatively, he could also talk about something that really picks the interest of the Horde & Alliance.

[Jodmos]

Plenty of time left.

I documented the whole thing in my leak spreadsheet (link in signature). The Name/Link column will take you the original post, the Mirror column has an imgur album that more or less tells the whole story.

ESPN 8: The Ocho is the next expansion.

Stop the nefarious White Goodman.

Thank you this is what I immediately thought of as well.

[Kiivar86]

I have to say, checking in periodically, seeing what new thing is happening in here, is kinda amusing.

You guys go from riddles to binary to damn onions.

Never change.
