Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Keyalios]

This is how I read the DF reception.

Do remember that even by the end of MoP people were tired of it, though it was the longest content drought in WoW’s history.

My point is end of the expansion people almost always get tired of the expac. Some of the ones looked back fondly on now were decidely less positive at the time of release.

Blizzard just purchased an SSL certificate for the domain riftofaln.battle.net

Not sure if it was reported here but I saw this on reddit too

This one can be safely ignored, tl;dr it's a renew and has been kicking around since 2017. Likely internal.

Could have been towards the beginning of development.

sad face I was thinking it sounds like a cool HS expansion at least

[Nightmare Queen]

All jokes aside, if WoW implemented a dodgeball battleground, I'd be all for that.

How about a 'Bloodbowl' Battleground instead?

Rift of Aln has The Dark Below vibes to me, but ofc, I can be wrong.

Hearthstone expansion is already revealed so dont expect one at blizzcon just the remaining cards

Rift of Aln does exist though. In emerald dream/nightmare. We fought xavius there in the raid. But as it's been said, likely just something internal as it's been owned for 4 years now

I'm late today, where are we getting the Shadow title from?

Shadows over Azeroth has to be a sarcastic title. The title wouldn't reuse words from previous expansions, lest they be mistaken for the 2 worst reviewed expansions ever: Shadowlands & Battle for

Can we please read a bit of the backlog before posting. "Rift of Aln" has been posted, and debunked, over & over, at least 20 times, today.

That was renewed right before Blizzcon? They could have made sure they got the domain way in advance so when this day comes they can actually use it before it's taken. Happens a lot.

Everyone continues to focus on what they want rather than what seems far more likely. Shrug.

It's a subdomain under battle.net and has been for years. Nobody else can register it, they own the entire battle.net domain.

The certificate has been getting automatically renewed around this time every year. There is absolutely nothing special or unusual going on.

Ok, I see. It doesn't mean nothing though, right? I mean it's the title of something correct?

As far as this thread is concerned, it means nothing.

[KyleEverett]

I hope in the end Scaleface is right, I wanna see something that crazy realized in game.

The Rift of Aln is where we fought Xavius in the Emerald Nightmare.

iirc they like to use references from their various IPs for internal systems, networking, payroll, etc.

The chances of it being something non-Blizzard employees would care about is very slim.
