[Fahrad Wagner]

Ohohoho, that would be fun. We're due for an world revamp.

Here's hoping.

It is line 6

Oooof I'd have to dig way back but basically they dropped us clues written in binary, and it said World Revamp, Khaz Algar zone, Sargeras pulling out the Sword from Azeroth and Illidan and Titans being back to fight on our side against Xalatath and Iridikrond. New class: artificer and new race being stormforged earthen

Yes! Im channeling all of my stored Karma reserves to make this happen.

BlizzCon schedule should be updated with the proper durations now. 1 day until opening ceremony!

What sword??

Its just an exhibit like the DMF and corridor of time and like all exhibits they dont hide it means nothing.

[Nibelheimy]

Yeah the idea of having that for some underground zones, plus the Titanforge race concept is enough to get me feeling a bit hyped, but I gotta stop getting hyped over an imaginary system that may never make it to wow.

I could get behind a Titanforged race, but what we think in our heads would be a 'Titanforged' race is not will be delivered. I can only think back to Mechagnomes and Drac'thyr. That's the thing we'd probably get.

There was a similar leak before that that said the same thing named Shadow over Azeroth

Also there's the Spiritborn class D4 leak that said the WoW title would be SoA

[TwoGnomesTall]

The Shadow over Azeroth leak is true but outdated.

SoA was an internal name given to the expansion based on a joke that was going around the development teams as massive layoffs were happening during the conceptional stage of development, giving it the working title SoA (Save our Asses) by the development team, but brought to higher ups as Shadow over Azeroth. 11.0 has had plenty of different names, might be a ruse to catch leakers, therefor it is impossible to come out and say the name of the expansion since different branches of the team have heard different things.

All the story details are correct, except for the use of the Heart of Azeroth. The Heart will be used to infuse several beacons around Azeroth. The best way to describe this is it basically activates a Stargate to Khaz'Algar. Activating the gateway is what the pre-patch is all about. Wrathion, Thrall and Magni are big players in locating and activating these beacons. M.O.T.H.E.R is back for the expansion aswell. And to clarify, you don't need to go back and do content from several expansions ago to unlock anything in this expansion.

That too! Honestly, if I had to bet on anything, it would be that one

They were on a hiring spree while expansion concept was being done. They literally just added like 200 people to the dev team.

Also so I’m not crazy I’m talking about this: we knew about this already? imgur com/a/YIX077A

What is it

[Edlarel]

LIES, we can be hyped so long as we hedge our expectations. It would be a wonderful thing to imagine. If it doesn't happen, oh well.

And going back to titanforged; they could be allied races/alternate forms of current. But then we'd have to also have first flesh races as well, being proto-tauren/trolls/goblins. Orcs would be gronn-like. It could work but would have to be spread out over the expac like BFA, and there'd have to be equal options on each side, if not every race (not sure they'd have proto-pandaren unless furbolgs)

Rumble is live now for those who preloaded it on the App Store. Cute lil thing!

If it's Shadow Over Azeroth, they better do a "Shadow Over Innsmouth" story somewhere in there

So the world revamp is happening?

[Throren]

Exactly 24 hours from now

[ChairmanKaga]

M.O.T.H.E.R is back for the expansion aswell.

Will M.O.T.H.E.R and Tyr be the new IT couple?

[FlemmMinis]

Rumble is surpriusingly fun

[Nibelheimy]

If none of the leaks are real this might be the first expansion reveal since Pandaria and WoD I'm completely surprised by what's announced.

To quit the thread and save my surprise, or stay and push us to 3000 pages.. What to do.

I cant believe people still put value in that. The D4 information that guy posted was already public. It got leaked through the D4 2.0 build they accidentally put up and didnt encrypt properly. Thats why he wrote a fucking essay about D4 but got cryptic about wow.
