We still got an hour before its usual schedule.

[Jaggler]

So...

Lich King 4.0 (sans Helm)
Dragons
Scarlet Crusade and Avaloren

What else could there be in TLT?

Well depending how TWW shakes out Nerubians and Old God shenanigans.
Titans, obviously
Trolls in Zul'Drak
Worgen settling in Grizzly Hills
Frost Giants in Storm Peaks

Just a few off the top of my head

[Padwarle]

As I recall the Drakkari trolls are pretty much all gone. There's a few scattered remnants but they've been killed off for the most part.

Though given how the story's played with numbers that isn't as big a roadblock as one may think.

Exploring Azeroth states that there are still Drakkari roaming around, so there seem to be surviving ones.

I think with the Zandalari and Bwonsamdi in our fold and with what we learned in Shadowlands, I think Blizz could cook up a nice story about resurrecting their dead loa/finding new ones and re-establishing a new Zul'drak

It feels incredibly likely that Drakkari will come back as Amani surely will in Midnight, and both will use a new model they share.

Definitely going to be something involving Iridikron, probably his lair which is somewhere beneath northrend.
Wouldn't be surprised if we got an actual Azjol'Nerub zone be it a patch zone like Zaralek, or added on as part of the revamp.
There'll definitely be some stuff dealing with remnants of the scourge and the lich king. Would be cool to have ICC revamped as a mega-dungeon or maybe re-do some of the ICC dungeons for M+. (super excited to see what they do with ICC visually in a modern, dynamic flight era world)
Obviously more vrykul stuff.
Almost certainly something big with Ulduar. Id bet the final raid when the titans actually come down and whatever their terrible secret is revealed (or whatever it was Metzen said about them at blizzcon)

Maybe the end of TLT we'll fight against the titans and maybe to save ourselves from them we'll do something with Yoggy's corpse that spurs a return of the old gods that leads into whatever is next.

[Throren]

considering its size and where its situated, I could see Wintergrasp updated to be a hub

[Nymrohd]

I think Wyrmrest will be the natural hub. DF was the introduction to the new storyline, Iridikron is bound to show up and if we are facing the Titans, it is all hands on deck. Wyrmrest is close to the middle of Northrend

Also beta opt in when they already sold beta access? I am just not sure they will be able to serve that. I remember some people only got in beta for MoP in the last 2 months. This beta is likely going to be shorter and they have a legal obligation to who knows how many paying customers.

[Throren]

I feel like Wymrest is too small to be a "Hub city" its just one tower and not a very big one at that, you could fit the entire tower inside the Valdrakken tower

- - - Updated - - -

Curve-ball - the hub is Strand of the Ancients

Well, who knows how it will look in a revamp though. I assume Northrend will be scaled up. Maybe the ice around it has receded revealing the entire building (it clearly extends below the ice after all)

[Cheezits]

I think they will do something in Borean Tundra, maybe the two faction areas are made much larger. Dragonblight would be too repetitive and it's PROBABLY not a mega-Dalaran, but it could be.

[Eldryth]

I wouldn't be surprised if they skip this week, given the attempted secrecy regarding the apparent start of Alpha.

Would be glad to be wrong though, I'm hoping to see the remaining Hero Specs first and it'd be great to know when to expect them.

Or you know, Steve who usually write it is kinda more busy for few weeks.

As much as I love Dalaran. Please do not give us Dalaran 3.0
