And in Cataclysm, Blizz added some quests to the nerubian dungeons that reveal how surviving nerubians are preparing to hatch a new generation, complete with a giant egg containing a new nerubian matriarch. They added those quests just as I was starting to seriously flesh out my storyline, it fit perfectly with what I was doing - it's like they read my mind!
    When they killed Anub in a 5 man during WotLK I was one of those guys who cried on the forums about it until they brought him back as a raid boss. Huge fan of your ideas man and can't wait to see what you do with your next expansion. Totally envious of your in-depth lore mastery btw.

    Only problem I see with full spiderthingie expansion is the grand color scheme (enviroments) it's all stone (underground), that would make very boring, on the long run, enviroment to move around. Blizzard has been very consistent on it's expansions of giving us many kind of enviroments to explore.

    I've thought MoP was rad so far - there's plenty of darker bits to it between the Thunder King and Y'Shaarj. Though if they can make an entire expansion based on pandaren, I feel good about our changes of an eventually underground focused expansion.

    That's a valid concern, but as I've said in the past, the theme of 'underground lands' isn't any more limiting than, say, Northrend's theme of 'frozen lands.' You can have all kinds of environments besides spooky caves - sprawling underground cities of the nerubians in dark brick and gold illuminated by spell fire, a swampy forest of mushrooms and fungus that give off bioluminescent light, ancient temples carved out of ice in subterranean glaciers, buried jungles lit by magical suns overhead, titan cities built on black mountains towering high above oceans of magma...

    Also something like this:

    And that's a real live place.

    If some mook like me can dream up all that in his spare time, imagine what Blizzard could do if they took a theme like 'underground' and really ran with it.

    I'm curious, how do you do the zone/instance maps? Do you create them from scratch and use existing WoW maps as an illustration or something? And what is the program you use to modify the WoW logo for your liking?

    I'd love to know, as you see, I have an expansion idea of my own underway.

    With 'Flying Wild', right? That would be pretty sweet.

    I use Photoshop for everything, including how I made the logo.

    I go over how I made the maps here:

    Good luck with the idea!

    Spread the gospel. Tell everyone to talk about how awesome nerubians and caves are to Blizzard. We might get an underground themed expac yet, or at least Azjol-Nerub as a zone or raid finally.

    X.2 is called Malevolence Rising. It will deal with the aftermath of the Twilight Cult's attack on Dalaran, what Angerboda is up to as queen of the dead, and a showdown with the Malevolence that's been haunting Northrend's ley line network since the war with the blue dragonflight ended. Plus the hidden creators of the Newbreed are revealed as their plans build up to their endgame for all of Azeroth.

    I have nothing to say other than "Blizzard, hire this guy!" - really amazing work, Golden Yak. I really enjoy reading the updates eventhough I'm not an active sub anymore.

    Haven't been here for a long time, but just came back and noticed the new changes, really like 'em ^.^ I really hope that we get to further explore the Nerubians at some point.
    What are you willing to sacrifice?
