*Spoilers* Actual Leak!!!

[Ielenia]

Nowhere in those quotes is it implied Ner'zhul is gone. "Nothing remained BUT.." meaning something did remain. Later in the quote it's even stated that it remains in the back of his mind.

Clear evidence that some part of Ner'zhul remained.

And with the ending of WotLK and Arthas dying it's very much possible that the remaining part of Ner'zhul makes a move on Bolvar.

The only true evidence on Ner'zhul being gone would be the Metzen quote. But Blizzard can change their mind as they left the option open with the ambiguous statement on Ner'zhul's fate. And let's not forget that Metzen just voices Thrall now he doesn't lay the groundwork in story anymore.

Anything is possible if Blizzard wants it to.

"Nothing remained but..." does imply Ner'zhul is gone. The "nothing remained" is the key part of the sentence.

"Nothing remained but ashes." implies whatever it was has been thoroughly burned.
"Nothing remained but a pile of rubble" implies the structure has been demolished.

In this case, the sentence implies Ner'zhul's mind is gone.

He has access to the office when everyone has left
What stops him from booting up one of the computers?

NOTHING!! People just don't realize yet the unlimited power and access to knowledge those 30k/year security guards have!
Fun fact. I managed to bribe a guard from Area 51 and he sent me UFO schematics from those secret area 51 pc's inside. It was more expensive because the guard was military so they are not allowed to take bribes but the point still stands. Nothing stops any random guard from booting up those pcs and getting that juicy info.
Another inside info i got is that Snowden was actually just a security guard at NSA but because the government didn't want to leak out how a security guard could get access to those secret files they just changed the story.

On top of that the image absolutely has the quality of Blizzard CGI team. It's real.

Yeah, it's real. It's from another game.

[Houle]

Yeah, it's real. It's from another game.

Dude, stop saying that shit like its a fact if u still cant provide proof.

[toffmcsoft]

Hopefully the next expansion brings back mmo philosophies that make the game great.
Blizzard truly needs to look to TBC & Wrath and rework PVP & Classes to match that of TBC / Wrath.

No more scaling please, gear should matter again.

[rhorle]

Dude, stop saying that shit like its a fact if u still cant provide proof.

The image has be proven to be highly edited. That means the stuff had to have come from somewhere and a game is the most likely candidate.

[Dakhath]

I just wonder - where it is stated that the blue colour is specifically related to Ner'zhuls corruption? Also, Arthas was LK almost entirely on his own, Ner'zhul was suppressed.

Btw. I would really like this leak to be true.

I think its mostly speculation. If you watch the cinematic from the Frozen Throne ending, he puts it on and opens his eyes revealing the blue color that we all know. The voiceover changes after this, but I think that's because it's two entities in the same space more than anything Ner'zhul did directly.

Not what i or he meant.
Since that image popped up, he is constantly saying he remembers that "bolvar" model from some "lich king"-copy game, but he wont say which one. And if u constantly talk about how u know that model from some game, u either provide proof for it or stop saying that shit.

[Imotbh]

I know what you mean, the blue glowing eyes does give it away of being fake. BUT!!! This could be a SS of a cinematic, after all a picture can mean a thousand words. So what if there is a swapping of minds due to ner’zhul still being in the helm? And they’re still fighting for control? That theory I can get behind IF this leak is the real deal.

It could be the case indeed. I can't help to hope that it won't make it into a Lich King 2.0 then and be more interesting than just a c/c

[TheFirstOnes]

So, uhm...

Tell your security guard I said thanks.

[scrappybristol]

link from gear.blizzard.com so... real?

Man that frosty glow surrounded by the fiery glows is jarring.

Whilst Fine Art print is confirmed legit, shadowlands isn't yet though.

[thilicen]

Guess I'll eat a bowl of shit. At least in regards to the Bolvar image.

[Deventh]

I refuse to believe a designer who probably has a bucketload of experience with designing pamphlets etc. Would be so lazy as to write the same thing two different ways, this has nothing to do with Blizzard being incapable of typos and everything to do with it being written correctly the first time and wrong the second, this wouldn't happen because any designer worth their salt would just copypaste what is already correctly written in order to retain consistency and avoid what is happening in this picture.

Why on earth would the fake leaker copypaste something that is incorrectly spelled when it is already correctly spelled elsewhere? That makes no fucking sense.

So, you wanna comment now? Considering that this is pretty much confirmed real? Lol, "A designer with bucketload of experience" seems to have made an actual mistake, because they are human after all! WHO WOULD"VE THOUGHT!

All these fools buying into these trolls are the entire reason that why "leaks" will always be a thing... and this one is even so shitty, especially that text "Enter the glorious land of bastion! Meet the noble kyrian! Discover new abilities!".... like srsly, this sounds like some chinese guy was bored af and then came up with it.

btw. OP can't wait for your reaction when the expac has an entirely different title xD

So many people in this thread that need to be called out.

Hahahaha, that image, XD! Made by some kindergarden kid! Her teacher surely most be proud!:

Yikes. This aged well.

[Ulfric Trumpcloak]

This leak was probably a PR stunt by Blizzard anyways.

So @Indres, what is it you do for Blizzard m8?
