Well this was wrong wasn't it.

Is Korthia a new zone or just an extension to the maw? Seems more like the second option for now.
Yes, man of my word. My precognitive powers saved me from buying Anduin merch in BFA, they'll do the same for this. Word count is open to suggestion.
@Sondrelk
I'm wondering if this'll be another WoD situation where there's only three raids, because I don't see any continuation if we're already in the Maw except for the Jailer to attack Oribos or wherever and wrap up the expansion. I guess we'll know based on what happens to Kel'thuzad but it seems they're blowing their load with a megadungeon + raid, which was a 8.2 throw in in BFA all in the very first patch.
Dickmann's Law: As a discussion on the Lore forums becomes longer, the probability of the topic derailing to become about Sylvanas approaches 1.
Tinkers will be the next Class confirmed.
It does seem like it could be.
More for me on flying being added this early. Feels very early unless the Devs have just completely capitulated on world design.
I guess the X.2 patches tend to be a substory like Naga or Mogu. If we still assume Thros for 9.2 then the story would essentially be shuffling its feet until 9.3.

This is the truth of it. The Delaryn thing was at least a slight risk since Blizzard could have dropped the plotline entirely (and they almost did). But Anduin has titanium plot armor.
Blowing their load on Sylvanas and Anduin early though, which would get even worse if they waste Kel'thuzad on a questline or something.
@Sondrelk
I think the WoD version is a higher likelihood unless we see some major plot threads get brought in. Deescalating from Anduin and Sylvanas to Drust #1893 would both be a misstep and hugely unlikely.

They are both gonna be "redeemed" somehow. It might be their joint plan to have Anduin villainified. Sylvanas couldn't avoid lichifying Anduin in their current position. So what I think is that they have devised a plan together, and that Anduin, being Anduin, hopes the heroes of Azeroth will find their way to bring him back.
Ill throw in my two cents,
Anduin gets saved by Talia Fordragon as a sort roll reversal save the princess. As she still needs to be his baby mama to continue the house of wrynn.
Sylvanas has her heart grew three sized that day moment against the jailer.
And then we go back to azeroth where turalyon has proclaimed himself lord protector in the name the light. Genn is leading a resistance waiting for anduin to return. And scarlet brotherhood brings in their candidate as the true heir of the alliance of lordearon. Where we have a threeway civil war.
And the horde gets to do quests involving a robot fox, and a boat ride that fades to black because blizzard couldn't be bothered to give a propper introduction to twilight highlan..... sorry the totally new zone, where horde get to go a wedding to unite some tribes. Aka being relegated to the background for a change
Yea i'm totally not still salty about cataclysm mop and bfa, o look thats all the expansions that involved faction conflict.

I actually believed this leak to be real, but oh well... The revealed stuff also sound very exciting tho!

As with BFA I think they're blowing through this too soon, especially in terms of us basically 'solving' the Maw in the following patch in some fashion, the same way Ny'alotha and Nazjatar were very quickly dealt with. I'm entirely in support of Sylvanas usurping the Jailer and becoming the last boss but the prospects of this heavily depend on what happens next. The natural escalation of the plot from Meet New Land -> Team up vs. the Jailer's Number 2 -> Kill the Blue Man once he has what he needs to invade Oribos/reality is pretty clearly set out and I don't see what you could conceivably put between 2 and 3 without spinning your wheels.

They can annoy us with her only for so long. A character prominent since ever and a catalyst of so many world changing events, final raid boss, her surviving that would be just exhausting.
This patch theme comes super early. I expected an outside threat in 9.1. Taragruwhatever was also expected more in Jailed raid. Also flying comes very early. For me it means they move the story in a very different direction after this, don't really believe in short expansion.

Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.
If we get to finally take a stake to Sylvanas, 9.1 will be the best WoW patch in years!
