Project Lore

Next expansion - 100% Deathwing! BTW first!!!!

lol, I really don't care waht the next expansion will be. I just care about making my hunter L33T in this expansion :D

Next expansion will most likely delve into the realm of Ysera (Emerald Dream) Seeing as the Emerald Dream is an "alternate" version of Azeroth, I'd consider that as "revisiting".

I really hope to see the old world zones redesigned as well, through either redesigning the old zones or creating areas out of the non-explorable areas on the map. i'm currently leveling my 7th character, i have 2 80s, a 72,66,58, and a 48 right now and my 7th is just 20ish. so yeah.. ive seen the old world a lot.. and its getting sickening to level.

I wonder what could they do with the Gilneas' Lore.

i doubt well go to the emerald dream...after all....tht was subdued by completing WC....no new bosses there.....however....i think we will go into the twisting nether to go find Sargeras after all these years.....also....there are still some old world gods tht havnt appeared(apart from yogg-saron, C'thun, and the dead one at the masters glaive in darkshore)

or we could go into the Malstrum and go under water?

we could also dwell into the goblin cities and ilsands and learn more about the far-from reach areas

I was actually talking about this the other day with my guild. We had a few thoughts on what else should be done in order to sort of balance out the game/improve gameplay

The first big problem we had that if they are redesigning the old areas that they should take the time in order them able to apply the flight ability.

I must admit I started WOW because of PL and i loved all the stuff iw as seeing and the other stuff i was seeing. So to be honest i dont know the mythos around Warcraft (blizzard sucked me in with Starcraft.) Personally i can see there is a ton of content from the few guildies i know who know alot about Warcraft and this is just an amazing world.

I look forward to the next expansion....but to i have to buy/complete Wrath content before then :P

the great sundering is one if not the bigest mile stone of azeroth history and teh mael storm is a momento of that i to posed the idea of finding and destoying sargeras once and for all lets not forget about sargeas what possible treasure could that place hold what cool raid that whould make as for teh new level area picture this when the well of eternity exploded it tore up kalimdor it created northrend and easter kingdom plus a bunch of little islands left a swirling world pool in its place now imagine taht it goes REALLY bad pulls all the continets towards it and unites am into the former continent known as kalimdor no more boats to get move between continents and u could use your mound out land used o be known as dreanor its only a small chunk of the planet how about some how reforming the planet or reoping the portals that once tore appart the planet so we can travel between the broken parts of dreanor i allways wondered about teh dude with teh bierd and sick in teh completly zoomed out picture maybe blizzard can do something of that the one think i hope i dont see is herioc for old instances its been brought up many times and i do hope it will keep getting shut down

sargeras tomb*

maybe a new lvl 1-10 neutral area where all races can go to level together like a goblin homeland(not tanaris) but a whole brand new area for those of us who like to make it possible for tauren and gnomes to be friends
otherwise known as Non-PvP area!

lets not forget that in the Maelstrom is Queen Azshara, queen of the Highbourne/ Naga also in the maelstrom is a more advanced race of Makura( the lobster guys in Durotar and other low lv places), perhaps a new underwater-ish lving zone ( Yellow Submarine engineers, eh, lol) the Emerald Dream is a peaceful place......kinda nightmares are seeping into the dream as seen from the annoying quest in Icecrown where u have to save a pallies life at Sindragosa's Fall.... theres still one more Titan city left on Azeroth btw Uldum in Tanaris... if Blizz is makeing us fight Titans in Ulduar then Sargaras shouldnt be a problem..... oh and heres my suggestion on a new race: Pandaren!! Neutral Hero Race ( u have to join one side or the other tho') imagine haveing a Brewmaster in ur Raid, lol XD

Seeing Outlands and the Old World nearly abandoned is sad...and it sucks for anyone just starting out. Stuff definitely needs to happen there to repopulate the world.

well I'd like to see the emerald dream effect put in place which would open up new posibilities for major content upgrades to a major zone area which woud be capable of including all azeroth zones of kalmidor, the eastern kingdom, and northrend itself since all 3 zones are part of the original world of azeroth. I know this would be a major undertaking but it'd be so cool if it could happen this would also make it posible to allow a major level increase like 30 or 40 levels since this would be a major area of expansion. we all know how old it got with wrath everyone who ad a 70 was 80 within a week or 2 from launch. We allwould agree that the latest 2 expansions got old and boring real quick thus prompting blizz to add new areas just to keep players interested in playing.

B/C didnt get old fast Wotlk has though .......maybe it was the feel of being in a differnt world =/. wrath just seems like a lame zombie movie with some badass titans O.O.

I agree with Frostseer... I wanna see DEATHWING! That would be an EPIC fight!

Thinking that the Maelstrom sounds like the most likely expansion area given the options. I doubt you will see any new 0-60 areas for this reason... lack of character space. I know on my my main server I have the full 10 characters allotted filled and am working on levelling several. I doubt many players that have been involved for any significant time are going to have neccessary open slots on their favorite servers in order to explore new 0-60 areas. I think that we will get a 2nd hero class not new races. What I would like to see are some of the areas on the edges of azeroth more complete... ie the innaccessable coastal spots covering the continents. I realize that the 2 original continents of azeroth are massive areas to consider... and that the areas in the 2 expansions were created after technology and users hardware have advanced some but swimming around the coast of either Kalimdor or Eastern Kingdoms makes them feel spotty at best. It would be fun to play a goblin... but I don't see it happening!

i remember seeing something on one of the PL episodes where dorkins took some kind of 'drug' and was able to see the spirit world.. maybe you could do that game wide with a few reskins and some new monsters. sure it would still be the same basic maps but at least you could add a whole new level of npc's and story to level in.

I agree about the grey areas of Azeroth that have not been used yet, they are there for a reason, so why havn't they implemented them yet?!

I also like the idea of going into the Maelstrom, underwater cities to quest in with a huge city for raiding, that would be great!!!

I think we'll see the Maelstrom in the next expansion. There are Naga and Makura cities in there, they'll probably be the instances/raids.

I would argue that we've received new leveling zones with each expansion previously.

Draenei / Belf starting 2 zones offered rich new content.
Instanced DK zones from LK were the only reason my Death knight only made it to about level 60 before i gave up on it.

I think they should revamp the old zones... my idea is to shrink them... hear me out....

Double exp gains pre-level 60, then take every old world zone and increase it's difficulty and loot drop ilvl by say... 150% Then you just add new content to the top 25% of the zones like the plaugelands, hinterlands, etc. It would give people an alternative to the boring outlands for post 60 leveling.... make the old worlds some what interesting.... and speed up leveling of alts.
win win win

I agree with alot of the above but like i said bring in the emerald dream concept and make it a type of phased / portal thing so people could still revisit the "OLD" world to help out friends and such. But to open up the emrald dream phase of the OLD wolrd revamped in a green haze with new amazing content and high level monsters would be nice to see. The instances are there already it'd be an easy way to implement a revamped version of each of our favorite instances in the low level areas in the new improved phased areas with improved loot and harder monsters to fight. and i'm sure we all agree a 10 level increase ine level cap is for the birds. by implemnted this phased emeral dream area of the old world of "Azeroth" ( kalmidor, eastern kingdom, and northrend) would allow for a huge increase in the level cap by like 30 40 and maybe more 70 levels would be nice and with the amount of areas and content this would open up would make a 70 level increase in level cap easy. then maybe in a future major content patch open up the Maelstrom maybe mae itlie the 4th expansion. reason i say emerald dream first cuz it'd follow along with the whole dragon theme started with dragonblight an the event at the wrathgate.

first of all less then 24 hours in to the game expenchion thier has allready been an 80 acoulep of fools rushed though all teh content and in teh first week naxx was allrady beat so ya for tose people they got all teh content out of WOTLK in the first week cause they rushed iti am still exploring the wotlk content i like to take my time with it sacond of all unlike in the greek mythology the titans in this ame are teh good guys they created teh world of azeroth as well many of the other worlds and traveled between them to keep teh piece maybe the guardians they assighned went crazy like maly or death wing sargeras though no one really knows waht hapen to the titans i dont we wil be killing our creators i still think doing something with the mael storm will be the ovious choice since thier are so many goodies barried below

Do you think the Emerald Dream would make more sense because of the whole titan reference?

I can not guess about it at all. I think another hero class would be great. Some kind of caster class. I feel that is what will happen. With the new expansion there will be a new hero class with its own race to play. Ok so maybe not a new class for the hero class but it was a cool idea.
