How interesting (MMO-Champ leaks new expansion info)

Wonder how much of this is gonna turn out correct for the new expansion?
I guess we'll just have to see.
According to others though, the guy making the post, Boubouille hasn't been wrong before.

Link to Info from MMO-Champion

EDIT: Link to Official page

Most of that stuff is just things that people said would be in WotLK a couple years ago. It would be awesome, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was completely made up.

While he may not be wrong often, I wouldn't place any bets on the content released.

I, taking into consideration that everything posted is true, will be saving out the money to buy the next expansion. Not because of the new races or class/race combos, but because there won't be any new continent to "explore" and I'll only, regardless of the work involved, have to gain 5 levels to see all the content they do add in.

I have a serious problem with playing for long periods of time. In fact, I only just (a few months ago) got really serious into the end game WotLK content that was pushed live on release.

The level cap is BS, and they only other information that has any grounds for "duh" is the Azeroth revamp, that's been in talks since BC.

Edit: EFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, they gone and done it.

Playable worgen rumours have been "leaked" since before BC was formally announced. I'm half-surprised that I didn't see yet another Ashbringer rumour in there too Less than a week from Blizzcon at this point, so we'll all know more soon enough, I suppose. I'm having fun talking about the info with my guildmates, but it's all taken with a grain of salt until we hear it from the proverbial horse's mouth.

If the Worgen information is correct, as written in the article, it looks like a Druid alternative for other classes in respect to shape shifting. Very intriguing indeed. I just wonder if I'd still be playing WoW if this (alleged) xpac came before Wrath (I suspect I'd be logged in right now if it had been). I just wonder what the flavor (class) of the month will be first... I'm sure the nerf bat will be swinging swiftly in the name of PvP for this (originally) PvE designed world.

Meh, enough of my griping. The content of the article actually looks pretty good... if it's true.

One of Boubouille's sources is the "Something Awful" forum. Hmm. Not reliable if you ask me

It's a really bold move, making a post like that without any official sources.

Suppose we'll all get to know for sure what the next expansion has to bring coming weekend, during BlizzCon.

Doesn't get any better by how it's not exactly flagging itself as speculation, and there are people who'll believe all they find on mmo-champion without a second thought for themselves.

I seriously want to watch the release for once. :3. I missed the BC release, due to me not playing yet. I missed WotLK release because I was in the hospital for an open heart surgery.

I cannot wait to see a Thousand Needles to become a Thousand Isles o.o

Someone important needs to step in and halt progress on this "expansion". That person also needs to inform the lunatics developing the game that recolored mounts, reworked old instance bosses, and new vanity pets do not equal an expansion. Mixing up races and classes is a sure sign the development is at wit's end, and has possibly been there for some time. Worgen? Goblins? Who cares? Reworking existing content is not any type of addition. Am I the only one that sees it this way? Azeroth should be (have been) finished long ago and the rest of this crap is just new ways of not really taking the game anywhere new. The "finishes" to Azeroth is just one aspect that has always made this game feel like a paid beta imo. Onyxia was fun the first time through in vanilla wow. I honestly don't care to have that be the new hot instance, then again I'm one who has yet to set foot in this Trial of the Champion nonsense. I remember the Argent tourney area before when it was called Isle of Quel'Danas.

I don't mean to sound negative but I get sick of recycled junk being passed off as new. I don't even know what this game is about anymore. It sure isn't the one that I've been playing for 4 years.

The changes are great to some degree. Some of the changes sound horrid. But all in all, watching blizzcon and I think ultimately they are heading in a productive direction with it. Only 5 levels because they want to leave room for more expansions before 100 since they plan to stop the leveling there. goblins and worgen were easy to fit into the story line. although i think werewolves should have been a horde race... oh well right? The goblins are cool, some awesome mounts they have.

BTW surprised no one has mentioned the fact that our toons are being totally revamped as well? no more spell power! or attack power? OMG? hunters no longer have mana??? Warlocks shards are not in the bag anymore?? Ammo wont be a consumable?!?! OMG

One of my big questions is are they going to give us another char slot? since technically the hardcore gamers are going to have all 10 char slots used up.

Hopefully ill get the answer during the rest of blizzcon.

Republic, I think it's time for a new game for you.

It's not just a "re-done" Azeroth. Entire zones are re-done. Look at Western Plaguelands for example. It is now a 35-40 zone. Many areas where Horde or Alliance had a base might not have it there. Or, it has been modified. Look at Zoramgar Outpost for example. It now is a real "town" with fortification and things: http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/...wpanel_061.jpg

Overall, viewing all the new zones and re-done ones, I think it will be a good expansion and it makes me want to level new characters again.

I agree. With the changes to the zones, the new quests, the new terrain, etc, etc, leveling will be new, fun, and exciting again.

This isn't just reworked/reskinned content here. This is also stuff that they've been meaning to put in all along, but have been waiting for the right time. And I'm looking forward to it.

tbh this is probably the first expansion announcement for WoW where I don't have any qualms with any of the changes they are making. Finally Blizzard are addressing one of my major issues with MMO's in two interesting ways, phasing and just drastically changing old previously static (and often deserted) content. The simplification of stats imo is much needed as well, theorycrafting isn't fun! Theres just a lot of things to be excited about with this expansion and it can't come soon enough.

P.S. Blizz is definitely refocussing this game towards gameplay, and for the better me thinks.

P.P.S I wonder if they're going to change the original WoWs racials, as the goblins/worgens ones seem pretty imba.

Nope, I still have 1 slot left .. erm .. I think

Although 3 are under 15

I just hope they convert the gems properly .. rofl .. I changed all my spirit for mana regen and my main has all mana regen gems for her healing. Would be bad if they all got converted to stam instead of intellect .. rofl or spirit. If they exist.
