Also, the next expansion is inferred to be a level cap of 100 due to the heirloom items dropping off Garrosh.
I thought that's how we got to Deepholm.

i really disliked Vash'jir, the concept was good but it transformed in a pretty boring zone.
Anyone remember that WoW expansion pack leaked listing a long time ago about what each expansion would be based around? Its been right so far.. and with this it looks like its right on track to be about the twisting nether and sargeras / burning legion.

LOTS O TEXT
People on GAF saying "The Dark Below" makes no sense....
*cough* Mists of Pandaria *cough*
That stopped being right the second Cata was announced.
The name would have made sense way before MoP even existed as well.
At this point people will hate on blizzard for anything really. And I can definitely understand why people hate blizzard these days. But this tittle would make perfect sense for a wow expansion based on one or more old gods.
This expac would redeem Blizzard for me if it was about the Old God under Tirisfal. Could involve Tirion and Sylvanas story arc with the return of Turalyon.

It would certainly be more excitting than MoP, which outside of the raids and frequency of content patches was the worst expansion ever as far as I'm concerned.
I really want to hear about a D3 expansion and see if Blizzard can completely change itemization/stats around for the game. An expansion is the perfect time to do it.

Wasn't that covered in the maelstrom set?
I wonder what the final level cap will be when the game finally stops receiving support. 100+++? what does that even mean....
Do not even pretend that the change to talent trees has somehow improved the game, the end result is exactly the same as it was back then: cookie cutter builds still exist, they always will exist. And its not a bad thing, people who want to seriously raid or seriously PvP want to optimize, so let them? Why was this ever a issue to begin with?
So what was lost? The little customization the game had,
you had 1 talent point to look forward to every time you leveled, and you could put your talents anywhere as you leveled, since it was easy and did not require the optimal build.
Now you make 6 choices from level 1 to 90, nothing was gained from this overhaul, and some part of the game were even lost. So really, they screwed around with something that was not broken in the first place, waste of their own resources.
D2 has vastly more builds with talent trees than D3 has with a similar "Pick 6 abilities you like, EXCITE!" type system, people still find optimal cookie cutter builds no matter what system you have in place.
At the end of the day, they took out what little customization the player had, add in the increased homogenization with the classes and the game feels smaller in scope, despite having more content, there is less identity amongst players and their characters than ever before. The only real difference between my Mage and your Mage might be the gear, *might* because if we both do the same thing, we likely have very very very similar characters
But whatever, they wont change it back, since that would require even more work and the end result, like i said, would still be the same. Still sucks, there might be a better system out there, but what they did with WoW and D3 is not better than the talent trees they had in old WoW and D2.

That's what frustrates me about Blizzard. They have so many story arcs that have been ongoing for over a decade and yet they just add completely new and irrelevant lore with MoP. The Horde/Alliance war means nothing if your just fighting over new places that hold no meaning or value to you or the story.
Take back Lordaeron!!!
If that's true for WoW lore and it still turns out to be the title of the Diablo III expansion, that would be some of the most legendary trolling of a fan base of all time.
Time to put the lorelol cap on- I would have thought blizz would save the final Burning Legion confrontation for an Argus expansion? I could see this being the lead in expansion with a focus on a final showdown with both Azshara and the old gods, who have ties together, beneath Azeroth. Killing off all the old gods threatens the stability of the planet per established lore and, boom the titans step in to hold everything together in exchange for Azeroth's heroes going to Argus and dealing with the Legion once and for all. Ending the legion and moving to Argus after Azeroth's collapse would be a perfect finale and reset point for any future Warcraft properties they wished to do after the mmo.

There are quite a few things off with some of the later ones so this has gotten less accurate over time.

spec wall of text
Given the nature of how content has progressed through Cataclysm and Pandaria, I'm not sure if I'd come back for the expansion. I'm kinda waiting to see if Flex Raids are the final nail in the coffin to traditional raiding.
That said, this is interesting. "The Dark Below" is more or less what Hell was described like in the original Warcraft....

Sounds like a fun place to be for a warlock.
When they resolve this thing with Sylvanas, I hope they go the corrupted by the Old God under Tirisfal route instead of her becoming the Lich Queen.
I'm still waiting for the underground Nerubian zone I was promised in WotLK at Blizzcon 07.

I'm not sure what the difference would be. Lich Queen or corruption, she will never be "good" again. Whatever she becomes, I hope its because she wills it to be so, and not because of an outside force.
