With BlizzCon just around the corner, I am starting to see a lot of speculation and rumors about the next WoW expansion. There seems to be two main ones going around. First is "Wrath of the Lich King". There is a FAQ going around that was supposedly posted on the europe forums. WoW Insider has a nice blog post on this possible expansion. It will take place in Northrend and will supposedly allow a raid group to take on Arthas himself!!! Another major aspect of this expansion will be the introduction of the first hero class, the Death Knight. The other expansion rumor has to deal with the Maelstrom (the huge whirlpool in the center of the Azeroth World Map). However, this rumor is not at all fleshed out, so it doesn't seem to be true.
I think Northrend would make an amazing expansion. I loved playing the Warcraft RTS games and the lore introduced there. In my opinion, the cinematic sequences in the Warcraft games are still some of the best ever made for a computer game! It would really be fun to play in those locations as well. I am hopeful that Blizzard will introduce Hero Classes. I hope the hero class is one that your existing characters could access, rather than having to start a new character. How awesome would it be to have your Hunter turn into a Beastmaster! I know this would never happen, but if you could control two pets at the same time!!!
As to an expansion surrounding the Maelstrom, I guess it would deal with Queen Azshara and the Naga. I would assume it would have to be mostly underwater. I don't think I would like that at all. I hate fighting underwater in WoW. It is very cumbersome and stressful....lol. I guess if they improved gameplay underwater and allowed every class to have some water breathing ability it could be cool.
Anyway, I am anxiously awaiting BlizzCon and hoping for an official announcement!
