New games are coming out that use better graphical rendering engines. So far WoW has the best developed content but with every year passing by wow feels less flashy until it will reach a boiling point. If we compare wow to new games then wow feels like watching Simpsons compared to Avatar. Blizzard will not rebuild entire game just for better rendering because it is not worth $$.

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 07:19:41 +0000 http://www.loregy.com/world-of-warcraft/future-expansions/#comment-1126 There was an official report that Azshara would NOT be in cataclysm, which means the next expansion will more then likely have her. Pandaren still havent shown themselves in WoW so I expect there will be an expansion where something goes wrong on there little island and maybe have a new enemy there. Malfurion will be returning in Cataclysm, so I doubt there will be an expansion just for the emerald dream. *SPOILER!!!!* Bolvar Fordragon, the new Lich King, I believe will get corrupted and we will see another Rise of the king. What ever happened to Med'an, Medivh's son. He is a few places in lore, but with all that power why isent he something yet? Jaina proudmoore and Thrall should get together....whatever comes of it, comes of it, with Garosh going to lead the orcs, it may bring thrall a position as a messenger between the factions on neutral terms. Varian Wrynn needs to die, I dont have anything against the alliance, but he is an ASS! Make it where in his last breath he apologizes to Thrall for his behavior. Anduin Wrynn would take over the kingdom, and maybe make a small peace with the horde before something big split them up again. (Yes I know Varian actually has good reason to hate the horde, loosing his father to Garona, and a comrade, Anduin Lothar, to Ogrim Doomhammer. But still, even all that dosent give him the right to hate an entire race! They were at WAR) Tauren NEED something big, I mean theres no HUGE parts of history with them in it...Night elves have Illidan, Humans got Arthas, Gnomes have Gnomereggan, Dwarves have quite a few steps in history , draenei have the fall of drenor, Orc's have ALOT, Blood Elves have Prince Kael'thas, Undead have Grand Apothecary Putress and the fact they walk, Trolls have the fall of Zul'aman, but what do Tauren have thats significant? Smite....I mean really. Rumors have it that instead of a WC4 There will be a movie comming next year that takes place 1 year before WoW started...maybe a boss will be in it that will come back in the next expansion. Dont forget about the books either! Readers beware, you might get a look into whats coming next within the book series. Any boss introduced in the series is a potential expansion :P HELL, Illidan might come back and take down Icecrown, to destroy Bolvar Fordragon and actually have HIM as the new lich...imagine, Illidan and the lich kings power combined. Illidan isent dead, so its possible...its even posible that to kill Deathwing, the aspects make another Dragon soul and illidan gets it as well, becoming as mighty as the titans themselves lol. That would be an Interesting turn around, maybe he would finally kill his brother, Malfurion should die for treating his own bro like that, locking him away for 10,000 years just because he erred wanting the night elven magic back, I mean WTH! Malfurion would be dead of old age if it wasent for him, and how does he repay him....EXILE! anyway, just some thoughts, you never know, we could be looking at ANOTHER return of Medivh. Where he preaches that some dredlord has become to powerful or something. Thats all, im not arguing with anyone (Cept those that think Illidan deserved his fate) just my thoughts on the subject.

Jaina proudmoore and Thrall should get together….whatever comes of it, comes of it, with Garosh going to lead the orcs, it may bring thrall a position as a messenger between the factions on neutral terms.

Also idk when and I'm 80% it wont exist but what you think about Illidan's revenge? He could maybe kill a lich king or Kil'Jaeden since he cursed him to make him blind! Maybe Sargeras.. Like Grom did to Mannaroth.. IT WOULD BE OSSOM atleast if its not an expansion I want a video :D Ok, I won’t put random day of releasing but here’s what I think:

The Old Gods, Sargeras, Malfurion makes his return, kill Deathwing, Fix all the problems between the dragonflights." I have many ideas, Mally could be ressurected by Alexstraza and taught the ways of how they used to live. They could use COT as CootieB has said and use it for arthas' corruption, Arthas' journey for frostmourn, Deathwings corruption, Illidan's corruption the Sunwell. Then ofcourse we have the Titan planets. We have the destruction of the naga. We have PVP aswell. Back to CoT, Moving Dalaran - Protecting Dalaran's movement untill they get Dalaran through a portal to Northerend. Then theres maps and many quest lines, I saw an extra island on a box in Shattrath with a map on it, I couldn't read it properly but it looked like Southerend. Theres also a possibility for an entire non-stop PVP BG where you can leave when you like, stack loads of Honor for thy PVP junkie. I have many more Ideas but am too tired to think right now, everyone else, Good ideas! I liked most of them but some did sound rather Farfetched. I enjoy reading replies to this :) I do not see an end to WoW at all in the near future, to the simple WoW players mind it may seem that Blizzard has boxed themselve’s in with law, e.g – “Were almost up to killing Arthas, Whats next then?

Blizzard has some of the most creative minds in the gaming industry. I am not worried about the "End game" at this time, as I do not feel it is anytime soon, and I am sure more books, and expansions will come out between now and then and will keep the game going. I would even not be surprised to see the COT being used more and more for newer things, it certainly has potential.

Specifically, where in the universe is it? I'm still relatively new to Warcraft.

They currently abandoned the area, and it is only visited by passing by travelers, and never inspected too much. This leaves a lot of room for a sort of hybrid race to appear that stayed back when it was abandoned so long ago. Also there is a fairly large zone that is unreleased, Hyjal. I'm not too into lore stuff so I am not sure how this would work in, but it looks like it would work really well. They are not too far from horde and alliance 10-20 zones. If they do not start you at level 1, then I wouldn't be surprised to see Hyjal turn into a 30-40 or 40-50 zone and have it be like a DK start area where its just "hey lets get you used to your race and kick you out."

That's in the universe. The speculation kicks in regarding whether or not Metzen and crew will actually pull the trigger, or completely forget about all this setup they went through the trouble of establishing.
