There's already a server called Maelstrom (and Emerald Dream too). Having a test server called that as well doesn't mean it's a look at the next expansion, it could just mean they name their test servers like they do their live servers. I know it's all speculation, just throwing out more to think about. Sorry for the double post, but I just thought of something else. There’s already a server called Maelstrom (and Emerald Dream too).

Granted, I'm not 100% sure what the Maelstorm is but from what little I know I think it could sustain a whole expansion. But the Emerald Dream doesn't seem like you could get a whole expansion from it without using the same devices over and over again. The Emerald Dream seems more like it'll be an instance than an expansion, leaning on the fact that it's not good to stay too long in the Dream. The other thing I could see Blizzard doing is having the Emerald Dream be a phase thing during multiple instances or events. What I mean by that is you have to accomplish something in the Emerald Dream to overcome something in the Real World. . .typing that out makes me think of the Twilight Portals we see in OS.
