The future of WoW

[punwisp]

I don't think there will be any more expansions to WoW, I think more they will focus on WoW 2, Diablo 3, or whatever. I think they will just continue launch major patches until Wotlk will die out.

in a sense that sound a bit contradicting to me.

What is the damn difference between making a WoW Expansion and making WoW 2? Theres really none, they won't make a WoW 2 for a VERY long time, because it would be too pointless, Remaking Everything of wow just to add another story to it... Think about it, its doing the exact same thing WoW 2=Expansion, Same thing only WoW 2 would require alot more work because of redesigning everything.

Anyway they need to focus on Diablo 3, Not another WoW, or warcraft, or even a starcraft, they only have 3 franchises, Diablo, warcraft, starcraft. Unless they create another franchise they need to focus on Diablo 3 now(Not a mmorpg..)

I'm hoping project hydra will be a new franchise, something like a 3ps or fps would be cool to see from Blizzard.

But they will milking WoW like the cash cow it is, until there's nothing more they can pull out of it.

WoW 2 =/= WoW Expansion.

WoW Expansions just add more stuff to WoW 1.

WoW 2 would be the original, but with better graphics and better systems.

I'd like to see a link to the post about their not being any more WoW expansions after Wrath. I am pretty up to date on my WoW news and haven't seen anything like this, it just doesn't make sense to me. Not only would they make a great deal of money out of keeping the game going, they would lose money if they announced that they are cutting it off right now.

What I'd like to see is a lot of varied stuff from all over Azeroth. The Maelstrom and surrounding islands, the Emerald Dream, Grim Batol, behind the greymane wall, and of course the caverns of time and the infinite dragon flight.

There is plenty of lore in the game that hasn't had a conclusion yet, any of these individual things might not be enough to warrant an expansion on it's own but there is definately the content out there to add, and people would play it.

Not to mention of course the ability to add pretty much whatever they want.

I think Emerald Dream is most likely.

Ok, for some reason I can't edit my post >.<

Another thing I'd add to my list above is Undermine, the goblin capital. And also of course, everyone's favourite, Pandaria!!

As for a WoW 2, I really don't see this coming out until possibly a Warcraft 4. If it did come out, I would expect a lot to have changed in the storyline, and I'd like to see the game re-designed from the ground up, using all the stuff they learnt about making the current WoW. Add to that of course better graphics and the like.

Sargeras is dead. The night elves looted his tomb. Illidan got one of Sargeras's eyes. Even if he is alive, and then blizzard decides to make a game devoted to killing him, that just makes WoW lose even more respect in my eyes, seeing as how Sargeras is hyped up to sound like a god and all.

 

[UberNoober]

Yeah I really wouldn't want to see Sargereas in WoW. Something like Azshara would be cool though, perhaps a full form of one of the old gods like C'thun or Deathwing would also make pretty cool bosses. It's getting to the stage where each max-level character in WoW is becoming a hero in their own right, so it's only fair to pitt them against some pretty epic bosses and they can always put in ways of evening out the playing field (Kil'jaedin still being summoned into the world when he is fought, and you also get help from a blue dragon during the fight I believe).

all I can say is that the final boss will be an Orc Blademaster.

WW- lvl 6000 invisibility, breaks for 600000 hp.
Crit Strike: 50% to do 3000x damage
Mirror image: 12 images that have 50% hp and does 75% of the bm's damage
Bladestorm: AoE for 12000 damage per second.

Jesus christ! If he is that powerful he could have destroyed the world by now.

What the hell, lol. Thats not true, although Blademaster will be a playable hero class eventually.

It's not true, but everyone knows that Orc BMs are op... they may as well destroy the world. Think about it... You fight Sargeras, and then an orc BM comes out of no where and insta kills the game. Then they can make a new WoW to make more monies! Convenient and also good business sense!
