With their talk of the "trilogy" of major quest updates to WotLK, I expect 3.2 to be part 3, the big Arthas patch, with the headline raid being that of the Frozen Throne itself.

For the next expansion, I also expect it to be the rumored Maelstrom expansion. That or the oft-rumored Emerald Dream expansion, though I don't know how they'd handle that for all the non-druids.

I think if they wanna go with the Titans lore, Uldum is up for 3.2. It's about time they told us what exactly excaped from there, and we know it's something really really good, or really really bad. It could have to do with the origins of the Titans, mainly the ones we have been dealing with in Storm Peaks. That's just my guess.

Next expansion, I heard something about people waiting for the Emerald Dream/Nightmare, but that's really the extent of my Warcraft lore beyond what they've already released.

Kirin Tor magic, Crystalsong Forest, The Silver Covenant for alliance and those other guys for the Horde. I'm sure they can do something with that.

EDIT: With respect to 3.2 being Arthas, I think their original goal was to do that as 3.3 to go along with them wanting people to see more content. Ideally, giving everyone a leg up to see Naxx right away, ICC (Icecrown Citadel) would be equivalent to SWP for what's left. We're dealing with with "Mag/Kara" right now in Naxx, and Ulduar is like the SSC/TK. Meaning either Arthas is part of the BT/MH, or the final event. I'm hoping he's the final event since I found the Kil'jaeden thing a little anti-climatic in TBC.

Yeah I believe Arthas will be the final boss of Wrath.

3.2: I'll say a Dragon-oriented instance in Wetlands or Hinterlands.

Next expansion: Maelstrom, although I hate the idea. I hate the idea of Emerald Dream, too.

I don't hate either expansion idea, but what I'd personally rather see is whatever continent is over on the other side of the world where the Pandaren come from.

3.2 will be when they nerf [fill in the name of the class you are currently playing here]

How many of you will stick around for a *third* expansion?

I'll probably be playing WoW until they don't release expansions anymore. Even if it gets to where the guild dies and I'm just subbing up to play through new expansion content and then letting my sub lapse for a while.

There ARE rumors about turning Azjol'nerub into a full fledged raid, although those may partially be spurred by the fact fans are mad a lore figure as important as A'Nuba'Rak (murdered the spelling) was reduced to a 5 man encounter.

That aside, I love your idea, sir, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I'd like to see a release with a few more "open world" encounters, like the green dragons of Azeroth, or DOom Lord Kazzak.

Yeah, alot of the stuff Blizzard did definitely made up for this one little oversight. Hopefully the rumors are true though and we could be looking at a "Kingdom of Anub'Arak" raid. Considering they have some neutral NPCs already out front, it's possible this could be a new faction as well. Since Nerubians are undead, there's no reason to suspect that Anub'Arak is actually gone for good

My guess is that he underestimated the Alliance/Horde and left himself unprepared. Now he's resurrecting in the depths of his Kingdom and preparing to show his true power. Most undead lore has a source of power in a phylactory, Frostmourne or other, and I don't remember destroying anything like that just yet.

Archdruid has been said to be one of the "ideas" for a hero class, and it's mentioned a helluva lot more than things like demon hunter or mountain king.

Dude l2p WC3.

Mountain Kings were awesome.

Paladin dual wielding? I might be able to get behind that.

If they do the Emerald Dream, it could be amazing. Dream worlds are infinitely malleable, and they could have fun with phasing. You could have zones that changed character based on events in the 'real world' (as much as you can use that phrase with WoW, anyway), or could be adventuring through individual dreamers' memories or nightmares. And you could, potentially, zone in through any sleeping character in the main world.

Outland would have made a LOT more sense as a dream world.

An Emerald Dream expansion could also really suck, if they don't handle it well.

New name for druids in the Emerald Dream: "Tour Guides".

I really hope that "arch druid" isn't the new hero class. I'll accept that it'll likely be a dps/healer that can either DPS or heal in any of its three trees, but arch druid just seems lame.

That said I can't think of anything based in lore that'd be okay. dryad, maybe.

Personally I hope they have something in the form of a demon hunter from warcraft 3 as the next hero class.

That's a tall order...but one I fully endorse because naval combat, if done right, would be amazing.
