Next Expansion Guess

So when they mentioned mounts would start swimming with 3.1 at Blizzcon, it made me think that they were doing that to get a grip on how to handle aquatic mounts. If you did a Maelstrom expansion, you'd likely need aquatic mounts. Now they are adding "Aquatic Riding Ray - Summons and dismisses an Aquatic Riding Ray. This is an aquatic mount." with the 3.1 PTR. It's never a sure thing, but with the next expansion likely to be announced in August at Blizzcon, this is making me lean toward Maelstrom and Undermine. There is also a new NPC in southern Tanaris by Ulduam (sp?) which could be an entrance to Undermine. Personally I was hoping phasing would mean Emerald Dream would be a strong possibility, but who knows.

Anyone else have conspiricy theories?

I hope the next expansion involves lots of vehicles and collection quests. OH! Maybe collecting while ON a vehicle, like Tonka trucks and cranes; that would be uber. Add the achievement title, " the Builder". Then we could have Bob the Builders to go with the Dora the Explorers.

(need more coffee)

The title I really want to see them add is the "Souca the Entitled". You would get it by earning 25 titles.

Next expansion will most likely have Onyxia's and Neffarions father as the main bad guy.

Ah, good ole Deathwing, aka Neltharion. I wonder about the dragons as a whole. So Malygos is insane, and while I haven't fought him, I assume he is effectively gone now. Yssera the green aspect is getting a little iffy since she seems to be getting corrupted by whatever is wrong in the Emerald Dream. Nozurdomu might actually be the leader of the Infinite Dragonflight based on a quest you do for Chromie to find the bad guy. That leaves Deathwing and Alexstraza. Deathwing is obviously a bad guy, despite his origin. Could the Red Queen become corupted as well? Or will she sacrifice herself to end the influence of dragons on Azeroth.

I found it interesting that there are 5 portals underneath Wyrmrest Temple, almost as if there will be a raid for each dragonflight. A while back when Wrath was still in beat, Ghostcrawler made a post stating that some changes they were making to druid tanks were being done so that they wouldn't be the best dragon tanks in the game. While there are three raid bosses that are dragons, it made me wonder if more of the raids in Wrath wouldn't be about the aspects than Arthas. This is all wild speculation, but how much of the final raid content will be about Arthas? Is Wrath really about the dragons and Arthas is just there to get people up north?

This stuff gets me excited. There is so much they can do with lore and after BC I think they are really trying to keep things more in line with story than they had.

The new zone is a wormhole into the starcarft world and we all have to start raiding against zerg and protoss instances.
