Another Xpac, so soon?

If we (the population of WoW) have to wait till next year for the next content patch (3.3, Icecrown - which the CMs have mentioned is the last content patch) im sure theres going to be a lot of unhappy people. Were going through content so much quicker then we used to back in the old days.

I'm fairly certain a next year 3.3 isnt going to happen, probably this year around christmas maybe. Since they have said the next expansion happens while were in Northend (and 3.3 is the last content Patch) this would put the start of beta sometime around early next year (feb or march) which would tide people over till release sometime mid 2010. They can't hold this thing out too long....not enough for people to do heh.

Beta won't be out any where near that early. They don't have 7 zones to revamp, they have all of them minus Outlands. I wished I'd asked about this in a panel, but shouldn't Northrend also be affected by the Cataclysm as it is part of Azeroth.

ToC is a joke, wtb Icecrown Citadel. I really, REALLY hope Anub'arak is harder than a /faceroll. And our guild isn't even hardcore raiders.

A PvP "boss encounter" screams "oh shit we're out of ideas quick make them all pvp!"

That makes sense from a logical in-game perspective, but I doubt Blizzard wants to mess with Northrend so soon. I do wonder if they'll do this to Northrend for a future expansion ("You thought you'd taken care of Deathwing, but you forgot... THE BACK ENTRANCE!" ...okay, maybe the wording needs a bit of work...). Or even do something weird with Outland. Once you get the itch to revamp old content... where do you stop? *cue ominous music*
