Next Expansion " Mists of Pandoria"

[MiRai]

emerald dream is 90+ :P we got to have something to fill the new gap 85-90 (thats was not planned) rember a lot of work for exp is done years before.

The entire "plan" hasn't gone as planned. They have 2 more expansions coming out. The burning legion is last.

Also story line wise the emerald dream already happened, and there is almost no lore that can be done with it for raids/dungeons etc.

This was from the MMO-C thread. It was an older rough draft of the expansions of WoW and of course was not
posted directly nor confirmed by Blizzard.

There will be far more than two more expansions. WoW still has over 10 millions subs. MMOs that only have a few hundred thousand subs are still making expansions. As long as player are playing, they HAVE to make expansions. At some point they will have to have "alternative advancement", like many other games have done. Or some day you will have level 1000 players.

To further the story, the could easily bring out Warcraft4 and so on. Or just start making shit up. But there will be many many more expansions to come!

Are you sure they have over 10million I remember my friends played Cata at the start and now have quit due to the ease of the game...my friends list is dead no one comes on no more...40 friends gone and guilds vanishing..and bringing out cross realm instant queuing with friends is trying to bring people back if im not mistaken and 1 - 80 RAF also * Only reason I came back is to finish off what I started with it with the new RAF....I say they are losing more then what they are getting back. Just to add something when Cata did come out http://www.wolfsheadonline.com/?p=5663#79d19 Lost over 600,000 Subscribers Im not saying the game is crap now but as u can tell it is losing its respect every patch they bring out to make the game easier and easier, for instance my Pally hit 85 and after 2 days played full epic's 359+ gear I was shocked..Also in patch 4.3 they lost another 300,000 subscribers Linked here http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/...ets-Blue-Posts

Well its a hard line to follow, either you make the game simple to level up and people race through content like WoW and they quit cuase they finish to fast or you make it very hard to level up like EQ1 and people quit because it takes to much of a time commitment. Who can put in 40 hours a week playing a game now days?

I would think the best is to make it simple to level but have some very very hard raids (or in world mobs) that can only be beaten by the top 1 percent of the player base.

Or like suggested make it easy to level but hard and long to add in special AA's or whatever.

The MMO-C link you posted leads directly to this:

WoW Lost 600k Subscribers, down to 11.4M

Minus another 300K from 11.4 puts them at 11.1M.

Also in patch 4.3 they lost another 300,000 subscribers Linked here http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/...ets-Blue-Posts

4.3 hasn't even been released, you're misreading the news.

It does not matter if they have 10 million, my point is they will keep making expansions for many many years. If it didps below a few million, they might make expansions less. But until then they will keep making them...count on it!

[Multibocks]

I don't think they would slow down the expansions, maybe have less content... But expansion sales are easy money.

I say in a month I will have like 10 lvl 85 teams in 3 days I have 5 teams at 70 already. when u are bored and have 2 weeks out in the bush there's nothing better then to MB.lol....But its like this all I see is complaining about how easy to game is getting. I remember in BC took me a month to get my pvp gear now U can go in and lose all your games in arena and still get a dam far few points..I havent MB pve instances yet but will soon..and see if it any harder but doing them with my main toon its easy.. * Only reason why I multiboxed in WoW was to make the game harder for myself * If your mind is not stressing then you aint multitasking enuf!

I think the reason they only raised the cap by 5 levels was to increase the number of expansions they can have, and to make their content last a bit longer.

I hope we get another hero class, as that was their design choice from Wrath, alternating new races with new classes. I think it would be kinda cool if pandaren were a neutral race, with their own starting area at level 75 or something, and you make choices during your leveling process and at the end you pick a faction to join.
