Itās three expacs long. Itās a whole story taking us all the way back to the Titans.
WOW - The War Within
WOW - Midnight
WOW - The Last Titan
Followed by World of Warcraft 2
I imagine

This was my first thought. Is this their way of ending it and starting over?

Honestly, I wish they would. I feel like with Microsoft resources behind them, they can afford to upgrade the engine and give the game a real boost.
Also more dorfs.

New allied raceā¦ Horde dorfs?
I didnāt hear Reps, but I heard banks and transmogs!
Rewind - SHE SAID REPS!!
ETA: Does this mean if a plate piece drops on my Rogue, I can send a soulbound piece to an alt???
Yeah, thatās where I wanted Dark Irons when they put them in as Allied Race. But Iāll take whatever they give me.
That was a little underwhelming for me, I have to say. Maybe it wouldāve hit better with so much lead-in, but meh.
Earthen? Thatās cool. Iām sure some people will be super hype, but even as an altoholic, I will never make one.
Hero Talents? I need to hear more. Could be cool, but I have no idea what that is actually supposed to look like it. Just cosmetic, or like class variants? Also that some classes have way bigger possibilities for that than others.
Warbands? I mean, awesomeā¦ but as excited as I am for that, it feels a little weird to sell me something based on removing arbitrary frustrations that shouldāve been gone ages ago.
I canāt help but feel like it needed at least another allied race to balance it out somehow and really hedge their bets, because that is a very specific kind of appeal that either hits or doesnāt. I canāt remember the last time that I even saw a Dark Iron dwarf in game.

Weāre already in World of Warcraft 2, itās just the same as Overwatch 2. Happened in the original game but itās basically a new game now

I donāt mean to be aggressive, and I can absolutely understand feeling like Blizz needs to offer more (especially to those of us whoāve been playing for 19 years or more, and especially after the past decade of middling-to-bad expansions), but, I mean, they did just announce the next 3 expansions.
Did you get the Horsemanās reins?
On paper, yes. But those other two expansions donāt really exist yet because we only have a three sentence summary of each oneās plot. Maybe Midnight will have some mind-blowing list of features like officially playable High Elves, Ogres, a new class, player housing, etc., you name it.
But that doesnāt make me any more excited to buy The War Within, and I donāt feel obligated to give them extra credit for just title-dropping ahead of schedule.
It doesnāt sound terrible, but just not really feeling any particular hype for it. Granted, maybe I wouldāve been slightly more excited if I hadnāt watched the whole conference which was 90% miserable for me.
Iāll make at least one Earthen for my big rogue collection 
I did not expect a triple expac announcement. I was a bit more hyped for Avaloren speculation just because I thought we might get a bard support spec given the explorer themes and stuffā¦ hopium is a hell of a drug, I guess.
Iām with Sairelle in that itās a lot of telling vs. showing right now.
Iām 50/50 on the cinematic ā beautifully done, and glad they didnāt give in to people complaining about WoW now being too much āpeople talking about feelingsā but also, itās more exciting when we see moreā¦ stuff? in the thing, I think.
Hoping the deep dive is deep enough.
Also, fall 2024 AND next patch is the last raidā¦ fated raids for DF, I guess?

I mean, Iāll play them. But Iām not super hyped. Iām happy for new lore. For dwarves. The features are ok, but not enough to make my adrenaline pump. And basically the player housing they seem determined not to give us is starting to make me salty. I feel like a lot of these changes are maybe going the path of least resistance. Thereās nothing that feels 20th anniversary here to me. That should be grandiose.
