The epic edition gives you 3 days early access to the expac⌠that feels new for WoW.
I didnât. So I guess now itâs sixteen years and then itâll be seventeen and eighteen and eventually the servers will shut down and it will have still never dropped. And just to rub salt in the wound the last run on my last character before the event ended, it dropped for someone else.
I donât even plan on using the mount if it does ever drop, itâs too low res now. But I just want it because at this point itâs the principle of the damn thing.

Iâm just excited to know theyâve actually got a plan this time. As opposed to the BS that was Death Thanos
Iâm more hyped than I was for DF. Midnight in particular intrigues me, Iâm a big Thalassian fan. My mind isnât blown, but I find myself intrigued. Thatâs a good sign at least
Also it was nice to see Metzen back on stage again. That was a nostalgia hit

Can I get a recap of everything thatâs been announced so far? Iâve been at work all day and the stream was just a Rumble commercial that I had no interest in.
Felt like Azeroth calling out was a bit of FFXIV vibes, not in a bad way, and a bit of Dune music influence when they look at the sword.
I think a lot of us would have liked it if Anduin stabbed thrall but you canât win 'em all.
Somebody give Anduin a hug already.

They are doing a âsagaâ of three expansions that will release faster than normal, but no specifics on how fast that might be.
The first one is âThe War Withinâ, about some mystery going on underground that involves the big dumb sword in Silithus and Azerothâs world soul. Playable Earthen dwarves, âdelvesâ (Niffin treasureseeking scenarios on steroids, I presume), some Nerubian storyline, âHero Talentsâ that flavor your class in some special way, and âwarbandsâ which will unite a bunch of things for your alts for account-wide progression (banks, renown, reputation).
After that is âMidnightâ, which is about Quelâthalas, elves, and Light vs. Void.
The final expansion is âThe Last Titanâ, which will focus on going back to Northrend and Ulduar.
Kidâs being a bit melodramatic tbh. Like what did he do? Mostly he went blue and followed Mr Death Nipples around some weird death realms.
Come to think of it, being forced to hang around WoWâs lamest villain for an extended period of time is probably traumatic in and of itself.
Roll down for the WoW stuff:
TL:DR, basically got the Forsaken treatment.
Got shoved into the back of his own mind and got to watch, fully conscious, as his body was puppeted to attack the people he cared about and nearly end all of creation itself.
Interesting to note that shalamayne no longer has the glow to it. Anduin no longer can call upon the Light because heâs lost faith in everything. It is one of those rare moments in WoW where that heroic scene of Anduin walking into the Maw to try and find himself again failed and the person we meet now is so completely broken that theyâre back to square 1 and canât seem to move forwards again.
I swear to Grubbins, I better get to give Anduin all of the hugs. He looks like he needs it. Literally everything he has done has resulted in either atrocities committed by those who took advantage of his altruism or being blamed for not being hawkish enough to âendâ the war, despite the fact that would end in even more atrocities.

Oh I know. Iâm being a bit facetious tbh. In all seriousness Iâm keen to see how they bring him back and help him reconcile his brutal forced identity change
Iâm growing cynical in my old age haha

I know, its one of the things that comes up in therapy.
There are times to bludgeon that little voice back down into its crevasse and other times to listen to it. Its learning when that is the hardest part.
I am honestly not sure how to feel about this. That said, if it leans to the Fogsail Pirates officially joining the Horde as well, letâsa go.
Announcing a long term âarcâ is different, but⌠the first part of this arc seems very content-sparse. Like hell yeah I wanna get some kinda Quelâthalas revamp but that is not coming in this expansion, so it is just an announcement of intent which we might see two or three years from now?
Maybe they will announce more for the first part of this trilogy over the weekend, but ânew zones and dwarf reskinâ is not a lot. I like dwarves and all but câmon, BfA didnât announce âdark iron dwarves and nothing elseâ as a big new feature.
Though it is true that some really cool customizations like Eredar have come just as patches so I donât really mind if there are more allied races and stuff added slowly rather than as expansion-specific content. But idk if that is a plan, so this particular announcement didnât appear to have a lot.
The âwarbandsâ idea is what Iâm most interested in hearing more about. If it is just account-wide rep that is great on its own, but they showed a little camp with (presumably) your alts hanging out together, so if this went beyond just making something account wide and allowed me to manage a little settlement of alts or otherwise change up how we interact with alts thatâd be really cool.

My first reaction to a âthree expansion arcâ is âI hope itâs not like Starcraft 2 where the start is good and then it just declines in qualityâ the next two.
It will probably be more like Destiny, where kind of okay content grinds will be punctuated by cool cinematic moments that involve everyone but you. And also will just decline in quality.

I am excited for the traditional Q&A ritual where someone asks about player housing and they say how neat and how wanted player housing would be and how theyâre not doing it
