fake wow expansion leaks have been a thing since vanilla wow. the same thing goes towards new patchs in each expansion. lets talk about all the fake leaks that we have seen around this time in each expansion, and how much actually was true and what wasnt.

I donât think Iâve ever seen a leak that was true except for the name.
And the ones that got partial things right were just educated guesses.

I guess you havenât been too attentive towards these things, considering we got a 110% confirmed Warlords of Draenor leak (the extra 10% is because it included things that never made it into the game but we know they definitely planned to include, like Shatt Raid and Farahlon). Most of these expansions have had leaks happen, its only been a matter of timing and scale.

You mean the leak that mentioned how the Arakkoa will be a major part of the xpac, and will have a capital city, which will be a new zone, how Faralon will be a new zone, etc.
Cause that leak was filled with a ton of falsities.
It got some things right, but they were educated guesses from already known things.

some of it doesnt really line up with the lore some of it is lore wise impossible because of the events in the past expansion but id love to see the dragon isles. back before nyalotha there was a leak that said we were gonna go to the shadowlands and that one of the zones in it was nyalotha it was intresting
Itâs insane to me that there are threads â right now! â with people mad about things that donât even exist and that have been entirely made up.

What are you talking about?
No one just âeducated guessesâ an expansion about Garrosh going into the past to team up with his father to forge an Iron Horde and correctly guesses all of the content + content we know with 100% certainty was in fact planned but didnât make the cut before War Crimes.
Bro, WE KNOW SHATT WAS PLANNED AS A RAID. WE KNOW FARAHLON WAS PLANNED. That leak is 100% real. Real and true and true and real.
Lol. What even is your post?

Someone created an excel spreadsheet that logged most (if not all?) of the common leaks and which ones were actually accurate.
No new class or races.
All of this is pre demon blood so no humans with the draenei being the main Alliance force. Garrosh goes back in time and stops his father from drinking the demons blood and Gulâdan is banished. He brings technology from the current time to reinforce the Horde. Nerâzhul uses this and rises to power once more to try and gain Garroshâs trust in theâŚIron Horde. The Iron Horde forbids demon magic but itâs pretty likely Gulâdan may end up summoning the Legion still even on his own. We get there via the Timewalkers.
I dunno how exactly Garrosh gets to the past yet. But his escape is explained in a upcoming short story with the start being his trial. Garrosh says he regrets nothing while laughing crazily but Anduin still believes he can be redeemed. Baine wants to personally execute Garrosh and Jaina is still her raging self. Eventually it comes to that scene we see in that Timeless Isle quest with Anduin talking to Garrosh. I dunno the rest of the story yet but itâs likely Anduin and Zaela help Garrosh escape.
5.5 was to be 2 scenarioâs showing Garroshâs escape but since they are short on time 5.5 was scrapped for the above story with maybe parts ending up in 6.0. It was also to tie into the Timeless Isle. The ORIGINAL story for the expansion was that Garrosh was banished to Outland but managed to get a artifact of Nozdormu. He used the artifact to summon the great heroes of the Horde and then âre makesâ Draenor with the artifact pulling in new landmasses that just tears things up more. This was later scrapped for time travel.
The Alliance start in Shadowmoon and their capital is Karabor which is similar to Terokkar now. Karabor looks like how it does in the TBC trailer with Akama but brighter. The Horde starting zone is a new zone west of Bladeâs Edge in the Frost Wolf Homelands where their capital is a captured Ogre stronghold city. The zone itself is a tundra.
Netherstorm is Faralon but will be released in a future patch.
Hellfire is a jungle where Garrosh is constructing the Dark Portal so he can invade Azeroth and âmake things rightâ. Zangar is a sea full of giant mushrooms.
Shattrath is taken over by the Iron Horde and is a raid along with Auchindoun being a dungeon/raid. The other raids are The Blackrock Clan Citadel and a Ogre Stronghold.
The first dungeon is in the Horde starting zone and is a Ogre Dungeon Cave where we rescue slaves.
The zone south of Terrokkar is the capital of the Arrakoa and is where their palace is located. Itâs like Terokkar but has a LOT more tree houses and flying Arrakoa. Maybe they end up doing something with their Old God.
Thereâs some new tiger race as well but no details.
The Iron Horde has dominated the Gronn and uses them as giant siege mounts similar to the mammoths in LotR.
The âWarlordsâ are all the chieftains of the old Horde with Durotan being the only good guy. Some of the main heroes of the expansion are Velen (dunno if its Velen meeting himself or just past Velen), Maarad, Volâjin, Thrall, Durotan, and some dwarf and tauren.
Thereâs a continent southwest of Draenor which is the homeland of the Ogres.
You lose.
This is 100% real and true.

Wodâs Leak was defintley spot on, had they not changed the story, which I believe is exactly what happened to SL and likely BFA.

Far more correct so far than any other leak. Like the one over SL where we would have droves of dead forming in SW boarding boats?
The exception to this is wotlk it was fully leaked, the dk class, zones, raids everything. They even addressed this fact at blizzcon that everyone already knew about the expansion reveal.

I say, wait until Blizzard actually announces the expansion, because everything else is pretty much a lie or canât be confirmed.
Iâm not sure if it was actually a leak or someoneâs idea but there was one posted on mmochampion that was directly close with BfA. Had a different name of course but a lot of things were there (kultiras/zandalar, plunder isles which are expeditions,underwater content, as well as a goblin city and robots.)
