Here are a few future xpac ideas. feel free to add your ideas and discuss others.
Void xpac. We travel to the voidlands or “heart of the void” and meet the voidlords, some good some bad. 7 or 8 zones, voidlords could be like a massive republic with a few different factions vying for total control. They destroy reality because matter and light cause the voidlands to grow. More land, more money. Some mafia style ethereals would be cool too.
Death xpac. We get to confront the real lady death and reign chaos on nyalotha, the shadow lands and the remainder of the nightmare. Several zones. Azeroth was hit by a mass die off kinda like what thanos did in the avengers. We have to go and stop the forces responsible to restore the dead and restore the world, but midway through this the end time happens and the old gods just crush us big time.
Redo outland and northrend In one single xpac. Tons of potential for non ancient beings that have been sleeping forever. New enemies that aren’t a million years old.
A rogue group of horde and alliance deserters form a new nation in northrend with weapons like the iron horde mixed with titan tech from storm peaks. They are warring with the trolls, LK, Titan keepers, and blue dragons, and the remnents of the vrykul. We must help each faction secure their zones from the evil deserters before striking the stronghold in grizzly hills. Why we go to war with them doesnt have to really make sense like a lot of groups we war with. First raid could be the real nerubian raid we should have got in wrath.
While all of that is happening the scryers, aldor and cenarian expedition are trying to reform outland into a proper planet again by combing with one of the moons but a new enemy got ahold of the tempest keep and has parked it over shattrath. the ogres have also retaken blades edge and nagrand led by the ogrila clan and are at war with a large group of night elf refugees and the other inhabitants of those zones. First raid could be tempest keep.
Massive xpac with tons of content, new stories, new leaders, no ancient evil bad guys that have been blowing every great opportunity to destroy us like most other bosses.
What do you guys think? And what would you guys like to see.
i think the next expansion should be a civil war expansion. both the horde and alliance could use some new management.

I’d love to return to Northrend, see what The Jailer of the Damned is up to. Seeing as nobody likes Sylvannas as warchief, maybe we could see her replaced as the forsaken leader with The Jailer himself. It could give Blizz an opening for some sort of scourge undead allied race. Its just that there always has to be a Lich King… Maybe its time for a Lich Queen? We could see her forced into servitude at the end of the xpac for her very obvious war crimes at the battle of lordaeron.
That could be pretty interesting. Her punishment serving bolvar would be worse for her than the torment that waits her when she dies.
Here’s a good idea. So, the Horde’s Warchief is actually evil and players are going to take part in a rebellion to topple their tyrant.
Wait, we did that twice? …
I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a Dragonflight expansion. What might be interesting though (to me) was if there wasn’t a “big bad guy” to fight at the end, but instead all of the efforts are funneled into restoring the flights to power. They in turn give us all kinds of goodies of course. There’d still be plenty of bad guys to fight I’m sure, just not one big master criminal behind it all.
Or is there??? Maybe we don’t fight them in that expansion, but in the final patch they’re revealed as the hook to the next expansion? The one after it might be…
The Black Empire! The Old Gods have broken free at last, N’Zoth’s true kingdom is revealed and we need the power of the dragonflights to win. This assumes we don’t kick old Tentacleses face in 8.3/4.
I like the idea of not having a big bad be revealed until the last patch. Id like to have more raids that arent so much revolving around the big bad guys but are relevent to the story in a local kind of way. Like uldir and the blood trolls or zul aman. Then maybe we could go back in later patches for quest items to unlock something else.
Dragons would be cool too, id like to see the nether dragons make a comeback.
I would also like to see the black empire rise up in its glory and the titan forged kick into action. All the keepers just smashing the various old god bugs.
I’m actually on board with a Dragon theme xpac. And sprinkle in an Alliance fracture and civil war and we’re good. It’s high time the Alliance gets to be the villains.
