    It sounds like Diablo 3, but for WoW....I don't like fire places in WoW anymore, it's been overdone.  MC, Onyxia, Firelands, Badlands...Ragnaros is coming back...again? No, please not Ragnaros.  Tired of killing him lol.  It does sound like something to do with Sargeras and the Titans (not the game) would be a part of :D

     

    I wouldn't be suprised if a D3 and WoW expansion were both announced,  MoP is almost a year old.  I don't see where people say D3 is horrible.  Yeah, its different than Diablo 2, but it's not bad.  It's like going into WoW trying to play it like Starcraft, it's just not going to work out right lol.

    -game is going f2p with a sub option and a cash shop

    - they will also announce a new expansion available as DLC, part of this expansion there will not be only new areas but also dynamic events all trough the world, to make it even more attractive, there will be a forced downleveling procedure when you are to high level

    - there will be 2 new races, and several new hero classes. But they are not free with the expansion.

    - they will announce that the game will get harder, more challenging and that players wil get more choice... This might be seen in normal leveling zones and dungeons.   The classes wil get another overhaul and they might even add an AA system. To top thing off, players can have more then 2 specs ( if they pay real money) and even change between them in PvE combat.

    - there will be a major overhaul to PvP with the new expansion.

    - player housing ( instanced) will be added.

    As i said before, blizzard realises that currently the big money is not with noobs anymore, but with experienced mmo players. On top of that, going f2p will bring more noobs then ever before and they will eat the harder content like cookies.

    wit Titan being further away then ever before, And the current financial situation, Blizzard needs more income and they need it fast.

    That would be super amazingly awesome BTW.

    The text makes it obvious that it is about Diablo. I hightly doubt bliz is releasing a heaven and hell WoW expansion when they are already making Diablo 3. Either expansion or console release date. I would be shocked if it was anything WoW related.

    With the recent introduction of their new Cash Shop... is it not obvious that they are going to announce they're going FTP?

    Who in their right mind is going to pay $15 a month on top of paying for the game + several expansions, only to hop in game and be offered to spend more money on useless shit? Not I. And I've been playing WoW since vanilla, on/off of course.

     

    But I find it quite obvious, Blizzard isn't stupid enough to bring in a cash shop without taking subs away.

    I don't buy into these "special announcements anymore" sometimes all you get is a countdown timer till a news release...on a news release...   /sigh.

    It's certainly not Titan, 2016 isn't close yet.

    Not without announcing the conversion to F2P first. ;)

    As some have already stated, this sounds very much like a D3 announcement. My money is on an x-pac.

    Announce it at Gamescon, show it off for realz at Blizzcon.

     

    I agree and would bet money on some sort of D3 announcement.

    Well, if they want to make money, they need to do something like this.  In general Blizzard used to be veery very good at looking to others and then copying and improving the best features... Sadly the current developer crowd at blizzard has lost touch with the greatest part of the possible customer base, the dropping numbers are because they stopped being innovative long ago.. taking the game in the wrong direction for best longtime performance.

     

    As said the pressure on the team is rising, because they for the first time need the money really bad..  I hope this will lead to more innovation instead of choosing for safety and a conrtinueing steady decline

    my first thought too image. It can't be though. Can it?

    Why on earth would the phrase "We're making a special announcement that's sure to capture the attention of the Heavens, Burning Hells, and all the shadowed places that lie between." make the first thought in your head be "WoW is going F2P"???

    The MMORPG.com forum keeps getting more delusional by the day.

    WoW won't be going free to play anytime soon, as Blizzard is happy with the current business model. Even if they wanted to make it into a microtransaction based game, it couldn't be done with how gameplay works today.

    Isn't the battle between Heaven and Hell the Diablo universe. That's what D3 was all about...
