I see mention of 20-person "casual hardcore" raiding (I assume, 20/casual hardcore WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE).

Too bad my guild would go once, see no immediate loot, then never go again.

A Kansas City Shuffle is when everybody looks right, you go left.

It's not something people hear about.

Some translations courtesy of http://www.fohguild.org

First one is of a page I can't get the image of due to imageshack's lame bandwidth.

quote:
"The whole expansion will be centered around Outland, Medivh and the Dark Portal".

"Thanks to the time distorsions of the Caverns of Time, you'll be able to see the original Dark Portal created by Medivh to allow the Orcish Horde to invade Azeroth"..

"Caverns of Time will be a raid instance that takes you to the opening of the Dark Portal, Old Hillsbrad to save Thrall and his companions, and to the Battle of Mount Hyjal where the Orcs, Humans and Elves must unite to destroy the armies of Arthas."

"Kharazan should be a 5-Man Instance"

They mention that the floating buildings would be a mini-dungeon "like the one in Stormwind, except much prettier". So I assume it's a bit like Stormwind Stockades, or Ragefire Chasm.. an instance within Quel`Thalas.


quote:
"Characters will be able to reach level 70".

"New Profession : Jewelcrafting".

"Cross-Server Battlegrounds" (I don't think that one is 100% confirmed)

Note the awesome screenshot of Ann'Qiraj in the upper right corner of the right page showing for the first time the textured Qiraji Myrmidons.

They also mention that apparently it's possible to grind reputation inside Ahn'Qiraj to obtain a "special mount" that is usable only within the dungeon.


Google translation:

quote:
"Calculating that only Arthas and state in a position to arresting the former hunter of demons (seen in Warcraft III and expansions) i players, also to the 70, will have one beautiful gatta to peel. And also true pear tree that will be able to count on totta one series of new resources, comprised the a lot yearned for flying cavalcatura: answering to the thousand demands for the players, the Blizzard has decided that the personages joints to level 70 will be able to put their hands, to the term of one long and arduous sequence of quest, on one "mount" flying that potra to be used single and exclusively pear tree on Outland, taking advantage of cosi the disposition to "floating islands" of the region. No novita finally from the point of view of the engine, even if the models of the Blood Elf seem are composed from 20% of polygons in piu regarding the models of the "cechie" razze."

quote:
At Level 70, you can perform a series of very difficult quests to obtain a Flying Mount that lets you travel across the floating islands of Outland.

quote:
After some more translating, it appears that Outland will be divided in several zones...

Hellfire Peninsula (that seems to be the zone in the MapViewer database)
Zanga Marsh
Shadowmoon Valley
Black Temple (unknown whether that is the same thing as the Black Citadel, which is the fortress Illidan took from Magtheridon in The Frozen Throne).

This is looking more and more interesting.

More info. Considering the truth behind the rest of the leaked stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if this is true.

Of course, there's two main reasons to distrust the info provided in the leak. Blizzard essentially blows their load by putting Northrend and the Outlands in one expansion. What are they going to put into another expansion? There's obviously stuff left in the Warcraft universe, but another expansion would essentially have to be new material. Also, there's this on Icecrown Mountain:

quote:
This is a 100-player max level raid instance, and will challenge the Horde and Alliance to work together to defeat the Immortal Lich King. To have the full 100 players, 50 players of max level on Horde and 50 players of max level on Alliance must work together, merging both groups of 50 into one large raid party.

100-player raid instance? Even worse, 100-player raid instance where Horde and Alliance have to work together? I shudder to think how this would work on some servers.

A 100-man Horde/Alliance instance would never, ever work for all but a select few servers. Too much population imbalance.

The only Horde guild I can tolerate on my server is StonerShadow Manifest. And of the like, two Horde guilds that have killed Ragnaros, they're not one of them.

We'd be better off grabbing 90 Alliance and 10 Shamans.

Evidently WoW was created with 100 levels in mind.

So scaling to level 70 will be no problem.

So... essentially players are going to end up on par with Arthas right now? At level 100 are they going to have you killing the Titans or something?

Sorry, I don't believe any of that.

Else where, Karazhan has been revealed to be a 5 man instance, not a 40-man.

Also, there won't be a new class with the expansion. CM reps have said over and over that "There will be no new classes in the expansion due to class balance". However, they have never said that the Horde won't get Blood Elves on their side. Actually, when Caydiem made a post a while back, she specifically stated that they wouldn't join the Alliance, but said nothing about the Horde.

I'm wagering its fake as well. *shrugs* Some of it may be true, as stuff has been slipping through the cracks ever since a decent portion of Blizzard employees working on the expansion left several months ago. (Several of the things mentioned in the magazine article were leaked back then.) Of course, have fun picking out what's true in that thing.

Allegedly, the Korean versions run to level 120... (but apparently you get the skill points at every second level after 11)

That sounds like such a tremendous, uninformed pile of bullshit that I can't really say anything else but what I just said.

Red and Black are hardly the most cheerful colors, especially when worn while cursing, draining souls, and raining down hellfire and misery.
