I'm just curious if anyone has any ideas when Blizzard plans on announcing their next expansion pack. I heard a rumor or two that they wanted to shoot for one xpack a year? I'm personally having a great time levling chars in BC, but I here how bad it gets when your 70, lol heres hoping I don't hit that ceiling too soon.

Wasn't BC announced about a year before it was released? I could totally be off on my dates, but if that is indeed true, then an actually release would be like summer of '08.

Blizzard's definition of time:

"Soon" = Four times as much as you'd wish. (A week turns into a month, a month into 4 months, a season a year, etc)

They pride themselves on quality, so if they feel something isn't as good as they like, they'll take more time on it. And then the CM's get all the blame for the delay.

E3 is dead, so that's out.

The one a year thing isn't dead, it was just never a solem oath.

Noone at this point has the slightest idea except maybe Blizzard.

i'm guessing it is at least a year before we even hear anything about the next expansion...

that being said, if you hear it is bad at 70 from reading the forums then you are getting a highly skewed perspective from the vocal minority...i personally am having more fun at 70 than i did leveling up, however i also enjoyed leveling up a lot....

It's not a rumor that we've said we would like to release a new expansion pack every year. We definitely have a plan for things we would like to do; and there is a lot more story to be told in the World of Warcraft. What specific plans we have or what we may be working on, I can't tell you yet. Everyone will need to continue discussing what they think is being planned for awhile longer, at least until we're ready to let the murloc out of the bag. (Don't read into that folks. It just sounded better than cat out of the bag. ;) )

I'm betting either the Emerald Dream or Northrend. The Emerald Dream because they've been working on it since before the initial game release and there's been tons of quest lead-up to it, and Northrend because there seem to be some Northrend-related files listed under "Expansion02" in the PTR MPQ (which doesn't necessarily mean anything, though, as files for the Emerald Dream have existed since 1.8, if not earlier).

Buy a ticket to blizzcon and I bet you'll all be the first to hear about a new expansion.

Can we have the space Shaman repair their ship and fly around the universe?

I can't wait to see the "OMG Nethaera promised us Mulocs as a playable race. BROKEN PROMISES! GG Blizz!!" posts after the next expansion.
