A post on Facepunch says that there’s a slight bit of talk that Blizzard is starting work on another new expansion.
“Cataclysm” is the rumored name for this expansion. It’s world location is the Maelstrom — the hurricane-like thing in the middle of the WoW map that separates the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. According to Warcraft 3 Lore, it’s where The Sundering took place. The Well of Eternity imploded, and it became the Maelstrom.
Talk that the level cap will be raised to 90 is also a rumor.
And there’s also this that was found. Zones and Levels of the new expansion;
– Maelstrom Set
Gilneas – 77 to 80
Grim Batol – 78 to 81
Kul Tiras – 79 to 82
Kezan – 81 to 86
Tel Abim – 83 to 85
Zandalar – 84 to 87
Plunder Isle – 86 to 88
The Broken Isles – 87 to 90
The Maelstrom – 89 to 90
What’s also interesting is, talk of future expansions even after this one! Possibly seeing a Level Cap of 100… wow.
Imagine.. Benie, Level 100 Dwarf Hunter.
There also looks like with this “Plane Set”, two new races will be introduced into WoW. Just take a look here…
– Plane Set
Pandaria – 1 to 10
Hiji – 10 to 20
Wolfenhold – 1 to 10
Xorothian Plains – 10 to 20
The Green Lands – 88 to 91
The Dying Paradise – 91 to 94
The Emerald Nightmare – 94 to 97
The Eye of Ysera – 97 to 100
Deephome – 88 to 91
Skywall – 91 to 94
The Abyssal Maw – 94 to 97
The Firelands – 97 to 100
– Legion Set
K’aresh – 96 to 99
Argus Meadowlands – 97 to 100
Mac’Aree – 99 to 100
Maw of Oblivion – 100+
Does this mean we got a new expansion coming? Or is this all a joke? Only time will tell.
Something tells me they’re trying to compete with EverQuest, in the Level Cap department. Too bad EQ’s already way ahead of them. But EQ sucks. WoW doesn’t. 🙂
