Is it a whole new wow?
Soooo what I was wondering is.. what is the gameplay now? Is it mostly demons still? Can you skip the entire legion expansion? What are the story linie of this new one?

Re: Is it a whole new wow?
Battle of Azeroth is a completely new theme (few, or no demons in sight!), but it does flow on from events that occur at the end of Legion. At the start, at least, it will be all based on Azeroth, and dust off the Alliance vs Horde theme for another round. To me, that theme seems really tired and makes no sense from the story leading up to it, unless we speculate that there may be more behind it that we haven't been told (Old Gods?), but regardless, others seem to love that we're returning to Warcraft's roots. There will be 'allied races' to allow you to play a handful of other races, even if they're not quite what players had been asking for. We will finally get to see Kul Tiras and Zandalar, and there will be lots of cool dinosaurs! Undoubtedly there will be loads of very cool new things to tame, and that's a lot to look forward to

It's interesting that this should come up.Wain wrote:At the start, at least, it will be all based on Azeroth, and dust off the Alliance vs Horde theme for another round.

I've never really played a Forsaken (past level 10 or so), but last night really wanted a plate chest piece that comes from a quest in Forsaken-assaulted Gilneas.
I got to hear Lady Sylvannas herself explain the history of the Undead, and it was profoundly moving and sad. I think that much of what happened in the past to create the tensions between Alliance and Horde has never been dealt with, and needs to be confronted. If renewed hostilities between both factions is part of the process, it feels natural to me.
A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"
Casual player.. don't raid, don't PvP. Suffer from extreme altitis
I love pets - combat or non.

Re: Is it a whole new wow?
From what Ion and Alex have said, the tension between the Horde and Alliance has gone unresolved for a very long time, and this xpact will finally resolve it.
