The MMO Champion 8.0 speculation thread is a hoot.

Battle for Azeroth may be the title of the next xpac. A trademark was filed in New Zealand, and when you search worldofwarcraft.com/battleforazeroth in the url, you are redirected to a page that automatically adds hyphens to the name: worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/battle-for-azeroth.

I have to say, the name is rather generic. Hasn't every xpac been a battle for Azeroth? lol

Yeah :) But if it's real, maybe it refers as much to the battle for the soul of Azeroth (which is novel) as the battle for control of the world (which happens all the time)?

Not gonna lie, this Blizzcon Opening Ceremony started off really weak. That long white-background ad with the cringe comments about how gaming changed their lives was painful to watch. They milked things WAY too hard, almost like a poorly scripted thing. Sure hope that was the worst of the stream, because that was kind of awkward. Very awkward.

I thought the white background family/friend comment about blizzard games was ok and sweet :). But I do think the last part where they repeat family, friends over and over again a bit cliche and been done so many times and it felt 'forced'.


I'm really disappointed that someone spoilt about HOTS new heroes online so I wasn't that excited about the cinematic.

I liked the opening thing, actually. I thought it was sweet :) Though I felt *really* old to see adult players talking about how they played WoW on their parents' knees as kids :P

The artists responsible for the Hearthstone promo trailers never fail to make me laugh. The art is great and they do such a brilliant job. :)

So new continents are Kul'Tiras and Zandalar. Zandalar has loads of dinosaurs :) I think Kul'tiras had a new parrot model but I need to go back to the trailer to check.

The theme makes me worry that we're going to be pressured into PvP (or pseudo-PvP) even more than before. I hope that's not the case.
