After Pandaria, I have complete confidence in them. The world art team really outdid themselves. So beautiful.

There was a quest that was part of the Scepter of the Shifting Sands chain where you enter the dream, as well. It was just in Moonglade, and again just looked like the rest of the world but with some fog. I'd love to see what the artists could do if they were allowed to follow their imaginations.

Oh god yeah, when I was thinking of the Emerald Dream and how they could possibly create it, it was like TBC/Wrath :lol: After seeing Pandaria, I have total faith they will not dissapoint

I never got to do that quest D: I was too little during Ahn'quiraj's event to do anything (I was like, in my 30's haha) so I had no idea they did Emerald Dream in that :0 I think there was an old druids quest in a barrow den where the Nightmare was infesting the barrow either in the dreaming side or the waking side, can't remember it for the life of me but it was a night elf barrow den

So I highly doubt that they'd made an expansion based on a place that only druids could go(I also dont want them screwing up the lore and saying 'everyone can come in nao!' cause that would really piss in my cheerios. I'm very passionate about my druid and her lore).

I'm leaning towards the Burning Legion returning. We didn't destroy them. Kil'jaeden is still alive since we only smacked him back down his toilet bowl(and he's probably really pissed about that, btw). We've gotten a lot of legiony mini pets this expansion, plus the green felfire. And Wrathion seems to hint heavily at the return of the Legion.
But with the mist the evil force created, others could enter the dream in dream-form, and I think, it's been a long time since I've read it, the green dragons allowed some no druids to physically enter by riding on them or something. Probably just my brain trying to scrounge up what it can still remember and getting it all jumbled up though, I'd have to re-read it to know for sure
Mist? I don't remember a mist or nothin' and any emerald dream quests I ever got were only on my druid, which most aren't in the game anymore I don't think. Only quest I know where everyone could get in the dream was the one with Fandral in Hyjal but you really think the druids are gonna trust people to go into the dream after what happened with him?

TBH, an Emerald Dream expansion is what I've been hoping for since I first started playing. I'ts always been a disappointment for me that I could never go there in game. I remember so many quests that talked about it, and the WC dungeon, Moonglade...I just REALLY want to go there!

If it's trolls, YET AGAIN?

/wrists

Seriously, sick of trolls and troll content patches seemingly in every expansion, never mind an entire expansion based on them - haven't we had enough of trolls in MoP already?

That Quest says hello and this was before the Fandral problem. So yes non druids have been to the Emerald Dream atleast a few times.

As for is the Emerald Dream being the next expan? Not sure since like a few others have said most of the issues were settled in the stormrage book.

Forgot about that one too. But still that's...two quests that were only quick trips...nothing prolonged that could cause damage.

That's why I kinda want to head there and finish them off, once and for all..

I'm pretty sure all affected areas in the waking world were covered in mist and all the sleeping people walked around like zombies, attacking anyone who wasn't dreaming /recalls a big scene in stormwind iirc with possibly Tyrande, Malfurion, and Varian but again, can't wholly be sure on present characters and setting with current memory for that scene

Oh yeeeeah. That mist. Sorry, my mind went to the mists from Pandaria and I was like "whaaaaaat?"

Also http://www.wowhead.com/quest=13586 from Darkshore (added in Cata).
As I joined in Cata, and one of my 1st chars was a nelf druu - this was when I first:
- saw a dragon
- talked to a dragon
- rode a dragon (in followup)
- fought dragons while riding a dragon (in later followup)
One of the things that made me fall in love in WoW. I'll always remember it <3
