More World Coming for World of Warcraft
by Blake Ellison, Sep 10, 2008 9:20am PDTBlizzard won't be done with World of Warcraft expansion packs after the release of the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King. It won't even be done adding landmass to the 10-million-player-strong MMO, according to Wrath of the Lich King designer Tom Chilton.
"We actually already have ideas on how we're going to expand on that in the future," Chilton said to Videogaming247. "There are still areas of the game that we've talked about and set up story-wise that we haven't revealed yet. So there's definitely more to go," he added.
Wrath of the Lich King, currently in an exclusive beta, adds the continent of Northrend to the virtual world and opens to the public later this year.

Be retroactive. Reinvent what you already have (the old zones, e.g. the Barrens, the Kolkar have been plotting for ages now, right? Let them make a move, raze XR to the ground, Org is under siege etc). Add stuff we haven't seen before, e.g. underwater cities, towns, zones, underwater mounts. Queen Azshara is still around, right? Throw her and her minions in there. This could tie so easily into the Maelstorm angle. The Nether or wherever it is that the Burning Legion hails from seems like kettle full of potential.
You have an amazing team with unlimited potential and an inexhaustible well of money. Move beyond coating things with a different texture, adding features that should have been there from the start and raising the level cap by ten. You're better than that, Blizzard.
It's late, so I'm probably not making much sense right now.

(i) unruin world pvp - make it better even than pre-bc
(ii) innovation in quest design. kill x and deliver x is not and never will be compelling
(iii) mob behaviors/AI. fixed/path patrol mobs don't fit story and kill atmosphere. there should be better interaction between npc factions, humanoids should hunt, go about their day, have dialogue to be overheard. monsters/animals should have some sort of representation of an ecosystem
none of these will happen

Everquest has how many expansions now? Did anyone REALLY think Blizzard would stop bringing out expansions for WoW anytime soon?
