Jumping to Conclusions, part 2: Electric Boogaloo

Ok, so I talked in the previous post about my extreme extrapolations from a number-value on a piece of gear that may never make it to the game live.

In short, the conclusions to which I jumped are that A: the next expansion will raise the level cap to 100, and therefore B: we will have our big confrontation with the Burning Legion.

So going from there, what else might we expect?

Draenei Lore!:

If ever there is an opportunity for the oft-neglected Draenei to get some attention, it's when we're facing the Legion. No race has fought and out-maneuvered the Legion as long as the Draenei. That, coupled with Velen's Army of the Light, means that we've got to put the Draenei center-stage.

Demon Hunter Class!:

Demon Hunters may never become a real class in-game, but if ever there was a time to add them, it would be a Legion-based expansion. I would love to see a new Hero Class added to the game, and I can't think of one with more exciting lore and aesthetics than the disciples of Illidan.

The Return of Illidan!:

They've said they want to redeem Illidan in some way. Maybe that was accomplished by the Sindweller quests in Felwood, who managed to provide him with sympathetic motivations, but this is Fantasy, and as epic as Black Temple was, Illidan didn't really get the send-off he deserved (I actually think Arthas is a better villain, but no one can argue that his character didn't end in a grand and final way.) So let's bring him back from the dead - as an ally this time.

The Return of Turalyon and Alleria!:

Oh man, have they been teasing this one for years. No one has seen these two since the closing of the Dark Portal after the Second War. We've met their son, but presumably they're just too badass to sit around and have spent the last 30-odd years slaying demons non-stop. It'll be nice to bring in an ass-kicking, takes-no-bullshit Paladin back into the fold, along with a stone-cold killer of an elf.

Argus!

Oh man do I want to go to Argus. We've heard just barely enough about it to have our interests peaked (we know the capital is Mac'aree, for instance.) I know that Blizzard seems to be on this "focus on Azeroth" kick, but you know, we've spent the last three expansions on the home planet. I think we're ready to take to the stars once again. Plus: it makes us more proactive in a quest against the Legion.

Flight of the Exodar!:

The Exodar has been fixed. While the Cataclysm and the current Alliance-Horde War have been huge distractions, I imagine that when things have settled down, Velen's gong to be pulling up the anchor and welcoming any able-bodied soldier aboard. How awesome would a pre-rendered cinematic of Exodar taking off from Azuremyst Isle be?

So there are my further crazy extrapolations, or rather what I would want to see in a Burning Legion expansion.

I eagerly await Blizzcon to see how much of this holds up, if any.
