For me personally I think metzen took notes from FFXIVs storytelling which is a good thing and that one happened over many many expabsions. So yeah. Let's be carefully optimistic. Carefully.

    I started playing back in 2005. Since then, I've played all the expansions except BFA. But for the last four expansions, I've only returned for three months at most. It's all the same old stuff, just repackaged. I don't want to waste my time anymore, so I'm kinda relieved to hear that three more expansions won't bring any major changes. It lets me steer clear of them and focus on life and other games :)
    I would be pumped for a complete overhaul of Classic WoW, though. It doesn't have to be a 1:1 replica of Classic - I'm not on the same page as Asmon about that. I just want the game remade/remastered the right way.

    Metzen will have a hard job ahead of him to catch up with FFXIV in terms of writing. At the very least, I hope that they follow their model: that each expansion will have a full story from the get go, with the patches merely making the junction between them, rather than a X.0 expansion that opens half-a-dozen threads and solves none by the time you are at max level.

      I like the guy and can't deny his part in overall worldbuilding (including art style, going all the way back into 90's) and passion for the game, but Blizzard were never that great storytellers. Memorable places and characters, great cinematics, but overall plot is pretty ehhhh. Goes for other games too, like Starcraft 2. Even classics like Starcraft or Warcraft 3 couldn't always make sense.

    Metzen returns and the through the voice of Thrall he shows just how ambitious the wow team is, and it's extremely impressive.
    "War within" shows a lot of promise, though I am no fan of the new race we can play as nor am I too stoked to not see any level cap announcements.
    "Midnight"... a return to Quel'Thalas is long overdue, but the whole phrasing of returning to old Azeroth and uniting the elven tribes in defence of the sunwell against the void gives me vibes of time travelling, which is unnerving, despite speaking about the shadow being banished forever... I'm just worried. But lots of Blood elves, NIght borne and nightelves sounds good, though it appears obvious they'll all be forced to play second fiddle to the void elves. There's also a miniscule chance that Naga are considered part of the elves and can bring us a truckload of new zones around quel'thalas, reefs, islands and maybe ancient highborne cities (who am I kidding, of course it'll be there!).
    "The Last Titan": An ancient conspiracy has been teased for several expansions now, ever since it was explained that the chronicles were from a titan perspective instead of being the definitive history of the universe. I just hope our return to Northrend lets us see a change to the entire continent and lets us see just how crazy the continent can be if it's not the Lich king running the show.
