Well! http://us.battle.net/wow/en/legion/

On the face of it, sounds awesome, Burning Legion, zones I've read
about but we've never seen yet, demon hunters, upgradable artifact
weapons, class orders (return of class quests!) all sounds cool. Lots
of potential for interesting story hooks with names and races from all
over the place - although there's so many that I wonder if it's tying
up the loose ends in the story for the end of the game, hopefully not.

I'll hold onto caution for now, after WoD sounded great, and even
played great, up until reaching max lvl. Question isn't so much can
they create a cool world with interesting story; we all know they can,
but can they make it hold its interest after you've seen it once; will
there be much to do in endgame outside of raids? I didn't expect
answers to that question from this, hopefully Blizzcon will tell us
more; from interviews I've read from Ion Hazzikostas, he has openly
admitted they didn't get it right with WoD, so I do hope the right
lessons have been learned this time.
