End of the World: 23 XII 2012 (Blizzard will announce last expansion)
Facts:
Blizzard is working on next expansion. It's official.
Blizzard registered "Cataclysm" trademark. sources: all over the net
There is/was PTR Test Realm called Maelstrom 3.
Blizzard is going to release new book with much lore about Emerald Dream. What does it mean is: Releasing of Burning Crusade and Wrath of The Lich King was always followed with a book. Now, Blizz is already working on one, that is taking us to the Emerald Dream.
Emerald Dream is naturally next logical step for next episode. However, it's too small to be single expansion. So, probably we will see some connection between Dream and The Maelstrom. This will also explain why we are heading towards Great Sea. http://wow-cataclysm.edu.pl/
wotlk was winter expansion. nothrend = snow & ice = winter. malestrom = water & sun = summer. wotlk was released 1 month before winter starts. malestrom will most likely be released 1 month before summer. there is one more argument for this. vacations! holidays, no school, a lot of free time. what could be better choice if not playing games from morning to evening? perfect time.
let's look at the possible release date. blizz is aiming to release expansion every year, but we know they're always late. after burning crusade we got to wait for almost two years. we should't wait longer. althougth we could wait shorter. as i said before perfect time for releasing is when summer starts. they could use same tactic as with wotlk and release it one month before. so it's may.
last thing is current expansion interval. it's now more than 1.5 year, but less than 2 years (jan 07 - bc, nov 08 wotlk). looks like expansion should be released before summer, probably like wotlk - 1 month before.
if they won't be late, it's may 2010 :)
Aquatic mount is under beta tests
There is a map of the Great Sea. Why not include it in the game?
There is also sketch (not sure about typing this) with travel routes between Old Kalimdor and Great Sea. source: http://www.blizzplanet.com/coppermine/albums/WOW/wow-collectors-edition/world... (this link is actually broken, but the map truly exist on WWW)
There was time, that Thrall bought Goblins, and they fought on the Horde side. Why not repeat this? We all know they are buyable ;p
Brewmaster is natural gap between WoW and other MMORPG's/RPG's We don't have any other unarmed fighter. Also after DK hero class which was made also to fill the spot with it's tanking abilities, it might be natural to see anther class with (on other hand) healing abilities. Every class can become brewmaster! It's in lore. sources: wowwiki.com and Lands of Mystery ebook.
Regions as showed above are from beta or alpha WoW blue post (on official Blizzard forum). It was posted around 2004 and it's not my own. source needed.
One last thing. I don't know if Cataclysm is new Battlenet platform or something related with Starcraft II or Diablo III. I'm giving myself 25% chance that my guess is true.
Cheers

So, it is Cataclysm the new WoW Expansion. I'm not suprised, but I'm very excited. MMO-Champion leak was true and there are some changes to what I posted. Althought this is not everything. My description is about level cap up to 90. That's why I think we might see all posted here as true. With the next expansion, after Cataclysm... I won't change this video, I will save it as it was is.
Thanks to the all of people all over the net, who inspired me for this video.
dude in ur info thing it says there going to stop making them in 2012 the world for the love of the lord isnt going to end becuz some tribe died out and stop making the calender

hello. I wrote this a long before official announcement of Cataclysm and I was basing it only on some blog-talks. They say there will be only one more expansion to the WoW saga and with the current development circle I was expecting it around 1.5 year after Cataclysm. I wish they will release it then :) On the other hand, as You know Cataclysm will be very different then whoever can guess. Next expansion may not be the last, but the date is still possibility :)
