Sigh, 'Age of Darkness' is wrong on so many levels. Spoiler warning, here's some actual info on the next expansion:
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands >Two new continents: Dragon Isles, Shadowlands. >New class: Tinkerer DPS with turrets, bombs and 'ghost buster' gimmicks. Also healer and tank specs. Uses mail armor. Primary stat is intellect. >Vestiges of Power (secondary talent system a la artifacts/essences). >Level squish postponed. >No world revamp. >New scaling tech that will do away with the frequent item level & stat squishing. >Raid tier sets are not returning, but there will be class-specific challenge sets. >Champion system: We will reunite with the spirits of fallen heroes: Uther, Cairne, Vol'jin, Varian, Saurfang, Rhonin, etc. But also certain villains.
There is a secret war in the Shadowlands: >The Old Gods are not dead. They are sleeping in Ny'alotha. N'Zoth has been redirecting souls to fuel the Old Gods' ascension back into the world. The Black Empire will rise again very soon. This is what Azshara saw when she died.
Forces of death aka "Death's Vanguard": >Elune, Helya and others are working together to fight the Void incursion into the Shadowlands. Bolvar brings us there. >Sylvanas has been honoring a pact, waging war in Helya's name. >Elune's night warrior also transports the souls of its victims to the Shadowlands. >Alliance has inadvertently helped the war against the Old Gods in the Shadowlands. They will be reunited with all of the casualties (almost). >Bwonsamdi is working for Hakkar the Soulflayer, who seeks power for himself, also by consuming souls.
Christopher Reyes
Old Gods: >The void exploited the defeat of Argus to gain access to the Shadowlands. Xal'atath may have sold us out. >Ny'alotha is threatened by the advance of Death's forces >N'Zoth instigated the battle for Azeroth to cause death & consume more souls. Sylvanas propagated the war to usher souls toward Helya instead of Ny'alotha.
DARKFRONT: >"Starting point" for Shadowlands. Three minor factions: Night elves, death knights, Helya/Sylvanas. Helya is kinder now & prettier. Main goal is to prevent Ny'alotha from consuming the souls of the fallen. Huge rivers of souls run through each zone.
MORBARA: >All the blood trolls we killed in Nazmir are here. Bwonsamdi has been roped into working for Hakkar the Soulflayer. We help him overthrow Hakkar and reclaim his title as the loa of death.
Andrew Moore
ALNIR RIFTLANDS: >A crucible for the primordial energies that comprise the fabric of all realities, with portals to each one. Everything is spilling in and out of rifts. Source of void incursions on Dragon Isles and Emerald Dream.
XIROS: >Semi-peaceful zone where spirits go to rest according to lore. Main city and sanctuary is here. Lots of questlines and two dungeons. Greek inspired, a la "Hades' front yard". Ethereals have a big presence here.
There will likely be 9 dungeons total at launch, 5 in Shadowlands and 4 on Dragon Isles. No names for them yet.
Dragon Isles: >Don't know much, but it has void dragons >We will help rebuild the black dragonflight >Storylines for each dragon aspect

another bomb for blizzard, why do they even bother carrying on this shitty old god storyline
Jonathan Walker
>objective markers >minimap >flying mounts >instances with teleport lfg queues >auction house literal movie game
so is Blizzard finally going to allow Horde and Alliance players to group up together or not?

There's one thing that kinda makes me believe this is real. The logo is new and doesn't look like a photoshop from one of the older logos.
If you made it up props to you OP. The rest of the post sounds like bullshit though.
Kayden Hernandez
Hasnt Uther been dead for like 20 years at this point
Nicholas Anderson
Lore wise DH, DKs and warlocks would be overpowered there. Infinite fuel
Nicholas Perez
>No world revamp
Yikes, cringe, and dropped.
What about the dance studio?
Owen Butler
Spoilers: it will be fucking garbage
Jaxon Cooper
>still pushing the N'zoth wants to revive the old gods meme Jesus christ fuck off, the old gods have always been in constant strife
Connor Martinez
>putting all this effort into a fake leak why? what's the point? we all shit on wow here anyway, you should have posted this on like MMOchampion or something
Nicholas Wood
>Saurfang Dranosh? Or Varok dies too?
Dominic Martin
I fucking hate WoW now but as a DK main I'd be forced to resub for Bolvar & Shadowlands
I know what you mean but you are using the word retcon wrong
Joshua Parker
Yes and the supposed expansion takes place in the land of the dead, are you a brainlet?
Wyatt Bennett
This sounds terrible. It probably is real.
Colton Hill
>DK main lol
Noah Jackson
Ugh, I've read so many fake leaks on this site but somehow this one rubs me the wrong way. Like its just so underwhelming and eyerolling that I feel like it might actually be legit.
Most fake leaks include at least one thing to get me excited. Nothing here.
Someone screencap this and post the picture so i can save it

>new That is just Legion's logo recolored. The eye/tentacle shit at the top is bad, even at the dumb angle you can see it's vastly lower quality than the rest of the logo.
James Jenkins
>New class: Tinkerer DPS
this would be really fucking dumb sense they already have engineering. It adds nothing new or interesting.
Anthony Rogers
>Bwonsamdi has been roped into working for Hakkar the Soulflayer. We help him overthrow Hakkar and reclaim his title as the loa of death. Hakkar has always been worshipped as a god, he wouldn't take the inferior title of Loa in the first place you fucking retard.
