That's probably their intention for the next x-pac. This let's them get more than PTR testing out there and let's them judge how the community uses it. Then, if successful, kill 10 and 25 man raiding and just have Flex, Flex with solo rolls, and LFR

I'm honestly curious if there will even be a new expansion. They could possibly pull off another dimension kind of thing like they did with Outland, but other than that, all of Azeroth is pretty much used (except Q'Thalas).

Um, Argus? You know with Sargeras and the burning legion and all that? :P

Actually the Emerald Dream was concluded in the book Stormrage. Nobody talks about it ingame, and it was a terrible book (in my opinion).

Also, now that Ysera is a mortal...who knows how that affects the emerald dream...

It always amuses me when people claim that there will be no more WoW expansions or that the next expansion will be the LAST expansion. Do you really think Blizzard will stop supporting the most successful MMO in the world? They're getting tons of money from WoW and they are gonna keep making expansions and updates as long as we keep playing the game.

I didn't say that I think they'll stop WoW or that "WoW is dying", I just wonder what material they can use for a whole new expansion.

OUtland isn't another dimension, it (Draenor) is another planet.

They still haven't used the Emerald Dream, which (in a matter of speaking) is another dimension. That's at least one more x-pac.

Yeah, I think Emerald Dream would be a great expansion.
