***World of Warcraft : Warlords of Draenor***

I thought Blizzard had two separate teams working on the expansion packs (similar to Call of Duty's development system ;). ) so that Blizzard have been working on this for longer than just this year.
 
It's about time for this game to start dying, recycling lore/content/mechanics can't go on forever.

Vanilla content; update the character models, graphics options, use more modern small changes (quest helper, quests appearing on the map along with blue area markers, item comparison, bag options, et cetera, new guild system) but keep the content of the server Vanilla (and the classes/races) and update it on a time scale similar to what happened.

They would (in my opinion) bring a lot of players back to play through the old content and allow players whom missed out on it the first time round. Seriously, Alterac Valley used to be awesome ;) and 40 man Naxx was great.

Jagex tried this with Runescape, it did bring some players back but not many. The good old days are the good old days, they will never come back. :)

Wait... are games/franchises only allowed to exist for a certain time frame?

Oh, I was making the point that it would bring a player base back, I made no claim to how popular nor the longevity of the idea.

So I guess most genres of games should start dying then? Look at FPS games like CSGO which have actually become more popular than the old ones, all they've done is update the graphics, added some skins and recycled some old maps with some new ones.

WoW doesn't have to die out, it's just they dun goofed a bit with WoD and trying to substitute gameplay with garrisons. I'm still finding plenty to do on it but I know it could be a lot better and hopefully blizzard have realised this and will fix the major issues with this next expansion. Removing garrisons and making people do their own dailies (not ridiculous amounts like I heard you had to do in MoP to keep up) will make a lot of people return alone.

A new class isn't really new "content". It represents a new way to play old content. As for my previous comment. I didn't get the goose bumps I did when I heard about WoD - I felt properly hyped up for that. This less so. I think this will continue and the spike in sub numbers seen at WoD will not be repeated.
 
Early impressions are its too little too late for me, this just screams of them in desperation to pick out everything people have whined about being added into the game before.

We want burning legion, ok done that
We want demon hunter, ok done that
We want emerald dream, ok done that

Just tickin off that shopping list, and you know what, folks will lap this up like starved hyenas then whine like little bitches once the content runs out a few months in :)

At least you have between now and then to get enough tokens to make the game free.
