Yeah I have a very low faith this is actually anything impactful, even with the big number change. They are almost guaranteed to never do the 2018 trailer stuff.
Hard to expect something like this blizzard isn't known to revive dead projects like this or let alone do a massive overhaul on to that
*heavy breathing*
You know, I have often wondered if they could use reforged as a story telling medium for world of warcraft, as a means of telling story's that don't translate well in an mmo. (because the PC has to be present to tell any story, at all, in wow) It may provide a reasonable excuse to put more $ in the game for the C-suite and give more content to players. It would be a great way to split wow's narrative story, the players can go one direction and the lore NPC's can go another, intersecting as the story needs it. (world of warcraft's attempt at telling a full on war story ended in failure, coughBFAcough)It has become increasingly clear the Horde vs Alliance part of warcraft can't survive in the world of warcraft mmo. If things stay as they are it will die, booting the players out of both factions solves that. It would be ironic if the third faction that players have wanted for so long ends up being the players themselves.
