"I" icon NOTE: This page is 100% speculation, unless otherwise noted.

It was rumored that there would be 5-6 expansions as a group of extensions to the world of Azeroth which were mentioned in an interview by a leading person within Blizzard ("We have made concepts for this expansion, and we already have enough ideas for 5-6 more"). In addition, in December 2006 Nethaera stated on the forums when asked whether The Burning Crusade would be the last expansion: "Yes, we are working on plans. No, I can't tell you what they are, how far they are or what timeline we are looking at. Sorry. :("

Below are ideas where future World of Warcraft expansions could possibily visit. The following are undeveloped regions that have enough content for an expansion pack. These ideas are grouped geographically:

{{Great Sea (Murloc & Makrura)}}

World of Warcraft: The Emerald Dream

  • Related areas: Emerald Dream, Emerald Paradise
  • Related opposing forces: The Nightmare (an Old God)
  • Related intelligent/playable races: Children of Cenarius, Earthen, Mountain Giant, Furbolg, Treant, Green Dragon, Dryad
  • Nethaera says: "As for the Emerald Dream, there are no plans for anything as of yet but it is a consideration for the future. The Emerald Dream opens up a lot of different opportunities and the Burning Crusade is definitely not going to be the last of the expansion packs. There are many different places and storylines that can be pursued. The story is going to keep growing and as it does so, people will get to experience it."

World of Warcraft: Northrend

If you look at the in-game map selection screen (Where it allows you to choose either the Outland globe or the Azeroth globe). You can notice that there is White land to the north on the Azeroth globe (Northrend). Maybe that's Blizzards way of saying "Be prepared".

Assets from the Howling Fjord, an area in Northrend, were found in the WoW 2.1 PTR patch. [1]

World of Warcraft: Wars with the Old Gods

This expansion was called "Rise of the Old Gods", but this name doesn't make sense according to the lore; if the Old Gods rise, the world would be torn apart. So "Wars with the Old Gods" seems more appropriate.

World of Warcraft: The Elemental Plane

World of Warcraft: Lost Civilizations

  • Since the location of Pandaria is unknown, it's really hard to say where Pandaren fit best. Ogres could possibly also feature, as could Harpies.

World of Warcraft: War of the Ancients

World of Warcraft: To Argus

World of Warcraft: On the way to Twisting Nether

  • Related areas: other parts of former Draenor, because it´s said, that Draenor was much larger than Azeroth, so it´s probable, that Outland is not the only inhabited part.
  • Related opposing forces:Burning Legion, The Void, maybe some new, yet unknown faction
  • Related playable races: Broken, Arakkoa, Ethereal

User-created ideas

World of Warcraft: The Black Dragonflight

World of Warcraft: Into Darkness

  • Related areas: Moonshade Hills, Thundersong Valley
  • Related opposing forces: Burning Legion forces under Mephistroth, naga
  • Related intelligent/playable races: Shadeclaw trolls, furbolgs
  • Possible new classes: Shadow Knight, Elementist
