WoW uitbreiding in 2006?

Arjen (Mr_Belvedere)
Gamergod.com had onlangs een interview met Shawn Carnes, developer bij Blizzard. In het interview werd te kennen gegeven dat Blizzard hard bezig is met een uitbreiding voor World of Warcraft:
"[...]
An expansion is planned, not in 2005, possibly in late 2006 barring unforeseen chaos. Work is already going on for the expansion, and it's going good. What to look for?

Blizzard is good at polishing what we do well. The WoW expansion will be like other game expansions in that there will be new characters, items, spells, etc. but it will have the Blizzard twist.

..

While the full range of levels is covered, it won't be equal; the support will be proportional to the population of the game, so it will tip to the high end of the game (as most veteran players will be of high level).

Any new quest arcs will fit into existing areas and arcs. Since WoW takes players on a deliberate path through the levels in specific areas, any new quests need to take advantage of these areas and pair up with existing content instead of making new areas for the same level range and moving or splitting up the player population.
