We all want different things for the next expansion. List yours! (But keep already confirmed stuff and game mechanic-related things out)

Stromgarde re-built.
This could be a high-level daily quest hub, much like Quel'danas or Argent Tournament. Kill the syndicate/ogres and gather supplies for the re-construction.

Kul Tiras added in game
Because it makes sense. Tandred Proudmoore is listed as a secondary leader of the alliance, and even though Kul Tiras took some hard blows in the past wars (which was like years ago anyway), they're still the number one naval nation. Kul Tiras could be a daily quest hub aswell, or just a new zone.

Danath Trollbane
Danath need to come home. Galen is dead, and the campaign in Outland is "over". Come home, rebuild Stromgarde and lead it to glory once again!

Khadgar
I want Khadgar to come home and kick Rhonin out of Dalaran. Not likely to happen, but it'd be sweet.


Argent Dawn/Crusade
These organizations had the main focus of wotlk, but I dearly hope that they won't be completely forgotten in Cata.

Wildhammers
More Wildhammer dwarves for the alliance.

More custom characters
Even if it's just changing height between short/medium/tall and body type between skinny/medium/muscular/over weight, I still want more customization.

Q u o t e:
Uniforms

---

All "standard" uniforms of all factions (Like Stormwind, Ironforge, Argent Crusade, Kirin Tor etc etc) should be obtainable. Complete with tabard and weapons.

Silvermoon, Eversong and Ghostlands updated. Properly updated though, and this applies to the Draenai starting zones too. I have a nasty feeling they'll ignore them due to them being instanced in the Burning Crusade area, however. If they don't update the quests, I'll be very annoyed.

I'd like more "Woah..." moments in the game. Remember when you rolled a lowbie dwarf and made your way up to Ironforge, up that winding road and you pause, look up at that huge mountain and the immense gates of Ironforge.

I want more moments like that. Moments that make you stop can go "woah.."

More and updated class quests, one every 10 levels preferably. And I want useless items revamped as well.
No one uses ''of the whale'' gear, Blizzard.

Lordaeron retaken for the Alliance

Kick out the dull Forsaken and make a new age of glory with Calia at the throne. Or at least make them move in at Hearthglen or Tyr's Hand to wage war upon the Forsaken. Make WPL a major PvP zone, contested like Wintergrasp (Andorhal being the main objective - Forsaken camp being Caer Darrow & the Bulwark, Alliance camp being Hearthglen & Chillwind Camp (Retaken from those foul traitors!)).

Make the Argent Crusade fail

Well, more than they already do. Just make them fail at Icecrown and Tirion die. Pacifist wimps and white knights are boring as hell.

Garrosh dies a horrible, horrible death

Deathwing eats him at the start of the expansion so we can have a real orc as Warchief again.

Stromgarde - rebuilt and retaken

Another human kingdom ready to wage war and destruction on the Horde. An epic questline where the Trollbane returns to crush the other contesters for his land, ending in the destruction of Hammerfall!

Playable vrykul

Make a splinter faction of them join the Alliance. The creations of the titans better stand together. Oh, and rule the seas!

Actual war

I want to see battles forming out in random locations between NPCs, some trying to take over areas (And will if not stopped). Southshore versus Tarren Mill! Zul'gurub against Stormwind! Blood Elves trying to take Stratholme from the Alliance! You name it. Give me explosions, terror and death all around.

Orcish expansion in southern Kalimdor

Why bother with spending all the resources on conquering the elves? Expand south while you got the lead! Conquer the areas and make use of them before anyone else. Force the sand trolls to capitulate! Make use of the fertile Un'goro Crater. Take control of the ogres! No need to wait with the totalitarian means, it is all for the better future of the Horde.

Oh and the sake of it - How about making a damn shipyard at Orgrimmar?

Proper looks to fit the races

Just give us the proper fierce Night Elves back and remove the silly cheerleaders. Yeah, also better customization of the models - Bit silly with every human mage being all buff and the same height aye? All in all, less kittykat more srsface.

Overwriting models of gear

Mhm, well. Just make it able so you can change the model of your gear to something you have previously worn. Example, you can change the looks of your tier 9 to tier 2 or the Imperial Plate set. Would allow people to look different and make use of the old and at times pretty cool models while also being able to play the game.

Model Customisation

Even if its only minor like three model options per race/gender - thin, average, muscular. For example the current male belf could be the muscular end of the scale with the original model from BC beta are average and a smaller one as thin.

More viable specs

With Path of the Titans this may be possible, Smiter Priests, Shockadins, Frost heavy Frostfire etc.

Update Silvermoon

Removal of fel crystals, removal of the Horde party wandering around, addition of more Horde races in the city, perhaps Tauren (pallys and priests) and Forsaken.

The ability to customise gear appearance

For example buying a "stat scroll" from a vendor and copying the stats from an item onto it, then using the scroll on another item to give it the stats but not the appearance for example copying the stats of the Conquerer's Kirin Tor hood onto the scroll then placing those stats on Don Carlos' Famous Hat, the name of the item would change to Conquerer's Kirin Tor hood and it would gain the stats and ilevel but would retain the Haliscan appearance.

Ingame GHI

The ability to create your own quests

Ingame FlagRSP

Here is what I would like to see:

- Player/Guild Housing, yeah I know they said they were not doing it but I am hoping.
- Anduin Wrynn, come on he has been a kid for ages time to add some years on him me thinks.
- The Bridge in Lakeshire and the buildings in Westfall repaired.
- Buffing up of city guards and faction leaders, make it a little harder than it is at the moment.
- Redesigning of the crafting system, make crafted items actually different in terms of quality rather than all of them being exactly the same.
- Varian Wrynn takes out Garrosh.
- Fall of the Horde, ok ok only joking.
- Something done about all the Gold Sellers and dead bodies around the capitals.
- More emotes and RP tools. An item generator and uniform creator would be fab.

Thats all I can think of so far.

Player and guild housing is a bad thing. They'd be limited, and lets face it - expensive. At the end of the day, 99% of the time the houses would go to the same hardcore players that shell out 50000g on Mechano Hogs, BoE epics and Tundra Mammoths rather than the roleplayers who devote most of their time to roleplaying.

Most of the things I want -are- in the expansion. But, mostly, I just want the story focus to be on every race. Wrath of the Lich King had cake mostly just for the Humans, Orcs and the Forsaken.

And I want every city to have something new and exciting, like, the ruined part of Silvermoon rebuilt, the Exodar becoming more like a city than a space-ship-wreck, Trolls with their own city, Gnomeregan retaken, obviously Undercity and Ogrimmar are getting something new, I don't have any ideas for Darnassus but still -something- ; Mage related maybe(?), and Thunder Bluff becoming more darker and militarized (In a Tauren sort of way), Ironforge - I don't know, and so on... just something!

Q u o t e:
Ironforge - I don't know, and so on... just something!

---

Old Ironforge, possibly?

I think, give Ironforge some more tiers, bring in more houses, open up the closed ones! Make it darker, like a Dwarven city should be!

Get the Senate in there! Their there lore wise, and it'd great to be able to see Magni arguing with them from time to time!

I only want 2 things:

- Affiliation: There are so many clans and factions your character can choose to help, but you're always regarded as a mere champion. How about actually joining said faction? That would be so cool!

- Wrathgate cinametics: It made go wild the first time I saw and still does now, the event at the Wrathgate shouldn't have been the only one with such a cool movie. In Cataclysm, gief moar of these movies and above all, let players participate in these movies.

Massive piles of furry corpses, that's what I want.

I also want more RP titles.

The sodding dances I was promised!
Is it too much to ask for me to have a dance which I actually can stand to watch?

A villain that is neither insane or six times bigger than me
Maybe its only me, but being having my ass handed to me by a completely sane Gnome is much more satisfying than being killed by the unholy legion leader of Dante's seventh circle of hell that is the size of the moon. At least the latter is expected to kill you.
Azshara to actually turn out to be a protagonist
Seriously, it would be a lot more satisfying for me to have her give me some quests in the expansion with some interesting night elf lore attached to that instead of taking her head for some randomly created NPC as part of a quest.
Deathwing to be voiced by Samuel L Jackson

Alleria and Turalyon are working on the new dances as we speak. They had to find that other Mograine brother in Outland so they could use his dance studio to reforge the Dancebringer.

What I want in the expansion...

More class specific quests, with only experience, in all meanings, as reward(s).
Obviously alot more of cinematics(see above).
City upgrades. More space to cover would be very nice.

And an RPG-mode connecting your character to WCIII, and more functions in WCIII in order to be able to play the PnP RPG with visuals. More models in WCIII, and a GM mode in WCIII, able to change certain settings in order to make the game more realistic.

The ability to learn a language apart from the standard(not cross-faction, naturally).
More buildings in general.
Upgraded graphics on all player models.
More technology-based weapons and armor.
Tinker Prestige Class(not really wish it to happen, but it would be nice).
Able to take a select few of ritual 'emotes' obtainable through quests.

An in-game description function, with a guide on the website, and a policy on descriptions. Better thought through as well.

More NPC dialogue, prefferably not generated, but specific to NPCs, so that when you discover a new one, you'll a hear a new line.
An NPC dialogue ignore function.
Expansion of ignore list.

More proffesion based items, such as a smithing tabard, big blacksmith hammer, etc.
More proffesion and class-trainers all over the world, with personal dialogue, to get a better idea on how the class is supposed to be played.
Variant class titles on trainers would be nice in order to have a clearer idea of what the classes of WoW are in RPG terms. Such as Troll-Druid trainers with titles like "Primal <NPC>". Or Goblin Rogue trainers "Buccaneer <NPC>".

Gnomeregan updated for the lore. Perhaps the place to buy the technology based weapons?

Not necesscarily, this is a multiplayer game so suppose that in order to obtain player housing you have to group with others either guilides or friends in order to obtain the materials to build the house (professions adding to it for example a miner for ore to speed up expanding the home, engineers anbd enchanters for extra things like lightning and devices, jewelcrafters for decorations, tailors, skinners and leather workers for furniture etc).

Suppose that instead of having one big house each we get a communal house with say five rooms and when you decide to create a house you have to have a goup of five players who sign up to help you (guild charter style) and each one gets a room in the house.
To build the basic house (and increase its size afterwards) you need to collect materials from the world such as lumber and non-miner ore (similar to the black blood of yogg saron quest where you "mine" ore as part of the quest).

Once the house is constructed each player has their private room that they can lock and unlock but only they can modify its contents, they can also choose to sell it off to another player via some form of deed item that can be AHed.

Just a thought.

Stromgarde repaired, and turned into a fully functioning city, like a mini-Stormwind. I'd also love to see some more RP spots for Hordies, more empty houses, friendly npc towns, etc. Poor Hordies don't get enough RP spots.

Undercity will probably get the biggest change, as blizz promised us the upper city, or if you want to say so, the orginal city, up on ground.

Ogrimmar is the only other city we know will change, as blizz will strengthern the walls with black iron.

oh and what I want? ehhm...

Forsaken progress shown in hillsbrad, more models to gear, and more rp gear, more wrathgate style movies... And more epiq sized battles, maybe one like battle of light hope's but with players on both sides...

Seasons.

Winter, autumn, spring, summer.

Snowy Stormwind / Orgrimmar would be awesome.
