Expansion named Burning Legion?

[s]wow[/s]

Much speculation has been made about the new expansion pack for World of WarCraft and now there is a rumor that the new pack will be named The Burning Legion. An Italian Games Magazine, The Games Machine, had their November 2005 cover leaked with supposedly the name "World of WarCraft: Burning Legion" and a rough translation of what it said below it came out to "Blizzard takes us to the 70th level".



This is the first big news on the expansion since we reported on the leaked info about a new race for each side. There was an extensive thread on the official WoW forums about the leaked info that since been deleted. Worldofwar.net is also reporting on this and confirms that Blizzard did infact trademark the name on the 3rd of May this year.

The cover has since been blacked out and then replaced with a different story. All of this helps to make the leaked info much more believable. Things that have been suggested with the rumored level cap being raised to seventy is the inclusion of hero classes. The hero classes are not on the currently in development page on the WoW site and that has been promised to be in the game since day one. So I think it's a safe bet to say that the level cap jump would be for hero classes. Another hint may be a screenshot that was on the Blizzard site previewing the battlegrounds feature on April 1st. The screenshot clearly showed the human paladin at level 65 [link]. The photo was hastily edited poorly [link] and was quickly put up to replace the original.

This is all speculation until the story breaks from Blizzard itself on October 28th at BlizzCon and until then we can just hope, speculation, and pick apart these rumors until we know what in fact is happening to the game. Keep your eyes open for any new details on this page.
