Legion, the upcoming expansion for World of Warcraft due out on August 30, sounds rather magnificent. It's a wonderland where level requirements for most zones have been stripped away, allowing players to level with their friends without the annoyances of coordinating play sessions. The launch oozes with dungeon updates, order halls with quests that grant each class an individuality they had before, and jaunts into long-anticipated locations from lore like the Emerald Dream. It's almost certainly going to turn out to be a launch that gets Blizzard to a point where they'll happily report WoW's subscription numbers again.
And yet I'm worried about what comes after. I had such high hopes for the Warlords of Draenor expansion, which I scored with a 9. And as far as the launch version and the promise it brought goes, it deserves that score. But as the months went past, Blizzard failed to capitalize on that renewed vigor and ages went by without a patch. They neglected it. As strong as the foundation is, many people left out of sheer boredom. As of right now, we've been almost exactly a year without a real World of Warcraft patch, and many of the remaining die-hards just log in to collect their garrison gold.
