Data miners find the crucial hint for the next WoW expansion. Set sail to Kul Tiras!
Although Patch 7.3 of World of Warcraft is currently still in a very early testing phase, data miners are diligently extracting every little detail from the game data. And it seems that they may have stumbled upon the crucial hint that reveals the future of World of Warcraft – namely Patch 8.0 and thus the next addon!
The suspicious find is an armor set that has a spicy name in the game data. The items bear names like “Inv_boots_cloth_kultirasquest_b_01” and this gets all fans alert. Previous expansions have named armor sets following the same pattern. Kul Tiras could therefore indeed be confirmed as the target of the next expansion!
The rock has revealed Kul Tiras
However, a closer look at the armor set is also worthwhile. One can recognize a map on the side of the robe that strongly resembles the map of Kul Tiras from the old Warcraft games. Furthermore, fine tentacles are drawn on the robe, a clear hint at old gods, who are known to always have plenty of tentacles to distribute.
Kul Tiras fits perfectly for several reasons. For one, Jaina Proudmoore is suspected to be here after she gave up her position with the Kirin Tor. Secondly, there are plenty of islands and water – and thus also the potential that N’Zoth is resting somewhere in the depths of the sea and finally swings his tentacles again.
A final confirmation from Blizzard is probably not expected until at least GamesCom 2017 – or even during BlizzCon in November. However, the finds speak for themselves. And unless the developers were intentionally trying to mislead someone, then this set is already very revealing.
Already in Patch 7.3 of WoW, there are many foreign worlds to be seen – not just Argus!
