Many of you have likely heard the theory floating around that the Emerald Dream might be the next expansion pack, but you may not have heard about the other popular theory: The Maelstrom (http://www.wow.com/2009/04/06/are-we-being-teased-about-the-next-expansion/).

How would you feel about an expansion where the naga are the villains, the murlocs do their bidding, a powerful queen emerges, and dormant gods awaken? We've braved alien lands (http://www.wow.com/category/burning-crusade) and the cold, harsh climate of Northrend (http://www.wow.com/tag/northrend), so how would you fancy going out to sea, discovering new islands and diving down to sunken cities (http://www.wow.com/2009/06/03/the-queue-these-are-a-few-of-my-favorite-things/#continued)?

I have to admit, my first reaction to the concept was an inner groan of disappointment, but when I read into it further over at Lorecrafted (http://www.lorecrafted.com/?p=417), I became intrigued. After all, who hasn't dreamed of drifting off to explore the Great Sea? I've wanted to see a sunken city ever since my first character, a female Troll Shaman, discovered that she had no home city. Deep down, she was sure that there simply had to be some lost troll city, perhaps beneath the sea, or at the very least, a place to rebuild, reconnect and start anew.

What do you think, folks? If this were to be our next adventure, do you think you could get excited, or are you itching for the Emerald Dream (http://www.wow.com/tag/emerald-dream) or something else entirely?Filed under: Analysis / Opinion (http://www.wow.com/category/analysis-opinion/), Expansions (http://www.wow.com/category/expansions/), Lore (http://www.wow.com/category/lore/), Rumors (http://www.wow.com/category/rumors/)
