4chan leak lists Shadows of Lordaeron expansion for World of Warcraft: Forever
The unverified post describes paid Worgen and Darkfallen Elves races, a Gilneas zone and two raids, according to gamerant.com.
An alleged 4chan leak circulating online describes a new expansion for World of Warcraft: Forever titled Shadows of Lordaeron, according to gamerant.com. The post has not been confirmed by Blizzard Entertainment.
The leak claims the expansion would be sold in tiers priced at $30, $60 and $90. It also lists two new paid playable races: Worgen for the Alliance and Darkfallen Elves for the Horde.
According to the post, Gilneas would be added as a new zone. The leak names two raids, Vault of Origins and The Cursed Throne, and two dungeons, Manor Mistmantle and Farholde Catacombs.
It further describes a legendary weapon quest that awards Elarathil, Branch of Eternity.
Paid races already a sensitive topic
World of Warcraft: Forever was introduced as the rumored "Classic Plus" experience, essentially vanilla WoW with retail features, new content and horizontal progression. Its Skyborne elves are already a paid race, and the bundle to unlock them gave buyers beta access, which many fans disliked. Blizzard has stated it does not want to add retail classes to the game.
