In WoW's first expansion we got many new toys: flying mounts of every variety, new races, new profession, arena pvp and a higher level cap along with those 41pt talents. It didn't take us long to start imagineering the next expansion, but now that many of us have hit level 70 with our mains, toyed with Dranei and Blood Elf alts and are hip deep in reputation grinds, it's worth revisiting the question: What would we like to see next?Blizzard is keeping tight lipped on the subject, probably holding back until Blizzcon 2007 at the beginning of August, but that hasn't stopped players from rolling out wish lists on the official forums. Some of the suggestions make sense. Others are ... on their own planet.
A quick perusal of the growing thread on the topic resulted in this list:
- New classes, but not new races
- New L20-60 content to get those alts through
- Return to Azeroth, possibly explore Maelstrom or Northrend
- Armor dye so we don't look like a clown posse when confronting Illidian
- Specialization for secondary professions
- Water mounts (love this idea)
- And...orange mochas! (you'll have to read the thread)

Honestly, what turned me off of EQ after playing for years was Expansions comming out every 6 months, always buggy, but here I am shelling out another $30 every 6 months just so I can "keep up with the Jones's." Patch in some of the above content mentioned (player/guild housing/mid-level content, etc..) You start making your customers pay an extra $60 a year just to keep up with content on top of rising monthly rates to play and pretty soon you are gonna lose customers, treat them fair and respect them and you will receive it in return. At least ACT like you care!

Water Mounts, but only if the Maelstrom is opened up. I would also love to see Neutral Races become playable with the ability to side with the horde or alliance via a faction grind :) Would be a great way to revisit Azeroth!

1. I wish that we can use our flightmounts not only in Outland, but in Azeroth as well.
2. Higher lvl.
3. New classes, new gear.
4. A way to pay for change of class just like pay for change of specc.
5. Once in a lifetime chance to change race/class. (very NOT cool to have used all my time as a stupid tauron when i rather could have used that time ass an blood elf, if u know what i mean)
6. New mounts, a water-mount sounded cool;D

@9
I'm not sure if you know this, but you're allowed to have more than one character...
Seriously, reroll if you want to play another class. Being able to change your class is a stupid idea.

ok, long list of things i want in the new expansion...
1)New class - Monk (Pure crowd control class)
2)New races - Etherials, Arrokka - can be played by both Alliance and Horde, but differently colored depending on which side you choose.
3)New world - Argus
4)New Azeroth zones - Maelstrom, Northrend
5)Upgrade Azeroth instances/raids to include heroic versions
6)Total revamp of enchanting profession including but not limited to selling them on the AH.
7)Introduction of apprentices - you can get a person/pet to fight alongside you and you could equip them with armor and weapons etc...different apprentices could have different buffs and abilities.
8)Introduction of Heroic classes and/or abilities.
9)Introduction of underwater mounts, an underwater city, lots of underwater quests and instances/dungeons, raids, etc...(hint hint Maelstrom)
10)Increase max lvl to 90 or 100

- player and guild housing
- island, goblin cities/undermine, northrend, undersea naga city
- boat and fight on/over boat
- recreation of Gnomeregan as a capital and an instance
- the same for troll
- poney ! or mount bag, whatever but some kind of transportable bank only useable where the mount is available
- more stuff in Azeroth (uldum, grim batol, troll empire and so on)
- a new kind of battleground (maybe an "infinite" bg, never ending and giving quests and stuff when whatever npc is still alive)

I'd like to see story advancement, how many nuts and bolts has the bridge guy in Redridge been given now for example. I'd like to see Azeroth moving on by a couple of years, seeing the effects of all the quests we have been doing.
- The amount of dead Troggs in Gnomeregan = Gnomeregan is cleansed, Gnomes move back in.
- Van Cleef has died enough times, the Defias Brotherhood should be diminishing, or a new leader rising etc etc.
- Conflict between the Grimtotem and Bloodhoof clans in Thunderbluff, seeing a split appearing or some sort of plot advancement at least.
Just examples but it would make Azeroth and the Outlands seem like they are moving on in time, not just being stuck in a Groundhog Day.

Epic Manatees! And Gnomish subs! Ah. To dream. Northrend would be great. There'd finally be a use for fire mages.

My top things are;
1) 80 as new cap
2) Northrend
3) more 10 man raids
4) Tuskarrs for Alliance (Home in Northrend, Offset to Tauren), Goblins for Horde (offset to gnome)

Okay I will have to admit I like the idea Jay had (#7) about a Nuteral race that you can faction for aligance with. Maybe like #8 said the Pandaren race...so you could have the same race on both sides and maybe make them able to have any class they want at the start. Maybe a new class as well, Berserker, sorta like a hybrid between a rogue and a warrior (no not a rainja)

I'd like to see more content and quests for those of us who don't care to PvP, farm or raid. More things you can do solo or with only one or two other people.
Believe it or not, we do exist.

why do people always want player housing? It is such a bad idea, just spend that time you would have spent sprucing up your own home.
I'd prefer adding more depth into the current story lines and having alterations to the story that removes old content with new. Onxyia thrown out of Stormwind (with the return of the King). This of course would require adding in more mid-level content to compensate for the loss of items, gold and XP.
The return of Gnomeregan would be fantastic and have a low level instance (i.e. RFC) and a higher level 10 man raid instance.
New classes for same race would rock. I still want to see a Tauren rogue and a gnome hunter (maybe he can ride the back of his pet instead of needing a mount)
Also like Jay/#7 idea about characters choosing your faction.
