Hmm, seems like something is going on... It will be a little while before we find out though won't it?

This is similar to the Burning Crusade, and when that name was kind of revealed before announcement! =)

Indeed, Wrath of the Lich King was revealed the same way.

Ooh that's quite interesting. It would make sense considering the MMO's largely following the path of the books, too...

That's an interesting thing to surface this early. Blizzard sorta did the same thing in the book WoW: Arthas in that scene where Arthas sees scenes from the future giving us a glimpse into three possible expansion themes.

This is a pretty big discovery if it proves to be correct.

But Mines of Moria has only recently come out, surely it will be some time until the next expansion is named, let alone released.
