Ok, since I know for sure theres at least one person here who knows a lot of trivia about Warcraft, what's next in WoW? Let's hear everyone's ideas.
Specifically, who are going to be the next major raid bosses? We've got Onyxia, Ragnaros, and Nefarion, and then coming up, the Ahn'Qiraj (maybe someone could enlighten me as to the story behind them) and I don't even know who the boss for them is. Also, what other kinds of dungeons do you think Blizz is going to come up with, in Azeroth, or Outland even?
My thoughts are really only on the major raid bosses:
-Kel'thulzad will prolly head some major undead place.
-Arthas has to appear at some point, but that might be a later expansion.
-Kil'jaden I think will be the boss in like a tier 1 or 2 raid dungeon at the absolutely most inaccessable part of Outland.
Another thought: since Outland is going to have flying mounts you can get, I bet they're going to create a system where you can fight from mount-back, since I bet theres lots of flying mobs in Outland.

This doesn't pertain to trivia per se, but I do link this to you.
www.wowwiki.com
It's lke Wikipedia, but for WoW. You can also check on www.worldofwarcraft.com because I know there is an article there about the Silithid and the Qiraji. Ahn'Qiraj is just a city, the Qiraji call it home, and the Qiraji rule the Silithid.
Blizzard came out once and said no one is going to be killing Arthas for a VERY long time. I really don't think they are going to do much as far as definite storyline for the Scourge story with a MMORPG. I'm sure they'll have a Warcraft Four somewhere along the line, then make a lot more money with a World of Warcraft II of some sort.

How on earth could it be arthas or kiljaeden? Kiljaeden is an extremely powerful daemon lord and arthas is the equivalent of a demi god. The only beings powerful enough to destroy them would be Medivh or Cenarius (although being dead wouldnt help him)
Edit:
I know this is completely irrelevant but I reckon that the second race will be revealed about 1 week before the expansion is released to increase sales. When is the expansion being realeased and where (us or uk or both?)

I think Ragnaros is some sort of fire god, and look at how easily he's being taken down now. Dragons aren't pushovers either. They're supposed to have been the guardians of the world or some such at one point.

Here's the story on Rag and the dragons.
Before the Titans made Azeroth what it was, the Old Gods were around. They all hated each other, and fought almost perpetually with massive elemental armies. Ragnaros was the chief lieutenant of the Old God of fire, and in WoW, he's not on his intended plain of existence and he's severely weakened, having been revived quickly and by a weak, which is a relative term, individual. So if Rag were at full power, he would absolutely slaughter everyone but that's impossible due to the fact he's severely weakened, and can't leave the Molten Core.
The dragons were made by the Titans after the defeat of the Old Gods. The Titans empowered 5 of the most powerful dragons(Alexstrasza, Ysera, Malygos, Neltharion, and Nozdormu)with the powers of life, dreaming, magic, earth, and time, respectively. Each of those dragons have their own color, and they actively protect the world. Except Neltharion, because he went insane and changed his name to Deathwing. No-one knows Neltharion's current location, but the two leaders of the Black Dragonflight are Onyxia and Nefarion, the children of Neltharion.
The dragonflights are the red, bronze, green, black, and blue. Red dragons are dragons of life. Bronze dragons are dragons of time. Green dragons are dragons of dreams. Black dragons are dragons of earth and are all insane, and finally, blue dragons are dragons of magic.

Yeah, if you want info on warcraft trivia, Skippy and I are the ones to ask, though I'll concede skippy, in a flat out duel, would beat me when it got to some crazy stuff.

Nefarion is Deathwing's son's name, right? Just making sure for all us poor ignorant mortals. =D

These guys would probably school me at trivia and the like but I've probably got more knowledge of game mechanics =D (I r nerd)
As far as exactly how talents work and for instance how much agil goes into 1% crit for a rogue and how much dodge does 1agil take you. I got all this shit in mah head.
But when it comes to new raid bosses and shit I just couldn't care I'm all about pvp
However what I will say is that I don't think blizzard has quite exhausted the emerald dream. I'd imagine Ysera, the leader of the 4 new outdoor raid bosses would be the end result of a 20 or 40 man instance sometime in the future. Or perhaps you would aide her in restoring order to the emerald dream.
Who knows.

Good idea, but you brought up a good point: Anyone have any good ideas for new battlegrounds or what blizzard might come up with next?
