The only logical reason for an expansion taking this long to make is marketing because they want hype to build after a long time I suppose. I don't think that works well for expansions vs the original game but honestly there's just no other excuse for Blizzard. They probably had most of the story written for all 3 games when they made WoL. Unit ideas were probably on the board as well even if they came up with some new ones since then. Level design and voice acting is just not something that should take that long. Cinematics were probably in the works as soon as WoL released and while they take longer it's not a good excuse IMO. Testing is done as they go; it's not like they make all levels and then have them test it all at once so that's not a good reason either. Blizzard is either very inefficient or doing it on purpose. Sad either way for us. I shoudln't post to a stupid post like this but I will anyway. They improved the engine for one, most of the art will be completely new in HOTS, cutscenes, dialouge.. new units, mobs don't build themselves. There is little reason to assume that "Hype" is the reason as a more sensible expansion timing is six months after a release, not 2 years after. | ||

HOTS will actually be World of StarCraft: Heart of the Swarm. (1st patch will be to buff ghosts, so it will also be Stracraft Ghost, but multiplayer!) EDIT: NEW PORTRAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||

Change some stuff up for micro transactions and you have yourself a brand new money cow to be milked for the next 5-10 years. People playing WoW will pay for anything. New hats, gear, mounts, items, levels, characters.. the list could go on and on. Then release titan with a new subscription model and everyone migrates to the new shiny game. | ||

I doubt there will be a beta, probably just information on it like new units and what not. Would blow my mind if they announced a beta date time. Also there will be patches during beta, a lot more then during release to try and balance the best it can during beta  | ||
