Something that got pretty much ignored by the whole WoW community is this little sentence from MMO-Champion
“On a non related sidenote, I would also like to point out that the old Emerald Dream maps that have been in the game files for years have been slightly updated throughout the 3.2, and in the Build 10072 of the PTRs the Map.dbc file with some of the settings for each zone was updated to make it a 40 Players max zone.”.
It was posted right below the now-famous screenshots of the new Haloween masks, but with everybody tripping over new race speculations, this tiny bit of information got plainly ignored.
So, what does it mean? Well in my opinion it probably means that the Emerald Dream will be in the new expansion and since it will be 40 Players max it must some sort of pvp-zone, which doesn’t really makes sense to me, but it can not be a raid zone since Blizzard has stated numerous times that they will not bring back the old 40man raids. /confuzled
Maybe this will finally be the often-requested raid-zone where Alliance and Horde have to work together to reach a common goal, such as beating the Emerald Nightmare, who knows?
What do you think the Emerald Dream will be?
