A new WoW expansion? Blizzard trademarks Warlords of Draenor

Perhaps signaling new content for planet Earth's benchmark MMO, BlizzCon event in Anaheim.

Although WoW has seen its subscriber base Mists of Pandaria and a focus on the orcish homeworld of Draenor brings to mind an earlier 2007 WoW expansion, The Burning Crusade.

Apart from the trademark filing, it's remains speculation at the moment. But it's likely we'll get a bit more news at BlizzCon this weekend, as WoW game director Tom Chilton hinted to IGN back in August that Blizzard will have some new information about a post-Pandaria WoW to release at that time.
