I hope it's a Hoax... I don't like the name. It doesn't sound right World of Warcraft: The Dark Below....

I am going to say that it is 90 percent likely to be the wow expansion. Since, and I quote from wowwiki:

"Likely eliminating Diablo 3 from the running for using the name "The Dark Below", Blizzard launched a minimalist teaser site for Diablo 3 called "Reaper of Souls",[3] and the background image is called d3x_teaser-en-us.jpg."

So if Reaper of Souls pic is named "d3x_teaser-en-us.jpg" then that will most likely be the new D3 expac. Leaving Wow to be "The Dark Below" Also taking into consideration that the Ozumat title " Fiend of Dark Below" the chances are again raised.

The only other thing I can think is if they are announcing the new game. But I think that unlikely. I mean who would want to play "The Dark Below" lol...

The video

It's a fake logo. As we've argued on MMO-Champion for the past few days, this logo /is/ fake, because originally, it was posted and shown to us as "The Darkness Below", before whoever made it changed it and made it say "The Dark Below", which can prove to be a little fishy.

As for 'The Dark Below' name itself, it was also registered/filed/whatever in Europe, by the same people who have filed previous WoW Expansions and the Diablo 3 Expansion name. You can only register in Europe through lawyers, and with the addition of 900 Euros. So that may or may not have been proven to be fake. I think 'The Dark Below' is real though.

Don't take this the wrong way but your article writing could use a little work, your word choice sometimes is just a little, odd. However I have a feeling from reading your articles that English is not your first language, so take no offense, just offering a suggestion

They got the same *******s on MMO-champ who post their own shitty fan art for expacs that will never happen. Same guy did like 4 bs threads .

Rise of the legion
the Dark Below
Emerald Dream
5.5 Sky sunder-er
Guy posts under aliases but you can tell because it is the same art work every time.with just a little changed to it. Along with a lengthy chunk of bs about new race and classes.

and just to sink this ship Search ninja part 3: How to find unlisted YouTube videos with Google | ZDNet that picture is from the official wow channel and you can use this to see that wow's channel has no unlisted videos =/

The Dark Below, they probably trademarked Mike Morhaimes' anus?

Clearly not a blizzard quality logo. What sells it for me is the eye where the world usually is, and the background behind The Dark Below, Looks like barely-intermediate photoshop skills.

I agree that the logo is crap. The video is crap. The photo is crap. But the expac itself seems legit.

It's super easy to fake a screenshot like that, BUT I just wanted to throw out there that the original file on imgur.com has been removed.

Took me about 10 minutes to get this done just using microsoft paint: (for the image, just edited the html for the rest)

probably did not want to be shamed when we start linking it with who made it.

two possible reasons they removed the image if they they are done trying to hoax people. Or they just read the fine print which says impersonating a business is a federal offense in the United states as well as illegal in europe on the copy writing site. No doubt they were sloppy and submitted while not behind a proxy or vpn
