Opening the Puzzle box of Yogg-Saron

Guys, I think we've all missed the purpose of the box. Have you thought that it never was supposed to be opened? That the main thing about the box were the whispers, not it's content. Here's my theory, I personally think that I may be wrong, but at least I gave it a go.

According to some research I've done, I think that the purpose was to hint us towards some new content in next expansions. Even tho I think that the next expansion will be the return of the Burning Legion, since pretty much everything right now hints us towards that, the expansion may have some so called side content. Or maybe not. Maybe this whole thing will be the next next expansion. Who knows.

Alright, so here's the thing. You've all probably read the whispers, right? Haven't you seen a slight connection between them? I'm sure you have. From what I've got from it, the whispers refer to two things, not just one. N'zoth and The Emerald Nightmare. Let's start off with The Emerald Nightmare thingy.

From WoWWiki -

The Emerald Dream (also known as the Dream of Creation, Green Dream or simply the Dream) is a vast, ever-changing spirit world, that exists outside the boundaries of the physical world, and is the verdant realm of the Dragon Aspect Ysera.
The Emerald Dream is basically how the world would have been, if intelligent beings had not altered Azeroth's surface.

The Emerald Nightmare (or the Nightmare for short) is a mobile area of corruption within the Emerald Dream. Despite the defeat of Xavius and the removal of much of the nightmare through the course of Stormrage, the noting of a still-corrupted area indicates that Blizzard has future plans for the Nightmare.

Metzen said that in Cataclysm, a third named Old God will show up. It's name is N'Zoth and is responsible for the Emerald Nightmare.

See where this all hints? That's just a page from WoWWiki, not to be as trusted, so we will see what we can get from the whispers.
The silent, sleeping, staring houses in the backwoods always dream... It would be merciful to tear them down... - Hinting towards druids trapped within The Emerald Nightmare?
There is no sharp distinction between the real and the unreal... - The distinction between Azeroth as we know it today and The Emerald Dream?
There is a little lamb lost in dark woods... - Maybe us in The Black Forest(we'll get to it in a while)
The stars sweep chill currents that make men shiver in the dark... - Possibly hinting at some big changes in the universe?
Do you dream while you sleep or is it an escape from the horrors of reality? - As I quoted from wiki earlier, "The Emerald Dream is basically how the world would have been, if intelligent beings had not altered Azeroth's surface." Maybe something to think about?
Look around... They will all betray you... Flee screaming into the black forest... - N'zoth luring us to The Emerald Nightmare?
Have you had the dream again? A black goat with seven eyes that watches from the outside. - N'zoth is thought to have seven heads. Maybe he watches us from Azeroth (outside) as we walk the Emerald Dream?
The giant rook watches from the dead trees. Nothing breathes beneath his shadow. - Again, something in The Emerald Nightmare? Or maybe Medivh! No I don't think so.

This pretty much sums up The Emerald Dream hints. You may have noticed that I highlighted The Black Forest. Why? I think that it may be some sort of a corrupted place inside of The Emerald Nightmare. Even Y'shaarj points us towards it - Patch 5.4 Y'Shaarj sound file - YouTube

Now, for the hints towards N'zoth(keep in mind that it is very possible that N'zoth is the one responsible for the Emerald Nightmare, Xavius was only his pawn):
At the bottom of the ocean even light must die... - N'zoth is thought to be in the ocean.
In the land of Ny'alotha there is only sleep... - Ny'alotha is thought to be a sunken city, BUT, it may be a place in the Emerald Dream/Nightmare, here;
In the sleeping city of Ny'alotha walk only mad things.
Ny'alotha is a city of old, terrible, unnumbered crimes...
Also, again Y'shaarj says "You will rest in Ny'alotha." Rest, just like you will die and sleep forever in the Emerald Dream? Patch 5.4 Y'Shaarj sound file - YouTube
Again, something to think about, is Ny'alotha really in the ocean?
In the sunken city, he lays dreaming. - Here's the conflict, we can't really be 100% sure if Ny'alotha is within the Emerald Dream or underwater.
The fish know all the secrets. They know the cold. They know the dark. - N'zoth
Beneath the shadow of the darkened spire, there is no light, no mercy, only void, and the chaos within. - Could again be underwater or somewhere withing the Emerald Dream.

This is all I've got so far. You are probably all going to kill me for not focusing on how to open the box, but trust me, I thought that this is pretty interesting too and you guys may enjoy it. The conclusion is, that the box according to my research points us towards The Emerald Nightmare and it's creator - N'zoth. Even though we have some conflicts with Ny'alotha...oh wait. Maybe if the Emerald Dream and The Dark Below are the same? ..I'll leave that to you guys ^_^

Thanks for your time and I hope to get some feedback on this!

This is the most epic thread ever, first what comes to mind is The Top 5 Myths in World of Warcraft - YouTube . my insight, after reading this whole thread without break (and ALL the links ^_^) is that the box had 2 purposes.
1. Blizz knows how far we can go with vanity items and anything to do with ingame "secretes" (look at the youtube video, many similar myths have grown huge) so they the box to make us go insane, literally in search of something that never was (isn't that what the old gods are trying to do? whisper you into insanity, and if you look at this forum, it kinda is working )
2. HINT the next expansion (first things i thought of in terms or the whispers was "N'zoth and The Emerald Nightmare" just like TheBambi said) i mean whats a more amazing way to hint an expansion than THIS think of how deep it can go, especially if pandaria was designed pre tbc... oh i really hope they actually though out the lore that far and deep.
well thats my 2 cents, i really am bummed you cant open it though, i was ready to start up archeology right after reading through this :/

The Puzzle box is just a vanity Item, It cannot be opened.

Also, almost all quote's refer directly to N'Zoth the Old God.

He corrupted Deathwing, and still rests at the bottom of the ocean.

Only just seen this thread, I thought it was widely accepted that the box isn't designed to be opened, hence being related to Yogg-Saron, a boss who's trademark is making people insane? The box is designed to send people insane trying to open it.

[Toddler]

Haha, this thread really got out of hand! // TS

[Not writing this just to bump, theres really no reason for that]

[Airwaver]

I was thinking, would it be possible if someone just used a repack on MoP or Cata, make themselves admin and become invincible then try to go to the orb?

[WizardTrokair]

The box is designed to send people insane trying to open it.

Wizzy :P - got some troll info for you.
Some time ago I've spoken to GM about some random stuffs and topic touched puzzles. GM was kind of easy-cheesy so he told me (don't ask me if he was trolling or not - I just don't know) few things:
1. he and his mighty (with powers of GMs') friends from work did one interesting thing - they had some fun with puzzle (from now on in this point #1 is my own interpretation) aka they used power of teleports prolly scripted and tried to open box (back to translation what GM said). Their result let's say didn't bring nothing - they couldn't open it.
2. so they ask (he named here some place where devs are working - don't remember the name) devs but didn't get any answear
So tl;dr if GM didn't troll me
box is not to be open at least untill wod (maybe then it will change something)
I'd bring SS as proof but deleted them - if you could offer any free tool that could restore them for W7 - I could try.
