Blizzard just trademarked "The Dark Below"

[Emisary]

"The Dark Below" controversy continues as time passes, TMView shows that the application for the trademark is under examination so the name remains as being registered by Blizzard so we might actually see an expansion after this.







What we know from Wowpedia and Wowwiki


"The Dark Below is a place inhabited by demons, devils and infernal creatures, from where some sorcerers take their power directly and sometimes have a patron beast to foster their magic."

Relationship to the Twisting Nether

The demons from the Dark Below apparently exist apart from the Burning Legion, who reside in the Twisting Nether. The Dark Below may be another description for the "Twisting Nether", in which case these are demons of a separate faction that live within the same plane of existence. This would explain how player warlocks are able to summon demons that do not serve the Legion.
The "Below" in The Dark Below

This implies a region that is underneath the crust of Azeroth, and not the twisting Nether in outerspace up in the sky. In early conceptions, hell is percieved to be underneath and not up in the sky.


Edited: Link to the trademark: http://www.scribd.com/doc/159754556/...80%AD%E2%80%AE


Second update:

It looks like Blizzard registered another trademark, for Diablo 3 this time, "Reaper of Souls"

This sounds more of a D3 expansion than a WoW expansion.

Edit:
Warcraft IV: The Dark Below
seems awesome tho.

It might be a D3 expansion too , just something that adds in favor of WoW expansion, Ozumat has the title <Fiend of the Dark Below> , and also Ra-den warns us "there is a yawning chasm of darkness beneath you mortals, vast, endless, and all consuming. I do not believe that you can correct this doomed course.But you have earned the right to try."

Have no idea whether they've killed off any possibility of this, however if it would be related to WoW sounds like something in relation to the naga although the wiki says otherwise. Will be interesting to see where they take the game!

Personally, I would have always loved for them to have made another warcraft RTS and they could re-brand a fresh, new wow MMORPG universe based from their new RTS! woo :>

Agreed on the D3 expac. I'm still excited regardless!

The next D3 xpac is called "Reaper of Souls"

MMO-Champion - Diablo 3's next expansion is named "Reaper of Souls"?

[Poglia]

Reaper Of Souls IS the D3 expansion. Try to share it on Facebook and you'll see:

Hmm, we all seem to be forgetting Titan or even Blizzard All-Stars.
This could easily be something related to these games.

The New WoW Expansion Looks Like It Has To Do With Underwater - Because I Remember That Boss In Cata Throne Of Tides Ozurnat Had The Title <Fiend Of The Dark Below>

MMO-Champion - Blizzard Trademarks "Corgis Unleashed" (Okay, not really)

Dark Below confirmed as a Hoax

[Sarick]

I can't find Diablo Expansion trademark anywhere?
Can someone link it.

MMOC can't confirm or deny anything, unless they have internal knowledge, they purely assumed as being a hoax knowing that anyone can submit a trademark application for free.

However the name might still be real , but the most convenient way is to wait and see.
