First Expansion Images?

Look like Blood Elves to me.  Of course, they're in the Outlands right now, and unless they did some serious healing the Outlands aren't in that good shape.

So... this is actually the question I've been wondering. We're getting 2 new playable races for sure. Where will they live? Blizz has already stated point blank that there's 2 whole new starting areas.

So, there are two "obvious" possibilities on Azeroth. One is that area just south of Silverpine Forest. That is a separate area on the map and is completely NYI right now. That would make a lot of sense for a Horde newbie area, too, since it gives immediate access to the other Horde starting areas.

The obvious Alliance option? The NYI area immediately between Dun Morogh and Elwynn Forest. Interestingly, if they put it in that area, there's a pretty good chance there's a deep body of water there - the one that the Tram runs through when it goes from SW to IF.

These are the obvious choices. There are others. Mount Hyal, of course. That would make sense with Blood Elves. There's a small NYI area on the west edge of Tirisfal Glades. There's NYI next to the SW edge of Mulgore north of Feralas and south of Desolace. There's also that NYI east of the Burning Steppes or south of Un'Goro but I'd guess those areas are going to be higher level stuff.

And of course, the entire eastern edge of Azeroth has a NYI border all the way from north of the plaguelands down to the Swamp of Sorrows....
