I get italian news from the interweb.
THE BURNING CRUSADE.
The correct translation of the diciture is: “Blizzard surprises everyone by bringing us to level 70!”
Or something like that. Now it’s 22.30 here, but you can be sure I’ll go out early tomorrow and find out what I can. If there’s something juicy I could try to scan it. I’m not sure whether the magazine is out or not, though.
Anyway, that’s the most important PC game magazine we have here and it is surely reliable.
It’s also sad that Blizzard couldn’t think anything else than just to rise the level cap. How innovative.
EDIT: It seem the scan was posted on the official site and is now removed. It’s not sure whether a fake or deleted on Blizzard request. The moderators on the forum of the magazine are closing all the threads about the episode and asking everyone to understand that the situation isn’t simple and they cannot comment further.
Official comment from the editor of the magazine: at this point it’s advisable a general “no comment”. Do it for me, please! (and thanks)
They have always previewed the cover and summary long before the magazine is out. I believe they just didn’t anticipate what was going to happen in this special case and now they are in trouble.
And, since we are talking about rumors, there’s a screenshot hinting that the new horde race will be the “blood elves”. That the expansion will have two new races, one for each faction, was somewhat confirmed here.
Worldofwar also commented this “leak” and added more details about the title:
A little more on the Burning Crusade name. This trademark was registered by Blizzard back on 3 May of this year under ‘computer software’. At the time speculation tied it to a WoW expansion after discovering mention of the name on Blizzard’s page about Sargeras, champion of the Titans, specifically this bit:
“Once Sargeras saw that his armies were amassed and ready to follow his every command, he launched his raging forces into the vastness of the Great Dark. He referred to his growing army as the Burning Legion. To this date, it is still unclear how many worlds they consumed and burned on their unholy Burning Crusade across the universe.”
And finally a screenshot with what seems a Blood Elves town:
