Players are calling for a community vote on what it should be until Cordo responds.

They're already working on more fond memories to defecate on.

I do hope they consulted the PC2015 at least.  Wait, why would they ask players what they want, when the brain's trust there knows everything?

We know the options are pretty limited because they don't have the creativity or skill to create much new stuff, and they won't want to pay for anything so it'll need to be something free. 
Also it'll need to be rehashed mob models, artwork, objects.

Regardless of what it is called, it'll be a linear open doors, red alert, killed mobs, progress to next door adventure.  Artificial challenge will be included via hidden FOM, True Seeing, DR100 and other effects.

Try quality, not quantity.
I'd like to see less mobs, but more challenging encounters with tougher mobs - eg another party of level 30 adventurers (no Turbdine, not two dozen CR100 bosses at once). 
Try working on some really good AI and scripting, randomise the encounter(s) for replayability.  Use actual character abilities and ED's - sneak attack, fascinate etc.  Put some depth in the encounter so player's face challenges that can be partially prepared for but not completely.

I say it'll be Ruins of Myth Drannor.

They do have the mythallar art from WGU quest.
It would be suitable for end game content.

I suspect they'll try to do something with both Heroic/Epic potential again to maximise their development time.

That's probably the only smart thing they have been doing lately, in doing a heroic/epic version at the same time instead of doing it twice.

Yeah, saves people the trouble of coming up with clever alternate names, too.

Oh they had better not touch that series!   
Holy crap, I can only imagine how badly they would bork that up.
I loved that series - would hate to see it diminished by Turdbine.

that sounds too much like being efficient.. so it cant be true

Ravenloft, Dessert Trilogy and Undermountain seem to already have the basics in the game (Orchard, Sands, etc.).

Undermountain maybe.

I d like to see Nightmare Lands adapted as quest chain - just for diversity. It breaks usual use of attributes, allows pretty insane quest design and imho could be used for break from usual xp drill.

We already have our Against the Giants... It's called Gianthold.

but well moar stuff in GH might be good, there's seldom explored corners of the map where things could be added.

I suggested The Throne of Bloodstone (H4?) on the MFs -
cool planar adventure, Demon Princes, best trap ever,
lot's of min-bosses etc.  I very much doubt they could do it justice - should be a reasonable end-game challenge if
they did it right (like NWN Hordes was done right IMO)

Was Bloodstone Pass not more of an armies vs. armies
deal or am I misremembering? - it has been 25 yrs!

Throne of Bloodstone would be pretty sweet, Turdbine seems to be pretty good at that Planar shit, the Xoriat quest lines were always pretty enjoyable, and the Vale/Shroud is still one of their greatest accomplishments by far, and I still enjoy Amrath.

MORE FUCKING PLANAR SHIT YOU WHORES!

Turbine should hire George Lucas. That would increase their raping of memories a billionfold.
