On this post i will describe my idea for a new expansion.
As a main theme i will use the Emerald Dream.
More info about the Emerald Dream it self can be viewed
here.
The Emerald DreamThe Emerald Dream is a realm where the world of Azeroth
would be like without the existence of Intelligent life .
Meaning that :Explorers in that realm will find animals that are supposed to be extinct.
The well of eternity would have not imploded. Meaning that Azeroth would be
one Huge Continent .
Crossing to the Emerald Dream There are 5 portals leading to the Emerald Dream.
There is one in Moonglade, Hinterlands, Feralas, Duskwood and Ashenvale.
When traveling through Moonglade the players will have a debuff .
The Debuff :Players will sleep in Moonglade and they will be in a Dream State.
Because most players aren't Druids (and even those who are) aren't
used to be in their Dream State . Player will have a hard time moving around
and the Buff will disappear through a certain Quest.
The other 4 Portals : The other portals to the Emerald dream dont cause a debuff
because then players enter with their physical forms .
Though their free to move , Ysera wont welcome them and
will remove them within a amount of time. Doing the certain quest
mentioned above will stop that as well.
Dream/Nightmare Zones :Ysera knew she needed help with the Nightmare , and asked mortals
to heed her call. While in Dream zones all players are speaking Dragonic.
Also the Alliance and Horde wont be fighting ea other and will
be able to even group up. This is caused by the magic of Ysera.
IN the dream Zone the factions are :
Druids of the Talon
Druids of the Fang
and the Green Dragon flight
In nightmares though this Magic is cut of by the Nightmare. And so
will Horde and Alliance member fight against each other. Also in Nightmare zones
are the most Instances and Raids located.
IN nightmare zones are the Horde and Alliance factions
Outside of the Dream :Some areas have opened and need immediate attention as well.
Nighmare fogs will sprout up in certain areas of Azeroth (these are phased for
players level 78 and up). These fogs are small instances with a Nighmare Boss.
And some bigger ones will have The nightmare dragons (ex. Emeriss ).
The nightmare dragons have risen up again and are far stronger (due the expanding of the nightmare)
Some other areas possible to be opened Uldum
Grim Batol Although these 2 could come with a different expansion
or another major content patch
New Proffesion : Tattoos Tattos are placed upon the skin with magical inks
that give certain attributes to the players.
there are 3 slots for tattoos .
Back , left and Right Hands.
Back Tattoos provide Major improvements to stats
while the hand ones minor.
Some Examples :Tattoo of the Dragon : Increases fire Damage by 300 (Back)
Tattoo of the Drake : Increases fire resistance by 35 and Increases
Haste rating by 45
Tattoo of the Serpent : Increases Nature Damage by 300 (back)
Tattoo of the Lizard : Increases Nature reistance by 35 and increases
Dodge rating by 45 (Hands)
Tattoo of the Tiger : Increase Melle Attack power by 250 (back)
Tattoo of the Cougar : Increases Haste by 65 (Hands)
Tattoo of the Bear : Increases Threat done by 5% and total stamina by 175 (Back)
Tattoo of the Turtle : INcreases Parry chance by 5% and chance up parry
to increae youre armor by 2500 (hands
Expect minor ones as well

It's an interesting idea, surely enough. But I'm not too sure on a couple of points.
First, with the grouping up of members of opposite factions. With all the conflict going on, I would think that even in dreams the Alliance and Horde would still essentially hate each other. I mean, aren't we supposed to be able to control our dreams after all?
Second, the tattoos strike me as an eerily similar mechanic used by the
Runemaster class in the WoWRPG. Sure you could argue that it's inherently different in practice, but it's still taking away something unique from a class. Perhaps making the Runemaster a hero class idea would suit it better. And don't we have enough power-ups we can grant our characters already?
Last, why would the druids of the claw and of the talon be separated into different factions? I mean, I can understand the differing used of druidic magic between the two groups, but they are essentially the same. I think it would be better to just put in another Cenarion faction, and maybe the
Earthen Ring could finally get status as a full faction.
