With release of the 5. Edition from D&D is there a chance that this will happen ?

Any rumors or information considering this ?

There was actually a licence for a 4e version of World of Warcraft*, but the project ground to a halt. That licence has now reverted back to Blizzard, so they could issue a new licence to another company. I think that 5e D&D is a good possibility, but Blizzard might also get someone to build a bespoke RPG based around the character levels and abilities that feature in the MMO. As a D&D player, I would prefer to see something that was D&D compatible (or Pathfinder RPG compatible) but a system that is balanced with the MMO could make conversion from the MMO to the RPG easier.

You might want to keep an eye on the following Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game/World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game forums:

  • World of Warcraft at The Piazza - The Piazza is the forum for discussing the worlds of Dungeons & Dragons and has a subforum for the Warcraft campaign setting.
  • WoWRPG d20 Forums - Xander212 World of Warcraft RPG forum has multiple subforums for discussing various aspects of World of Warcraft.

Disclosure: I'm one of the junior administrators at The Piazza and help Xander212 keep spammers (usually ones selling MMO gold) off of his forum.

Thanks again

Those forums are great.

I already got some books, but the problem are always the high shipping costs, because I live in germany. So I mainly search at the german and british version of amazon and  ebay. And of course in specialized RPG shops. But I am optimistic^^

 

I got some of the web enhancements but I think there are still some out there, waiting to be found, got to search them when I have more time.
