Dropping this here so we can discuss, speculate and anticipate.
The Midnight expansion reveal is set for 8/19. It will include a cinematic, gameplay reveal, something called ‘creator clash live,’ and housing showfloor streaming.
I’m betting we see Quel’Danas, more thorough examples of player housing (with a release date) and possible UI updates.
What do you expect to see? What would you like to see?

I agree, I think we will see a lot about player housing. They are excited, players are excited - but players do have some questions they want answered. So they are going to try to either answer the questions or provide so much info and distraction and you forget the questions.
I think we will get an announcement of if they intend to do a new race(s), allied race(s) and new class(es) or spec. If not an outright announcement, then they will tease the heck of what might be inline after release of the new expansion.
I"m sure we will see Quel’Danas. We’ll get more of an idea what they mean by a revamped Silvermoon. And probably more detail about the elf reunion.
Yeah, som
