I'm not sure if I have a poor sense of time or just the people over at Blizzard are putting out expansions quicker. (In my defense, or is it offense.. either way, I'm pretty sure that it's just my poor sense of timeline.)
Their current expansion is known as The Burning Crusade. This expansion (as most players of Warcraft probably already know) added two new races; one race for the horde and one race for the alliance. It also opened the Shaman class up to the alliance and the Paladin class for the horde. Previously the respective classes were exclusive to each side. It also added a new territory. The new territory added new monsters and pets as well. Furthermore, the level cap was raised from 60 up to 70. Players who have World of Warcraft but not the Burning Crusade expansion will not be able to reach 70 until they purchase it however.
With all of these things added with the current expansion, many people are wondering what will be added in the upcoming second expansion The Lich King. Some of the details of it have been released so far by Blizzard, however most people believe that there are some parts of it that Blizzard hasn't mentioned yet. After all, it would be in poor marketing to release all details of a secret before anyone has even bought it, right?
The current speculation is that there will be another new profession or two, along with another increase in the level cap. A lot of players have debated though whether they will raise it another 10 levels up to 80, or if they will only put it up an additional 5 levels up to a max of 75. The way the leveling curve is, I wouldn't be all that surprised if it was only up to 75 though. Not that the curve is terrible. I've seen much worse (for example, Ragnarok Online where you can reach 30 in a day, and only a few levels afterwards in the same time period).
All in all the more the merrier I say as far as content goes. Story is always appreciated in my opinion. A game is nothing if it's just mindless.
Also, the upcoming expansion looks similar to the one that was released before for Warcraft 3. That could be where some of the in game speculations are coming from...
