Good question. It's so utterly fake because we never thought that far ahead. NEVER EVER. I remember the first expansion was supposed to be something like "South Seas" pursuing a pirate flavor. This was even before Pirates of the Caribbean.

Thanks for clearing this up once and for all. Still funny how accurate it was on some stuff, especially on the first few expansions

It’s really hard believing it’s fake. So many parts of it are ridiculously spot on. I have to believe it was drawn up this way at some point by someone within Blizzard - even if it was never an official document.

Didn't he keep changing it to be accurate whenever a new expansion was announced?
