Well guess I'm not going back to WoW anytime soon.
Frankly, Cataclysm looks pretty freakin' sweet, to be honest.
Yeah, I may just re-subscribe for it. I missed out on TBC outbreak of Blood Elfs/Draenei, so I kind of want to experience the utter madness of a new race. And the whole reshapped Azeroth looks sounds amazing.

New race/class combination is pretty awesome, and most of them make sense (Trolls shift into animals in Zul'Aman, no reason to not have Human Hunters, etc). I love that they're trying something different for this. I'm not sure if it'll be new phasing, though - they might be completely redoing the 1-60 game. Completely.
That's exactly what I'm hoping they will do. I really would like to be able to interact with my level 1-60 friends, if we couldn't do that the whole MMO feel would be pretty much destroyed. I was actually anxiously waiting for the 1-60 game to be redone, it deserves to be on par with the Northrend questing content.

PS: Kinda sad to see Mulgore on fire, it was one of my fav starting areas. So tranquil and peacefull.

It does. But so did Wrath of the Lich King. And like many old hardcore Wow fans I left because it just didnt feel like WOW anymore. I only really got to level 76 before I got bored (I played a few times at level 80 after I quite at my cousins and it just didnt feel the same as hitting 60 and 70.)

Frankly it looks fantastic but its just not the same anymore.

I knew they would pull some shitty story out of their asses to put werewolves on the alliance.. Just like the fucking draenei and the blood elves.

Well, you usually quit for a reason, such as no longer liking the game?
Duh, that's why I quitted, not a reason to be bitter about the game and bash it. I never understood that.

Well you can't expect a game to stay the same all the time? What did you miss then?

Well played, Blizzard. I've been an anti-warcraft type for a while, insisting that they've gone too long with the same crap and add-ons not being enough. But this sounds more like an expansion that plays like a sequel. I'm still not gonna play, but it looks admirably good.

I would play WoW if it didn't cost so much monthly. Especially after all the content that's been added. Oh how I hate subscription fees.

New races and classes, a raised level cap - yep, it's an expansion, all right.

I'm going to reserve judgement for a bit. I'm sure more information will come out soon enough.

When a friend told me about this I was shocked as hell, this was before the actual announcement, it went a little something like this.

"The next WoW expansion is looking... interesting..."
"Oh? How so?"
"Well, they're creating more race/class combinations..."
"Oh yeah? Like what?"
"Well, Human hunters, Orc Paladins, Dwarf Shamans... Gnome Priests..."
"WHAT?!"
"WHAAAAAT?!!!"
"FUCK... WHAT?!"
"WHAAAAAT!!! FUCK!!"
"Oh, they're also giving Horde the Goblins and Alliance get... Worgens..."

*silence*

"WHAT?!"

(my reaction was 100% genuine and I've honestly cut it down by quite a sizable amount, to save you the bother of reading it.)

But yeah, that was just him reading out a post of speculation at the time, So hopefully Gnome Priests aren't in it.

Don't get me wrong, it'd be awesome if they could get Priests, I'm a fan of Gnomes and have been for as long as i've been playing.

But I'll be damned If I'm going to delete my undead priest (something I had to wait for Blizzard to take the faction barrier down on my server for) just so I can finally have my other dream of having a Gnome Priest...


On a more positive note, I'm actually really interested in the idea of HEROIC Deadmines...

[Edit]: Awh hell, I must have missed it on the first read through... Gnome Priests...
I know exactly how you feel.
Within the first year of WoW's initial launch, I was begging for Troll Druids.

And since the first expansion, I've been a fan of the paladin class, but being a horde lover all I got was blood elf.
A tauren paladin would have been frikken sweet.

Now I need to re-roll one when the expansion comes <.<

Looks like they want to bring everyone including new players up to the same point in the story, and make leveling 1-60 interesting again, you know by redoing it all, or at least a lot of it. It should be interesting It looks awesome and there are new zones 7 in all so thats 2 for starting and 5 more for end level, plus all the work on the old zones. As someone else said, got to give it to blizz when they say its going to be world changing they don't lie.

list of zones just came up:

Twilight Highlands, Mt. Hyjal, Deepholm, Uldum, Sunken City of Vashj'ir, The Lost Isles, Gilneas.

You know, I think I may rejoin WoW for a while, just for Heroic Deadmines, that should be fun.

Sounds good. Pretty much everything they've annouced in this xpac is stuff the WoW community has been asking for for a very long time now. A whole redesign of old world, flying in old world, revamped legacy dungeons, Deathwings return, new races, new class combos, finally using unused areas like Gilneas, a new leveling method, good stuff all around. Looks like Blizzards definitely listening to their fans after the unpleasentness that was Wrath.
