An amazing trailer, I'm sorry to say, Horde I might be taking a look at the new worgens ^^
But the newest patch with exp on bgs is gonna be awesome when I get a time card. My paladin is going to be the fastest in WSG thanks to the patch that allows you to get the charger at lvl 40.

There are a lot of things I really like about the new x-pac. I'm diggin the worgen, but I think its mainly down to the fact that Im a chick, and I like furry things.
The new guild leveling system sounds really cool as well, and the rated battlegrounds.
And, Neltharion/Deathwing is totally the most badass villian they've brought out so far.
What Im totally -not- liking though, as max points out, the redesign of old wow....
They could have made that really really cool with the phasing tech that they introduced in WOTLK, but instead they're spending loads of effort into the redesign of zones I'm never going to see unless I roll yet another alt. I am however more of a one character kind of a girl. My main is going to stay my main and all of this re-design will be lost on me. Useless. Which is a massive shame since that seems to be a really big part of the x-pac.
Tauren Paladins/Priests.
NO
Night elf mages.
NO
These are huge nonos. And anyone who says "oh, Blizz know what they're doing! How dare you criticize them!" dont know much about the actual lore behind the game. They also weren't watching the live stream where the -entire- crowd of people BOO'd when they displayed the picture of a tauren pala during the opening creremonies.
So while there are a lot of ups, there are also a lot of downs and cut corners to the x-pac IMO.

LOL they booed even harder when they mentioned the addition of faction changing to the game. I'm not ever gonna say Blizz can do no wrong, but I also know that nothing is set in stone yet, and I will be patient to see what they come up with before I trash it.

The Mule Of Max blizzard ******** suckssssssssss tauren priests is just dumb this is essentially blizzard's gameplan for this expansion: 1. redesign land we've already made (OH LOOK, MINIMAL EFFORTZ) 2. make a race we've already made in the game playable. (OH LOOK, NO EFFORTZ) 3. add new class-race combos. it's like adding content but it isnt! (OH LOOK, NO EFFORTZ) 4. completely destroy warcraft lore even more than TBC did. i mean no one ******** likes garrosh. if blizzard continues this businessplan of "let's exploit the ******** every 8 months on top of making them pay a monthly charge for limited content" in diablo 3 and starcraft 2 (well we already know this is gonna happen in starcraft 2) then i think we will quickly see a lot of the devoted blizzard fans starting to realize that with a new CEO and whole new list and team of people working in the company, blizzard is not what it was 5 or 10 years ago. of course, most other game companies were already just as greedy as blizzard is becoming, so it's not like it's a huge deal. i'm just sad that the only people we have to look to for good games without it just being about the money is the people that made psychonauts. wts acc with 80 fury/prot warrior and 80 resto shaman pst yes that is all true but you see they will keep that up until we the players refuse to pay for it then they will start to think about it. it is all buisness they are trying to keep us intertaned without think of how it messes up what we already have.

I can see a lot to groan about but I can also see stuff to be pleased about.
I think I'll be sticking around for a bit longer.
That's the gist of it, for me and probably for several others out there.

http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2009/august/images/ss1_hires.jpggosh, they aren't even using that fancy new fire graphic they added to everything in wotlk! I don't like the idea of redoing everything Azeroth and adding new class/race combos. Just seems to add a lot of "hey, don't get scared to level, new players. We're making it even more friendly" things. I guess this is ok, but seems a little silly. I hated vanilla WoW. Opening up the Elemental Planes seems cool, but I don't know if I'm looking forward to any of it. Quote: # Ragnaros used the cataclysm to come back from the Plane of Fire where we sent him and is now sieging the World Tree in Mount Hyjal to burn it down I'm not quite sure if we're able to even stop this, I mean, he is a huge fire thing and the tree has already been set on fire once. Couldn't we just send a bunch of wisps at Ragnaros too? lulz. I probably won't buy it, but I might I guess I have no idea tbh. My account expires next month and I probably won't renew it~ I am looking forward to the Sims 3 expansion more. oololololo.

There are gonna be so many changes, and seeing as how I'm starting on a new server anyway, I'm actually considering starting from scratch. I haven't leveled anything in a while and although it takes forever I liked it almost as much as end game PvP. Hahaha.

TRANOiD http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2009/august/images/ss1_hires.jpg I love the new water. <3 And to everyone hating on the new class combinations... Lore changes. It's not like everything in WoW is going to based on the current lore, and they're not allowed to introduce anything new. They have new NPCs and stuff explaining the new combinations, and while you might not like it, it's just a change in the lore and something you'll have to get used to. I personally love everything I've seen so far. I am really happy they are redoing azeroth instead of introducing a new continent. I'd rather be able to go back and level/raid in something I rarely visit that has been redone. It seems lame to have the entire Azeroth sitting there and no one every goes there again other than for auction houses. My only disappointment is that Worgens can't be shaman. =( Shaman is the only class I don't have at/near 80. But I'm happy about dwarf shamans, I can finally make one at least (I refuse to play ugly blue talls!) I'm also really glad they're going to focus more on endgame raiding and less on leveling. I mean, I love leveling, but raiding is better. =) Gonna add more stuff from MMO-champion to the original post.

TRANOiD I didnt even notice the new water because of the ugly fire. What's wrong with the fire? I mean, I'll give you it's not realistic. But it looks wow-style. Cartoony and fluffy. Fits in just fine. (And I'm sure it looks even better in motion)

The Night Mother shall wrap you in her cold, loving embrace...
Alot of people say they're not going to be see the zones if they don't level another alt... That makes no sense. Flying in Azeroth, Heroic VC and SFK. Yeah, low levels only. xD
Please, think before you post. ...And may Sithis have mercy on your soul.

Not only that, but things like the Barrens that are going a HUGE change will definitely be seen. Since now that it's split down the middle, half of it will be the low level part, and the other half will be the 80+ part.
But yeah, flying around azeroth you'll experience everything for sure.
And the whole "I won't experience it unless I roll a new character" is a horrible argument. Should they not add new races and classes just because you won't experience it unless you roll a new character? No start zones for them either, cause who would ever go there as a high level? No!

Please, think before you post. ...And may Sithis have mercy on your soul. WOW. 2 instances in old zones. Do you realize how many zones there are in Vanilla wow? Have you ever flown from one end of Kalimdor to the other? it wont be anymore appealing to fly over it for kicks than it will be to ride over it. And even if you do get to see it all, that doesnt mean you get to interact with it all. Maybe you should take your own advice there.
