The Cataclysm

Pretty much everything, but especially the new goblin race. ( I've always loved tropical islands ) I'm really excited about flying mounts in Azeroth, that's gonna be so awesome! ..and of course the changed zones, like Thousand Needles being flodded, and Barrens ripped apart, ah, I can't waaait! The new Orgrimmar design is great too, and i love the new water graphics, soo shiny! The instance I'm looking most forward too is The Elemntal Plane, I think, and I really hope the goblin mount is gonna be a car! That's all I can think of right now! :D

I can't wait for Worgens!! I LOVE Werewolves and CANNOT wait to play them! They look so awesome and I really want to play one and probably change my characters to them, they are by far the best class there is! I've seen every movie with Werewolves in them and I was so stoked to hear that we'll be able to play them on WoW! I Really want to play a Worgen and the wait is killing me!

Expansions are always my favorite part of World of Warcraft! With Catacylsm's Goblins, Worgen, and new class/race combos like Troll Druids and Dwarf Shamans, all of my friends in Orange County are finally going to sit down and reroll on the same server, and get a ten man guild started! We're going to be called "Who Live Like This" and you'll see us in game soon! Ten of us plowing through new content, breaking our goblins out of Deathwing's chains and ultimately putting his head on a dinner plate!

And when our guild gets together at the midnight launch I want to say that ZAM is the one who got us into beta!

Rock on!

cataclysm: what I can't wait for
# Aug 02 2010 at 1:12 AM Rating: Decent
I can't wait to see all the new changes in azeroth, since Burning Crusade came out I was hoping they would bring the players back to the original zones and now they're changing them making it a even better experiance
redefinition of epic
# Aug 02 2010 at 12:55 AM Rating: Decent
At first I was sad about things changing like southshore being blighted. But then i realized that what stood before me was a new level of epic. Low level pvp would have incredible flavor because each class would get its signature spell earlier; making alts a possible pastime without a lot of dedication invested in it. Lore characters like Malfurion come to the stage and i get to square off against ragnaros in his full fury. Beyond fiery elementals, the term "dragon raid" is once again returning to its full splendor. The strongest dragon alive aside from alexstasza herself is setting the stage, and little feels more epic than fighting against a huge monstrosity of a dragon. I'm also really excited to level my current 80s to 85 and be able to feel a shift in the communities around me as even the newer players have a chance to come out on top. I want to make a druid worgen and gnome priest to try and view the new places through fresh eyes. Finally, I am truly excited for pain to be inflicted on the barrens. After traipsing up and down- and manrik's wife...It deserves to pay :)

I am most looking forward to leveling so many alts! I am an altoholic and I cry a little every time I have to level a character from 1-58 because as soon as I hit 58 I am outland bound. I have stopped leveling most of my pre 60 alts just to play them all with the new zones and quest chains. I hear blizz has made all the quests like the rest of the expansions and I can not wait to level and level and level. Of course I will have a Worgen alt and a goblin alt, but I will be leveling everything I can.

IM just a tankin pala and i think its getting kind of stale I really want to lvl a new char but i have done it so many times and im really looking forward to the new expansion. But the main reason i want to play this beta is actually to try out the new: pala skillz, dungeons, new races, new areas, and the new gameplay. Plus i have always wanted to be a tester and this could help me learn how to be a tester for computer games. and of course Worgen.

Besides the fact that I'm an old school wow player back from vanilla wow and have leveled my fair share of characters in the same old quest grind and also have the desire to make a druid on the horde side but think Taurens move to slow, I think the part I am most excited about is retiring my ground mounts and exploring Azeroth from the skies. I have also had this itch to becomes a tiny warrior but didn't have the heart to make a gnome, but now I have a goblin race to work with, ty blizz, and just to note Tauren paladin is looking pretty awesome no matter how slow they move!

Im so looking forward to play my shammy as a resto since the OOM problem has seemd to be gone. By the new Meditation which allows 50% mana restor when you are ging combat. But also Healing focus and Purification are very nice spells. I cant wait for the update now!

How the new starting areas has changed such as barrens :)
The new Instances on my way to 80 and the new raids ofcourse.
And flying in Azeroth sounds awesome!

I am ridiculously excited about playing as a worgen, seeing the new content with leveling up, new zones, the new storyline with the forsaken attacking. I can't wait to see how the new style of questing with you automatically moving on to other parts and how they implement phasing. Going to be a great time in the new expansion
things to look forward to.

Looking forward to seeing new changes to the world ive played in/ made memories in..its gonna be heartwrenching to see it obliterated but hey its time for change. cant wait to see the sooped up versions of old bosses as well as the new content, and playing as a goblin, which is one of my biggest reasons. :)

I'm really looking forward to sitting down and getting pulled in, like it was the first time playing all over again, just being in complete awe of the new aspects of the game.

I really want to see what they've done with professions. There's really no limit to what they could do, and I would love to see more "fun" items in the game, that give more utility, not just another DPS increase. I'm hoping that while streamlining some of the more number-crunchy aspects, they add some flavor (profession and item wise) to spice it up a bit.

And tauren paladins, of course.
