Imagine the Barrens. Now imagine a huge fucking lava pit right in the middle. Imagine Silithus with plants.


.... actually, fuck me this looks incredible. I just really dislike what they did with the classes and making the worgen a playable race will probably require some fiddling around story and gameplay-wise, but meh.

If Bethesda release a Fallout MMO then my days of going outside are over. What deters me from playing WoW is that it looks so fucking lame.

I would start a worgen alt when the expansion comes out, but I think new players will die out fairly quickly with this expansion... I mean, it's bad enough getting camped by lv 80s... now you'll get camped by 80s that can fly around at breakneck speeds to camp all areas around Azeroth, thereby killing any hopes of questing/leveling/enjoying the game. Not to mention having to walk all the way around the zone because you can't walk through the pits.

Pro tip #32145: You can play on PvE servers to avoid unnecessary ganking.

Besides, most of the assholes play games like Eve and Age of Conan, not WoW.

Also, Horde get Southshore? After all the fighting I personally, as well as many members of my guild have done, and still do, HORDE get Southshore? This is a travesty... Southshore is Alliance territory on my server. Horde can suck a dick if they make the mistake of going to Tarren Mill.

ownd. u mad?

Punch him in the dick.

it's really confusing when you talk about trolls relating to wow

is he a troll or....a troll?

Oh yeah I thought you meant the troll race. I dunno why you'd have mentioned that though

Actually after watching the trailer I am pretty convinced that blizzard is yanking our chains because even the narrator's tone is ridiculous.

That narrator sounds a lot like the guy who does thrall's voice (90% sure that's the guy) who iirc is the guy in charge of warcraft lore as well

Anybody else having instance loading problems on their servers?  I've just spent the last half hour throwing myself at a portal and I'm sick of it.

Been like that on my server since the WotLK came out. But it got really bad when the patch came out and everyone got hard on for Emblems of Conquest. They say they're fixing them slowly, server by server though. Some already have it and it can take months to get all servers fixed.

I doubt the really big servers will ever get it fixed though.

I logged on last night for the 1st time because of all these changes coming. Seeing the original world get morphed by a cataclysmic event is something new to this genre, and since the Warcraft world has had a few of these events already (The great sundering!!!!) it'll be cool to be able to kind of experience this first hand. Since they're revamping the questing in all the zones too and condensing them, I'm almost tempted to roll an alt when this comes out.

I didn't see them posted yet but MMO-Champion had pics of these new systems up and here's some links to the important ones if you missed them:

Jesus I can already see it

Worgens will be the new belfs

and then people will QQ

I can already see it

Worgens the new belfs? How? I don't see any "homosexual" or "femine" things in Worgen...

They are furries though.

over 40% of the servers are already upgraded to support additional instances.
