I beat Blizzard to announcing the secret guest - the company was not happy about that.  Apparently I type faster than whoever was manning the keyboard for them.

    Interesting shots there. I like the new leveling zone changes, I must’ve missed that on the stream. WPL at 40? That’ll be weird.
    And god I hope silithus isn’t part of the major 55-60 plan. That area always sucked.

    I bet Sili will have a good chunk to do with the new leveling. They did say that vanilla factions will play a big role in the x-pac. remember Silithus is loaded with two type of mobs that cataclysm is all about, elementals and twlight’s hammer

    This is going to be start from scratch for the add-on developers

    These are some great pics. I hope i will be able to go next year. That is if the tickets wont sell out in 52 seconds(which will probably happen anyway). lol

    Shala:
    Yeah, I just hope there’s other leveling options. I remember being there during the AQ stuff and I never want to be there again.

    Maybe with the revamp, maybe it’ll suck less. ;)

    Where are all the videos, I know Juggy has been streaming; but where is everyone else?

    Rock n’ Roll Racing! I loved that game :-D

    o god. i can’t wait to be a Titan, so to speak! damn 10 extra glyphs. and the talents look kinda neat too. but i wish they had guild talent calculators or at least a full overview of the talents so we can decide which ones would be good for us
