Enormo-trailer ahoy for World Of Warcraft. We’ve got the full thing posted below, along with two fly-through trailers for the zones of Gilneas and The Lost Isles. We get a look at some of the changes to existing zones that have taken place during the cataclysm, as well as some of the new features and classes. Gobbos, and wolf-dudes, obviously, but also some of the new monsters, dungeons, and progression stuff. Oh, and Deathwing the ebil dragon. He’s not happy.

How incredibly unfair and nefarious of you, Blizzard. I was never interested in your game, and you knew that … oh yes, you knew.
I was put off by your napkin-borne writing (of which better quality is seen in the kind of books one might purloin at an airport gift shop), the fear of Azeroth’s semen seas, and the knowledge that every aspect of the lore contradicts every other bloody aspect if one stops to think about it for even but a second.
You knew, you callous fiends, you miscreants, you … you scheming blackguards!
So you had to go and add the one thing I simply can’t resist, something I’m crazy about: sapient, cultured werewolves. Fuzzy serial-killers bore me, it’s just cheap monster mash material for the braindead goggle boxists, and thus a huge turn off. But a reasoning, rational race of werewolves?
Worgens can even take on a cosmetic human form, and their transformation to from human to Worgen is surprisingly well done and visually pleasing. So I concede, I’m beaten, and I’m interested…
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Damn you Blizzard, damn you to hell.
Might have to blow the dust off my priest when this comes out and regroup with my mates, make or join a casual guild for a few months until, like always, we get fed up again. That’s not a bad thing, actually, given how demanding the game can be and it has always been fun while it lasted. I hope they get more out of PvP this time, the possibilities are endless and i’m somewhat disappointed about what they have come up with so far.
Not to mention their awesome Victorian-styled starting area, Wulf!
I thought Alliance were the bad guys…
@Stupoider
*whine.* Don’t remind me.
I’m actually amazed at how wonderful the Worgen appear to be as a whole, and how very unlike Blizzard (a good thing) the whole Worgen scenario is. I’m actually rather looking forward to having a romp around a night-time Victorian setting as a werewolf.
And I got to see their mounts today and they look pretty nifty, and their mounts imply that the Worgen gift/curse is actually not limited to humans, and that it’s capable of spreading to animals too. I won’t spoil too much, though.
I’m still holding out for Pandaren someday.
Lovely. If they’d bothered to include even half of this stuff in the last expansion instead of just pulling our pricks with the same tired ass gimmicks for an easy cash-in, I might still give a flaming fuck.
Another fantastic trailer again from Blizz as usual! Playing a worgen druid sounds crazy awesome and would actually get me to play Alliance, and I hope wow gold farming will be a lot less tedious this time, do you think those flying mounts would help?
yah,yeah,yeah ….. we’ve heard the sales pitch …… grind to level 85 for 40 days of your existence ….. and then play the game
Very excited about the new WoW expansion. I think it’s gonna be a huge. Revamping the original content is a stroke of genius by Blizzard and I’d love to see other MMOs do the same thing.
Might want to delete the thinly veiled gold farming site advertisement from mr. billyandrews there.
I hate to admit that this is actually a really cool expansion and changing of the game.
I will never admit that Burning Crusade wasn’t a piece of shit though.
I resubbed for BC and WotLK, so I’ll probably resub for this one too. I usually just stay for a few months though, because for some reason I get bored with the end-game content. Maybe it’s because of the packed schedules of the average raiding.
I think I’d prefer to have 5-man instances with approximately the same escalation of gear and difficulty as (and in place of) raid instances.
*of the average raiding guild.
Oops.
@billyandrews
Sod off.
Goblins don’t look as cool as the WAR ones ;) and no squigs! pff no point.
I’m waiting for an MMO to get away from the “go to town, find lots of people with quests, do quests for people, ding” which has become almost as passe as the “get a group, find a camp of monsters, grind them till you ding” that the last generation did. It’s so bad I even have issues playing games like GTA4 which have a superb sandbox but still put the plot as “go to hideout, do missions for people, change hideout, do more missions” with little time to enjoy the sandboxyness of the game.
Maybe I’ve just gotten too cynical to see it as a story instead of just a list of tasks thinly strung together.
Uh, that starting area for the new Alliance race looks pretty much identical to the Victorian art style in Fable 2. :(
Ah well. Must be tough to constantly churn out new areas for the grinder.
