Hm... major characters in WoW? Sylvannas Windrunner is fairly prominent... but not really the same caliber as Arthas or Illidan.

Finally hunters are getting a much deserved nerf, however, I said the same thing about the ret paladin nerf patch, and they are still very much OP. It did very little in fact, so I'm a bit skeptical about the nerfs they posted, still, good to see they are least recognize hunters as being OP atm.
Now if they only got off their asses and finally noticed just how GAY rogues are at the moment with that fucking Honor Among Thieves. They're getting 6/7k dps by essentially just spamming Eviscerate. |
Heh. The elemental overhaul worked out great. My ele shammy that I spent two months gearing is now leading dps... everywhar. But at the same time, I'm not doing 5k damage and crap, so I'm still not an op mage. :(

I am new to the game since just before Christmas...
Dawnbringer Server: Leorin ~ Lvl 46 Human Paladin ~ Alliance SkyLancer ~ Lvl 22 Night Elf Hunter ~ Alliance I am the GM of a guild now BTW, It's called WE R HELPERS if anyone wants to join. A lame name, but wasn't my choice! ;) |

I keep trying to play, and can't bring myself to do it anymore. I wanna say they made the game too easy? The 10man stuff is fun, but once you've done it for a month or so, it's over.
I loved Naxx back when it was impossibly hard. Now it's a joke. I kind of wish they had made it harder to make it worthwhile. The guild I'm in is nowhere near impressive and we finished it off by the second week it was out. |
Current raidning in WotLK = ENTRY LEVEL. It was designed to be "easy" to garner more interest in raiding. Ulduar is supposed to be a notch up in difficulty, but I'm sure those guilds who don't sleep will have that cleared in 1-2 weeks and then have their hand stuck out wanting more while waiting for 3.2 to bring out the new raid.
|
I just gotta come in here and say that Sylvanas wasn't a night elf and she never was one. She was a high elf. Her model was a night elf because Blizzard is fucking lazy and that's that.
No, I don't care how old that post was. |
I don't know, I have been playing two months now and am taking a slight vacation from it. too many other games to play as of the moment. That said, I am not bored yet, but the lvling takes much longer now! ;)
Anyway, if anyone wants to meet up for a game, let me know! |

There are actually a number of high elves marauding around in the game that most people take for granted. There are a few of them, in Allerian Stronghold, one of which actually says, if I recall correctly, "Don't worry, <race>, I'm a high elf, not a blood elf. I won't suck the mana out of you." You can still find a few in the old cities, I think... The high elves are still around. ;) |

What does it mean? Well, Wrath of the Lich King was trademarked a few weeks before the Blizzcon, we're not going to jump to conclusions here but WoWWiki will most likely give you a few things to think about on their Great Sundering article. The Great Sundering, also known as simply the Sundering or the Cataclysm was a world event which reshaped Azeroth approximately 10,000 years ago at the end of the War of the Ancients. This event was triggered due to the Well of Eternity being destroyed. Prior to the Sundering, there was only one continent on Azeroth, referred to as Kalimdor. In the catastrophic explosion, eighty percent of the land mass was destroyed leaving behind the major continents and scattered islands that are known today: Northrend, Kezan, the Eastern Kingdoms, and the remnant still referred to as Kalimdor. The site of the Well of Eternity became a swirling vortex of power known as the Maelstrom. A few days ago, one of our user also spotted a test server named "Maelstrom 3 Test" in the US server list (it only showed up for a few seconds, see This post). If the expansion is indeed The Maelstrom/Cataclysm, we can expect to see a few things here: * Sargeras and/or Deathwing * Azshara * Goblins! Rumors that the capital will be: Kezan Goes in conjunction with the Expansion list released in 2003 when WoW was in development: Draenor Set Azuremyst Isle - 1 to 10 Bloodmyrk Isle - 10 to 20 Eversong Forest - 1 to 10 Quel'thalas - 10 to 20 Hellfire Peninsula - 58 to 62 Zangarmarsh - 60 to 64 Terokkar Forest - 61 to 65 The Deadlands - 63 to 67 Nagrand - 64 to 68 Blade's Edge Mountains - 66 to 70 Netherstorm - 67 to 70 Shadowmoon Valley - 69 to 70 - Northrend Set <--- Where we are now Borean Tundra - 67 to 70 Howling Fjord - 67 to 70 Dragonblight - 69 to 72 Grizzly Hills - 70 to 73 Crystalsong Forest - 72 to 75 Zul'drak - 73 to 76 Sholazar Basin - 75 to 79 Storm Peaks - 76 to 80 Icecrown Glacier - 78 to 80 - Maelstrom Set <--- Next expansion Gilneas - 77 to 80 Grim Batol - 78 to 81 Kul Tiras - 79 to 82 Kezan - 81 to 86 Tel Abim - 83 to 85 Zandalar - 84 to 87 Plunder Isle - 86 to 88 The Broken Isles - 87 to 90 The Maelstrom - 89 to 90 - Plane Set Pandaria - 1 to 10 Hiji - 10 to 20 Wolfenhold - 1 to 10 Xorothian Plains - 10 to 20 The Green Lands - 88 to 91 The Dying Paradise - 91 to 94 The Emerald Nightmare - 94 to 97 The Eye of Ysera - 97 to 100 Deephome - 88 to 91 Skywall - 91 to 94 The Abyssal Maw - 94 to 97 The Firelands - 97 to 100 - Legion Set K'aresh - 96 to 99 Argus Meadowlands - 97 to 100 Mac'Aree - 99 to 100 Maw of Oblivion - 100+ The Burning Citadel - 100+++ * I should note that its all a huge rumor mill at this point. But provided that list is, in fact, real, we'll find out at Blizzcon |
If the Maelstrom is the next expansion then I will start to believe that list, until then it could be purely coincidental or an outline.
In other news, they are finally going through with the "Faction Swap". You can take on your characters and basically swap them to the other faction. Detail are scarce now but they will come as it gets developed more. Everyone on the WoW forums are claiming that this is "gamebreaking" and much like everything else they bitch about...they are wrong and overreacting. I mean it certainly makes no sense, but who cares at this point. |
Well, just to bump a thread for a game that no one else plays but me.
I'm currently still achievement gathering because I've nothing better to do. Going for 'The Exalted' and 'The Insane' titles right now. So far, I'm at the part where I'm honored with the Bloodsail Pirates. After a few weekends of casually grinding goblin rep, I'm now able to walk into Gadgetzan as a neutral person again. I'm still quite hated in every other place. But, it's only a matter of time! Then, I have to grind all the other crap factions. Blah. |
Non-confirmed by Blizzard, but.... here goes:
Re-editing from what MMO-Champion re-edited World of Warcraft: Cataclysm World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is the next expansion for World of Warcraft. Dark and forgotten threats that have long stayed out of sight have finally arrived on our shores, unleashing a cataclysmic event upon Azeroth and now preparing more nefarius plans to take it back. Level Cap The level cap in the next expansion will be slightly lower than expected this time around; 85. This suggests Blizzard wants more room for expansions before hitting the level 100 cap. With less leveling to do (along with the revamped leveling listed below likely to increase the speed and ease of leveling), leveling a new race remains appealing for new and existing players alike. Leveling from 80-85 should be a much bigger deal, the idea is to make sure that gaining a level really means something and doesn't make you feel like you just have 4 more levels to go. New Classes Cataclysm doesn't introduce any new classes to the game. Instead, Blizzard have offered more race and classes combinations to players. The Some of these have alreadly been datamined from the 3.2.2 Test Realms. The An Injured Colleague quest and it's new Night Elf counter-part help to introduce the lore for these new race and class combinations, so we can probably expect to see more of these for some of the less traditional ones. * Human Hunter * Orc Mage * Night Elf Mage * Dwarf Mage * Blood Elf Warrior * Dwarf Shaman * Undead Hunter * Tauren Paladin * Tauren Priest * Gnome Priest * Troll Druid New Races The events of the cataclysm has caused two new races to seek new allies. The Goblins for the Horde and the Worgen for the Alliance. Goblins Deathwing once again sought the services of the goblins, as slaves. Unable to refuse such an offer, the goblins were enslaved by him. A large group have resisted however. With their previous homes devastated by the cataclysm, they escaping to an island off the coast of The Barrens. As they strive to recover, they come across an Orc captured on an Alliance ship and rescue him. The Orc turns out to be none other than Thrall himself, and in return offers the Goblins a place within the Horde. These events are carried out in a quest line, allowing players to experience first-hand the reasons behind the Goblins' shift from neutrality. Worgen The cataclysm has cracked open the Greymane Wall, finally revealing what has happened to the kingdom of Gilneas and its citizens. With the Worgen curse taken hold, they have found a partial cure, allowing thme to retain their Human minds even when transformed. Venturing forth from Gilneas and seeking help from the Alliance, they have decided to join them, to combat the new threats of Cataclysm. Gilneas will make extensive use of the phasing system (much like the Death Knight starting area), to show what happened while the kingdom was cut off from the rest of the world and lead up to present day. Worgens will have two forms, a Worgen form and a Human form. Players will be able to customise the look of both forms. New Content Cataclysm will be the first expansion not to introduce a new continent, instead making use of previously unreleased zones and revamping existing ones. Classic Azeroth Revamp A cataclysmic event caused by Deathwing and Azshara will change the face of Azeroth as we know it. Most of the new content for Cataclysm will take the form of a revamped Azeroth, taking advantage of newer additions to WoW such as phasing and daily quests. Most of the quests and mobs in the classic zones will also be redesigned to make leveling less painful. With the revamp, a greater narritive and sense progression will be offered to players. Some zones and dungeons will change drastically to fit this, e.g., * The Barrens will be split into two separate zones of two different level bands. * Azshara will become a low level (~10-20) zone. * Some of the zones like the Thousand Needles will be flooded. * Durotar is wrecked and apparently Orgrimmar could be destroyed. A new Orc city is rebuilt over the course of the expansion. * Gnomeregan will be part of the expansion as well and gnomes might be able to reclaim their capital. (The last part is still unconfirmed) * Wailing Caverns will be become a lush tropical area as a result of the druid's magic. * The Blackrock Spire will erupt and a new version of Blackrock Mountains will be available, apparently Ragnaros will be back too. In the aftermath of the cataclysm, and the new conflicts on the horizon relief efforts can be found in many zones and new open PvP areas similar to Lake Wintergrasp. Flying in Azeroth Part of the redesign of the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor is the introduction of flying to the two continents, allowing access to many new areas and quicker travelling across the large continents. Classic Dungeon Revamp Redesigning Onyxia's Lair in Patch 3.2.2 was just the first step. As most of the leveling will take place in revamped areas of Azeroth, so too will the dungeons, allowing players to use them to level from 80 to 85. Unreleased Zones & Dungeons With the addition of flying mounts to Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms and the redesign of many zones, most of the previously unreachable or incomplete zones will now be made available to players. This is where most of the new content from 80 to 85 will take place. Some of these are, * Hyjal (present) * Gilneas - The Worgen starting Zone. * Uldum It is unclear if the old Goblin locations such as Kezan and Undermine will be included in Cataclyms with the revelation of the goblins' plight, but several new islands have also been risen from the seas by the events of Cataclysm, some on the backs of giant sea turtles and whales, with the addition of several underwater zones. Characters and Events Deathwing Deathwing the Destroyer / Neltharion the Earth-Warder will play a major role in Cataclysm. Having been driven mad by Old God whisperings and turning against his own kind only to be fail in his attempts, Deathwing has sunk into the shadows. While the Horde and the Alliance were busy fighting back the Burning Legion only to then be beset with the Scourge, he has been lurking and moving things into place. After Lady Sinestra's failed attempts to create a Twilight Dragonflight, he again retreated to Grim Batol and succeeded where she failed. With his results seen in the Obsidian Sanctum, he has finally created the supreme Dragonflight he sought and plans to unleash it upon the world. But what of the Old Gods' sway over him? Azshara Queen Azshara will also play a major part in Cataclysm. Unknown to many mortal races, long forgotten by others, and believe to be dead by her own kind, she has not been dormant in depths of the Maelstrom. Having those around her transformed by the Old Gods into Naga after her failure in the War of the Ancients, she has become far more powerful and a greater threat than she once was. Not content with just Nazjatar and the depths of the sea, Azshara seeks to reclaim power and reign once again. With the true plan behind Lady Vashj's support of Illidan remaining a mystery we do not know what hand Azshara has yet played. The big question remains, is she now serving her "saviors", the Old Gods? The Cataclysm I'm still not sure who is the true end boss of Cataclysm is, but the cataclysm appears to have been caused by attempts to incantation to summon extremely powerful beings using an ancient incantation by Deathwing and Azshara. They're both very powerful, but the cataclysm itself suggests something more powerful is behind it, perhaps their shared past of Old God influence? The Guardian of Tirisfal Malfurion Stormrage will be returning to Azeroth to aid in the creation of the new Guardian of Tirisfal - Thrall! Med'an's role in these events is currently unknown. The New (New) Horde Thrall will hand over the leadership of the Horde to Garrosh Hellscream, while he serves as a coordinator for both the Horde and Alliance forces in and effort to combat the new threat of the Naga and Black Dragonflight. Without Thrall to keep Garrosh in check, he declares open war on the Alliance. In the political upheaval Cairne Bloodhoof is implicated as a traitor to the Horde and murdered by Garrosh. Cairne's son Baine takes over as the new Tauren chieftan. This could explain why Baine was removed from the game in Patch 3.2.2, you can find more information about this in Ahmo Thunderhorn - replacement for Baine Bloodhoof? Grains of salt until we find more out at Blizzcon. Just sayin'. |
While they may decide to revamp some of the old Azeroth stuff (and long overdue as well), I'm calling bullshit on this. It sounds to me more like the wishful thinking of a bunch of creative minds.
I mean Troll Druids and Dwarf Shamans? Come on now. |

As for adding new classes to races that don't have them, they have done it before so it's not unheard of and I expect them to do it eventually just because it's easier to keep newbs happy than veterans. |
Damn, this expansion actually sounds pretty cool. I remember being pissed about the Greymane Wall blocking off the werewolf kingdom back when I played WoW, so I'd love to finally see what's beyond there. Unfortunately, getting back into WoW after all these years is the last thing I need right now even if it didn't require buying two (three?) expansions to do it.

As for the new expansion, well the only likely thing from all that is the Worgen and Goblins becoming playable races, the rest sounds like speculation and wishful thinking (As nice as it would be). I expect more developments during/after Blizzcon. |
||||||
Yeah, I remember seeing a video of that glitch back in the day. I meant it was disappointing that there was no way to get back there since they hadn't programmed anything into the game for it. It would've been a lot more interesting than some of the desert areas.
|
Unless they phased the content like they have in WLK, I think that 'expansion speculation' is the worst idea ever. I'd love to see vanilla WoW fucked up like no other, but to have it all messed up like that makes no sense.
And, those classes make no sense whatsoever. Night Elf Mages? Right. |
