Cataclysm
# Jul 31 2010 at 1:38 AM Rating: Decent
What I am looking for most in Cataclysm is the revamped questing from 1-60 and the new altered zones to explore.

As for my interests in the new races, I am leaning towards the goblins. Playing an undead warrior, I'm expecting the look and feel of the Worgin starting area to resemble what I'm used to. The Goblin starting quests may feel more fresh. Plus the Horde finally get an ankle-biter race to reek havoc on the alliance during PVP encounters, lol.

I'm looking forward to how DKs are going to be played and how the new talent trees are going to work. And I am looking forward to the back story of Tauren Pallies.

And lastly, being able to fly everywhere has been what we've been talking about forever and I'm glad to see that's finally being added to the game.
A grand farewell..

It will indeed be a grand farewell with the old Azeroth..

Ive been playing this game ever since it got out, its actually a great deal years ago now. Im amazed how far the game has gotten and what it has changed into. As happy as I am with all the new content, both The Burning Crusade, and the Wrath of the Lich King, nothing really compared to the experience of the old azueroth - an experience which so far has remained mostly intact. I still wander with my old friends into Molten Core, we still gather old level 60 epics, simply for the nostalgia in it.

Now it is all about to end and I can see myself giving the Azeroth i know a fair farewell, closing the chapter, moving on - saying farewell to the old demons, and hello to the new. And thats just what Cataclysm is to me, its both an expansion to look forward to, and a time of closure.

I look forward to leveling just one more character in old Azeroth. I look forward to reaching level 60 for the last time, in the old world, before it is torn apart. And.. I look forward to starring the beast straight into its eyes, as we throw it from its throne, as we have done time and time again.

But mostly, i look forward, to unfolding the true depths of Azeroths - all the hidden secret which now unfolds.

There are several things i am looking forward to in Cataclysm:
1. The 1st thing i will do is Fly up to the peak of Black Rock Mountain and claim it FOR THE HORDE.
2. The continuing development of lore through quests and changes.
3 Upgraded Orgrimmar and the devastated Stormwind lol@Alliance
3. The Worgen...hope we can skin them after we kill them. nothing like a Worgen pelt to keep you warm on those stormy nights.

LOK'TAR OGAR, FOR THE HORDE!!

I;m excited for all the new awesome paladin changes
New Zones, Quests!
# Jul 30 2010 at 11:10 PM Rating: Decent
What I am most excited about Cataclysm is the new revamped zones and new quests Blizz made a good job on making all the old zones more dynamic and makes you want to do all the quests! :) thats the reason why I am excited for Cata!
Warlocks
# Jul 30 2010 at 10:56 PM Rating: Decent
I'm excited for many things with the new expansion but mostly with the warlock changes. Soul Shards really needed the revamp IMO and it seems a lot better than it was before. The spell Demon Soul also seems pretty sweet and hopefully I will be able to enslave some random demon to use it with. "Soul Burn" really sounds fantastic and the combinations you can make are all pretty useful. One last thing before I go is that making CoA and CoD "bane" spells will definitely amplify their usefulness.

I want to play it, I look forward to anything put out for wow. I most of enjoy art and art work done in World of warcraft. I like challenges an anything that makes me think. A game is met to be thought about then enjoy. Not just going around showing or telling everyone I got to play the game before everyone else or my fav. Telling everyone info that can just miss up ppls thought of it. Those simply are the reason I want to play Beta, to see the art and challenges
Holy Paladin

It's looking like Blizzard is finally giving me and my holy brethren some new mechanics. I'm pretty stoked to see all the changes to our healing game, and a chance to test this would mean the world to me.

Exploring the refreshed old-content will be amazing as well. Although there will be zones that I'm going to miss.

Thanks for this extraordinary opportunity ZAM and Wow-allakhazam!

Cata will be HECTIC!

I'm so pumped for the new Goblin class (Time is money friend!!), at last the Horde get a smaller class so we can be as small as gnomes and hard to click on in PvP =P. I am also looking forward to the stupidity of the Tauren paladin which i am sure will be dubbed 'Cowadin' or something equally as ridiculous.

I think that the new Azeroth that Blizzard is totally redoing will be good as well, as you don't often see many players in Azeroth (besides the main citys lol).

well my dad and I are interested and would like to play the new beta

my dad is very interested on seeing the new paly setup and wants to see how him as paly healer in cata will change and get him prepared to know what to do when its out.

I am interested on this because i have been playing as a frost dk tank my whole time Ive had it and now with it changing to blood as tank spec i also want to try out the new style of tanking and I would like to try out overpowering my tank with new talents.

I am also interested in playing the new worgen cause im die hard alliance and i always wanted ally to have a more scary, more strong looking character for alliance and worgen fits it perfect and i want to see the story cause most of stuff in wow never rly help me understand how worgen started and what happened.

As i said im die hard ally and i heard of the new bgs and i want to try it out so i can wope some horde.

lastly i want to experience to new zones as i say my final goodbye to the areas on wow now and see wats in store in cata.and i have a alt i recently made and i want to see the new low lv zones my alt will be going to.

so if u pick me plz respond or send me a email at Chris_slayer@yahoo.com

thank you :)
Goblins and Cata

I am looking forward to exploring the new world of Azeroth. I only just hit the level cap during Wotlk, and its an amazing feeling to be able to be max level when the new expansion comes out. I also and looking forward to downing Deathwing in Cata, and doing all of the new raids. I am really tired of running heroics and Icc pugs.
I can't wait to play as a midget on the horde side, gonna lava blast people in the face! I can't wait for new races and starting zones, also higher end content.
I have been trying to get a beta key since it was announced, but Blizz doesn't want to give me one, so you guys are my chance to play in the beta. Please let me play as a goblin in the beta.

P.S. Wowhead is the best
"World of Warcraft: Cataclysm" Beta key
# Jul 30 2010 at 7:33 PM Rating: Decent
The reason i look forward to Cataclysm, is the new graphic, the changes to the world.. And i also have a hope about it will be better than the burning Crusade And Wrath of The Lich King. I've been playng World of Warcraft since the Burning Crusade got released, and allways hear "WoW: Vanilla" was the best version of World of Warcraft.This kinda annoys me because i missed it! and yes.. just waiting for the new expansion, and know it will improve the game at some points, like fetching high level zones into old continents inbetwean low level zones. I allso like the new races, the underwater zones and ofcourse DEATHWING! Heard about him for very long and heard alot about him in the world of warcraft history! Gonna be Epic!

Have wanted a beta key for a while now, and saw this good chance to get my claws in it.
go cata, go cata !

Well, I'd like to get a chance to test the beta since I'm already an old lady and... I'd love to try it out before... I expire! :P

Oh and for if the emotional part doesnt work, I'd really love to test my pala out as a moving-healing-stream-totem, worth a try (or even more lol). Wonder how will the next dungeons be, the new races... y'know, I'm a explorer in the inside!

Cheers and thanks for reading!
