Im super excited about playing as a Goblin and experiencing the new world, doing all the new quests, seeing all the changed zones and all the new zones. Plus getting some of the awesome new mounts.


If i don't receive a beta ill kill all the gnomes in Azeroth :)

Cataclysm Beta Test!

For me, a few things stand out as being extremely important in the new expansion.

1) i HAVE to start an all worgen guild call "DIE TEAM EDWARD! LOL" we will run the blood wing of icecrown citadel every week whilst yelling "AHAHHA WE ARE THE BETTER MYTHICAL RACE OF SUPER-HUMANS" in trade chat. Followed by us proceeding to take our in-game shirts off. (you can take your shirt off IRL as well if you like) and /flirting with the dead body of the Blood Queen Lana'thel.

2) PvP'ing the crap out of every moving thing with my hunters new aspect of the fox. running AND casting steady shot?! many people will die by my hand. ESPECIALLY lowbies in the new gnome area. I LIVE for punting gnomes.

and finally... 3) Making an array of alts with all the new class/race combinations. OMG tauren paladins!? Dwarf Shamans?!... undead hunters... (soo cool). by the way, i must state that in all the time i have played world of warcraft (four years), i have NEVER made a gnome... maybe i can be tempted this time :P

if i get magically lucky and do get picked for the beta test. the first thing ill do is go round all the new places and test the maps! im going to try and get on top of everything :P I LOVE finding glitches and bugs :D

hopefully im not too late by posting this an hour and a half before the closing date!
lotsa love. egglay. x

What I am looking forward to is the rated BG and not really needing an Arena team my schedule never allowed me to really hold an arena team, also flying in the old world I very much look forward to diving down on Alli and taking them out aswell as over Alli cities. DEATH FROM ABOVE! will be fun :]

I am most definetly looking forward to exploring all of the zones and to see what is going to happen to all the zones and see all the new ones that they are making. I also am looking for war too playing as the new races and there beginning quests. I think i am gonig to enjoy the goblins the most. And i would love to see the new quest chains in the new zones and old ones.
Teen Wolf baby!

The changes to mah class! QQ moar newbcakes! Hah. But no seriously and its been said before I'm sure, but I'm most looking forward to rolling a Worgen. I'm so looking forward to the Worgen race that I'm rerolling my Death Knight, Hunter, and Warrior into Worgen as well as planning a new Worgen rogue as well.

I can't wait to level one up and see Darius Crowley Brofist cleave his way through Feral Worgen and masses of Undead and bask in his awesomeness for a while. I can't wait to experience the first time my Gilnean wolf's out (Teen Wolf reference baby!) and heads down to the old Gym to play some Basketball, I mean heads down to the battlefield to rip up some undead. I can't wait to run around as a huge, feral, beastial, brutal werewolf ripping undead apart in revenge for their invasion of my homeland.

In short, I can't wait for Azeroth to answer the call of the Worgen howling at the moon as they run rampant across Silverpine forest and claim their revenge on the horrible Forsaken for their transgression against Gilneas.

As a player of over 5 years I look forward to returning home to Azeroth! Over the past few years I have seen other worlds and the chill of the Lich King's Throne.

I look forward to the new races and the changes to the old zones. Especially the new water effects! So ready to see all the changes I can barely stand it.

Mainly as I mentioned at first. I have been homesick for Azeroth and miss Stormwind and Ironforge being the central hub for players to socialize.

What I'm looking forward to is Gamon. That's right! Hopefully he gets an upgrade and runs around randomly one hitting everyone who killed and looted him, and yells or laughs at you after he hits ya for over 9000.

I want my trolls to have their own city and the old rivalry of the horde and alliance come back to life which is going to be awesome.

And the rockets you can drive in azshara cant wait to wipe out.

I can't wait to try out the new leveling zones and worgen because worgen look so cool! I never really liked the Barrens but in cataclysm i would like to try it because it's split in half and looks interesting.
