Personally I bought SC2 from the digital download option and have only used my world of warcraft discs once to reinstall….every reinstall or new install since then has been digital download of WoW. I think thats the route I’ll go for this expansion as well as long as I can “preload” and unlock the day of release instead of paying for and having to download for another 10h to play.

Also thanks for the post link

So the new troll (and gnome) starting areas will be up before Cata? Main reason I’m rolling another troll is to see the starting area.

Okay, so I haven’t missed someone telling me what the Shattering is yet? I haven’t been active since January waiting on the expansion, but wondering if it’s worth signing up a month or so in advance of Cat to watch all the kewlness happen.

Ofcouse Cataclysm will be the online game of the year! Actualy of the next year! 2011 hehe.

I am thinking to buy it online from Blizz store so i can be able to play just a few mins after the release, even if i think blizz servers will go down pretty fast like happen on SC2.

Anyway i cant wait to level up my DK since i got practice from Beta servers, i just ppl to forget mount hyjal and go str8 to the most amazing zone i’ve seen till now.. Vashj’ir!!

This has been confirmed – everything in the revamped zones and attached to the existing races will be free to everyone, even if they only own the original WoW. The downside for newbies is that Goblins and Worgen will require Cataclysm, which requires TBC and Wrath, so you’ll have to pony up for all three expansions to try the new races.

Good move by Blizz, in my view.

I’ve seen the beginnings of the World Event on the PTR (haven’t played through the whole questline, as I want to be surprised), I don’t know how long they can stretch that out, and I have a feeling that raiding current/old content with new abilities may not work out too well. They’re going to have to keep us occupied for somewhere around 2 months after 4.0.1 goes live, this is a good way to do that I think.

Zombie>>

From the Beta test all that Raid gear will be replaced by 82nd level greens. So dont worry about it. unlike Wrath and TBC top end raid gear everyone will be on a level playing field.

Plenty of time to get those last two levels to 80 on my Death Knight then, although I guess I’ll not have much time to run Heroics though and I dread continuing my tanking only to get into those first Cata instances as a tank with people fully raid geared doing more DPS than I can possibly hold threat from with my lovely blue gear.

There was a sneak peak at part 2 of the event which involved Elementals invading cities, and beforehand players having to barricade the city, then defend against them (sounds like a WoW version of Tower Defence)

The upside to this is that if you don’t want to participate you don’t have to.

The downside to this is, no-one can make you participate.
