So, any thoughts on the almost-confirmed expansion? And below is the trailer from Blizzcon.

Well, that was a cruddy video quality and site wize, that bar was in the middle the whole time and it kept pausing.

Anyway, I hope they don't make Deathknight Alliance only. Will be sweet to change hairstyles, and get new dances. Also was wondering when we'd get access to the middle island, and that whirle pool.

Only thing is, I hope they don't release it too soon. My guild and I have only just begun Gruul's, and I'd like to be able to do all the other BC content before they give us more. I missed out on MC/BWL/ONY/AQ because no one raided when they knew BC was coming.

It might end up being Human/Blood Elf only. Maybe Undead. Humans and Blood Elves are the only races susceptable to the Curse, canonically, and it seems like a class central to the Scourge and such. But maybe not. In any case, I'd like to get up in levels a bit before it comes out.

One thing I've been wishing for was a Monk-style class. Unarmed damage and stuff. But cest le vie. Maybe one day.

Yeah, it`s bad. But it was the first available. You can now find a better one on YouTube.

Blizzard already stated the Death Knight class will be available to both faction, allthough they haven`t determined yet what races and classes will be able to use it. What is known, however, is that you will get a Death Knight character once you have reached certain objectives with your main. Unlike with regular characters, your Death Knight character will begin at a high level (speculations go from 50-70). Also, instead of a rage/energy/mana bar, you will have a blade on which you will have runes and you will be effective depending on layout of those runes. I know, sounds fun.

As for when it will be released, nothing is known yet. But people speculate Blizzard will release it around the same time as Warhammer MMO. Which will be in the first quarter of the next year. At the very least, that gives us a couple of months to enjoy the current content.

Oh and that swirly thing is the Maelstrom and it will likely be an expansion in it`s own right. Infact, prior to this announcement, most people belived the next expansion would take place in the Maelstrom.

Yeah, I just mean there are so many areas that have yet been opened, and I wanna see them.

Yeah I heard a guy say WoW is just trying to make a way to get money and compete with Warhammer when they release.

Looks pretty good, so far. But they've said that it problably wont come out until mid-late 2008. So we have plently of time.

It looks like Northrend is only gonna have 3-4 regions. I wish it were bigger. And will they be coming out with any hero classes other than death knight?

Actually, its going to have more regions. They only presented 4 regions at BlizzCon.

And no, there will be no other hero classes. Blizzard want`s to avoid a balance disaster and will release Hero Classes one by one.
