Missed that one, I was too busy picking my jaw up off the floor and slapping my face silly.

Not sure if any of ya played LOTRO. I liked playing the Rune-keeper class. Would like to see something like that in WoW.

For those of ya that not familiar with LOTRO. The Rune-keeper was a caster class that could deal damage well and heal well (lots of Hot's). Depending on your focus (for lack of a better word) is what determined how well you healed or damaged. So the more heals you did the better your healing would get. The more damage you did the better your damage would get. Some skills would not open until you had certain amount of focus also. Blah, blah blah, it was a pretty fun class to play

In a way I guess it was like the Druid in Moonkin form, but better healing.

Just read this on the forum, whut you think?

Blues confirmed...
they do not plan revamping Azeroth,
World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> Blizzard read please, read and comment people
they won't be making Azeroth flight free,
World of Warcraft (en) Forums -> Will we ever be able to fly..........
or giving gnomes healers.
World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> I want a Gnome priest. Or any Gnome healer.

This was in last month, recently. I doubt they'd put up something in such a short notice, or clearly lie into the face of customers. Blues said this stuff will not happen anytime soon.

Also, Thousand Needles flooding with water, speculation from the Ulduar screenshot - that does not show the future, flooding Azeroth, it shows THE PAST, back when the canyon (Thousand Needles) and the lake (Shimmering flats) was full of water. Isn't it odd nothing is missing from eastern Barrens or Tanaris, both so low lands? Fake again.

All new class combinations are ridiculous and most of them had not even a hint in the lore before. (Tauren paladins?) Nor does Blizz have any reason to put them in. Even stuff like Dwarven shamans that did happen the lore before are wrong, because it's the Ironforge dwarves in the Alliance, not the Wildhammers, that had shamans. Making Wildhammers start a continent away from their homeland would be ridiculous, as are all the new combinations. Fake again.

Barrens being two zones, that's why the new zeppelin: It was only done because the very tiring run for Horde. Think of it as our SW Harbour, it just saves time. Fake again.

And if you think with clear head, Blizzcon is near, people hunger for information, so MMO-champion put up a duck article with ridiculous stuff to attract people who ,,What the f--? I must check that!" and visit the site. And they reached their goal, seeing so much people already taking an internet article as solid cash.
MMO-champion claims to "have reliable sources", which just proves that this is fake.

Articles are not half-fake. The whole article is a big duck. We'll probably get goblin and worgen on whichever side, but that's it.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet. <The More You Know title tune>

we will find out at the weekend, i paid for the live blizzard blizzcon stream shame it takes 6 weeks to get your grunty murloc marine pet tho!

Did you even read the messages you posted?

Not a single one of them dismisses the claims.

They say they simply can not PATCH an update to the "old world" in, an expansion is completely different to a patch.

They said the Gnomes CURRENTLY are not suited for healing.

The one discussing flying in Azeroth simply states it's not doable with the world as it is at the moment.

If anything, they all seem to be hinting towards the expansion not taking it away like you seem to think so.

[Paul1337noob]

Of Course i read it, and was simply asking for thoughts.

as it is my thoughts are
Your right they dont 100% dismiss it
Yet at the same time they are not hinting at them, and especially not saying that they will be in cataclsym.


And to me if everything in Cataclysm does happen and it is the next expansion all i can say is damn blizzard are lazy, and are just looking for easy money

-new class combinations
Little work, its basicly all there just needs tweeking to make the changes happen

-new races
if they are goblin and worgen, the skins and animation are already there these just need the class combinations set up and availability for use by players

-phasing
looks to me like this is there idea of fixing capacity issues

Like tim stated last night, this also slowly breaks away the idea of it being an MMO

-making use of unreleased stuff
Its there but not used >.< all they gotta do is fix any bugs and maybe code a bit

-onyxia
If youve checked out the PTR this is basicly the exact same Old raid just buffed for level 80's


as for deathwing and azshara
i dont go into lore and didnt play vanilla or BC
i have no idea whuts going on with that

[DarkDude98]

The Goblins and Worgens would have to be essentially completely remade, new skins, new animations new everything it's not as simple as you make it sound.

A lot of the unreleased content is "new" and was just not in the original so they'll be doing a lot of this from scratch. The whole redesign of the "old world" is not as simple as replacing textures, by the sounds of it it's going to be completely different and almost totally remade.

Then I'm sure instances etc. will be updated, new graphics, new bosses etc.

My guess is basically that instead of releasing one huge expansion they're splitting the next expansion in two, hopefully charging less for each. This gives a gradual update to the game and gives them a chance to improve certain things that might otherwise be missed if they put it all in at the time.

Hmm did i not read blizzard saying that Never we could move to PvP realms?
did they say once we will never be able To cross factions On PVP realms?
did they say they never lower the cost of epic flying mounts?
the list goes on

as for races they did it in BC

I close my case
