Some upcoming changes and Cataclysm updates
So, WoW's new expansion is coming out, probably this summer, with some fairly world-changing additions. Classes are being re-vamped, zones are being completely re-done and changed, and the whole world is going to be different. So, the reason I'm posting about it? There's a few, actually:
1. There's going to be submarines. There's already zeppelins and flying machines and trains and such, but now there will also be submarines to take you to your destinations across continents.
2. Some of the major changes in Cataclysm are going live before the expansion is available. In upcoming patches, Allies will be able to take back Gnomeregan, and Hordies will be able to do some Echo Isles stuff, with trolls and such (not goblins, like I originally thought). These events will likely be available for some time leading up to the expansion, but it's unclear whether or not they'll become some Caverns of Time thing when the world-breaking actually occurs.
3. I really really really want for Blizzard to re-design the player character models before Cataclysm comes out. I would even settle for a redesign when it comes out. It just seems so important now that the whole world is suddenly going to be a higher resolution, and new armor just gets spiffier and spiffier. A man can dream.
