Cataclysm Closed Beta Key Contest!Follow

The thing I'm really looking forward to the most is to return to all the old lands, and be able to fly and see them. It'll be a shame to not see them NOW flying, but at least have an idea. Fly over Stormwind would be awesome. I've ALWAYS wanted to click the huge bell in Booty Bay. I remember seeing someone do it in Live, before BC, and I've never been able to do it, even after trying for hours... I know just wanting that is kind of dumb, but it's always bugged me to do.

Heroic Dead Mines. I'm sure everyone wants to do this too, and they should. I used to run Dead Mines before BC from the level I could, until it was all grey to me.

The graphics. Each game set has gotten better and better with the graphics. I'm not talking about how "good" they are, more so how cool they look. For example the Fire Twilight Ascendant. It just looks amazing. Also how much more intricate the builds are becoming.

The new talent changes. Paladins and Warlocks are going to be even moar OP. QQ moar newbs.

I can't wait to play the Worgen. Everyone else will undoubtedly be playing one as well but that'll just make instance runs faster. Not to mention the new graphics. Been keeping my fingers crossed for a long time to see how the water will be changed.

New zones, new races, new dungeons, it will be a whole new WoW!

I'm looking forward to riding the giant dinosaur on a rocket shark whilst firing laser beams, and accurately assessing the epicness of it.

Ok serious non-serious face now, i'm really looking forward to how they're proceed with the lore and all, I mean, Ragnaros is attacking the Great Tree, we get to pwn some elemental lords for whoknows why. Atleast we can finally beat the hell out of Deathwing and make him pay for his deeds. And i also really want to make a campfire, to be amazed by its new fiery texture(Wooh!). Last but not least i just want to do the thriller dance as a mini-worgen! :D

I am actually looking forward to three things....

1) Leveling a Worgen Druid. I tend to enjoy Human characters the most and have always regretted not having a druid. I think the lore around the Worgen is perfect, and I can't wait!

2) New Stormwind. As a human character, I see Stormwind as my home city, and always defend it when Horde attack. The new Stormwind looks amazing and the thought of flying around the city sends chills down my spine!

3) Fire Mage!! I have been a fire mage since this game was released. I lasted through frost dominance for pvp, through the "you have to be arcane to raid" phase, and am rocking strong in fire now. The new fire talenst and spells excite me, unlike most mages it seems. I look forward to burning things daily :)

The part that I am most excited about is all the new zones.

Leveling alts is the one thing I hate most about WoW and the main reason I have been playing my main druid for 3+ years.

However, after learning about what Blizzard is doing for Cataclysm, I have never been more excited about anything in WoW. The new changes, the new zones, the new designs, the new quests, everything is NEW. It is like WoW 2.0.

The first thing I would do, if I were to win, is start a new goblin hunter and just enjoy every single quest as if it was a new game.


It is the single most exciting part about the whole entire expansion. Being able to run through brand new worlds is going to be ridiculously fun and it will finally make me like doing the one thing I hate most about WoW; leveling an alt.

Thx!

I personally can't wait to make a tauren paladin, and run thru stuff crusader storming and war stomping everything in my path.

I am extremely excited about the upcoming expansion to our cherished WoW. I believe that despite some of the drastic changes, Cataclysm will bring to the table many new and exciting things. I personally am thrilled about the revamping of the old world in Azeroth. The makeover of the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor is, frankly, long overdue. This will make leveling alts be a new and exciting challenge once again (a task that had become arduous and incessantly repetitive). One of my favorite changes-to-come is the fact that some of the "special" places in the old world, such as Uldum in the southern reaches of Tanaris. Places like this and Grim Batol and the Ironforge Airfield have always spiked interest and intrigue from players like myself; to finally see them put to use is like a dream come true. I know that I plan on spending the first week or so just exploring the new changes as best I can before even thinking of leveling my characters.

I would also like to mention that the changes to the class talent trees has the potential to both drastically change the "feel" of characters as you level them and add the possibility of further changes to character dymanics, in my opinion, much easier than when we used the much larger talent trees. I was getting tired of new talents myself, partially because we had so many to choose from already (which made leveling a bit tricky for new players) and partially because the new talents seemed to stray a bit from the character's original design (not that this was always a bad thing in itself).

Now... if I could just hurry up and get a chance to make my Worgen Druid and my Human Hunter...

I really don't know where to start since I'm excited about everything that Cataclysm will bring, but I'll give it a shot.

* The revamped talent trees - I think its a brilliant way to allow class balancing and some of the revamps have really changed the way some classes are played. As an altoholic with 5 80's, I can't wait to try these changes out.

* Azeroth changes - I've been playing since vanilla and know Azeroth like the back of my hand. The changes that I have seen make it a completely new game with better looks and even better flow. I can't wait to fully enjoy it while leveling my 6th toon :D

* New class skills - Smoke bomb, curtain of frost, healing rain, come on, who isn't excited about that! (have to be honest, that read out in my head like it was narrated by BRK)

* Everything else - Seriously, I'm taking off of work when Cataclysm comes out. Gonna have to send the wife on vacation with my son too, I can't have any distractions beyond my own ADHD.

Things i'm excited for?
New class abilities are always fun, and it looks like the leveling experience, my favorite part of the game, has really been focused on this time around.
I like that Blizzard are breaking up the monolithic huge raids that everyone works on into smaller raids in the same tier. One of the reasons leveling is my favorite part of the game is because I never have time to finish a raid!
Azeroth is a really iconic game world, and seeing it the first time was probably one of my best gaming experiences ever. It'll be amazing to see it brought up-to-date with Blizzard's new design standards.
There seems to be a lot more ways in which the game immerses you, like the small in-engine cutscenes and quests which switch up game mechanics.
Goblins and Worgen are simply awesome new races and their starting zones are the best examples of the stuff I'm hyped about.
Also: Flying metal lava dragons are awesome.
Allow me to edit this and say: If "have a WOW account in good standing" includes having a subscription active when the keys are given out, don't include me and give someone else a shot.

I'm most looking forward to seeing behind the walls of Gilneas and playing through the Worgen quests. Ever since leveling in Silverpine and being killed by one of the Sons of Arugal in classic, I've been interested in the lore of the area.
