Sorry for double posting but i didn't write all i wanted to as i was in somewhat of a rush, anyway.. I also cant wait till i try exploring the new changed zones, trying the new quests and new races, talking with the other players to find bugs, etc to report to blizzard. In short, i want the beta key so i can find bugs and report the bugs i find to blizzard, plus having some fun checking this new stuff out. :) This is Namyralers from Argent Dawn EU and i shall wait patiently to see if i am one of the lucky 50. :P
Excited Much!!!

the most exiting thing i think i am looking forward to is.......well everything. worgen goblins, the guild achievement system, more questing and content, the ability to finally fly in azeroth im also looking forward to everyone coming back to wow for the expansion because alot of people quit right before the expansion. also all of my friends and girlfriend are getting into the game for cataclysm. i'm also looking forward to the endgame content and learning everything gain that i have learned in the past 6 years since vanilla beta. but if their was one thing im looking forward to is picking up my lvl 80 paladin and bringing him up to lvl 85. and all the lore goodies that we get to learn....

The most exciting thing im looking forward to cataclysm and looking forward for new ways of questing.The most exciting thing i cant wait for in cataclysm is raids i love raiding! i think getting a bunch of people togather and working out a strategy to kill something is just awsome while having the occasional wipe and the Allakhazam jokes =)cataclysm is gonna be definetly the best boss fights yet i think the best one is going to be uldum or deathwing (but deathing probbaly wont be realeased till a year later like the lich king. witch is fine its worth the wait!

The most thing im excited about is Azeroth the changes is just to cool to ignore , like lava flowing everywhere you go and fluffy two leged dogs (worgen) and these green skinned gnomes (goblin) just to think of all that making me explode of "wantingness".So well the most thing im excited about is the new changes in the azeroth , just to discover and do the quests and just have the feeling of happiness when you are running around with your worgen in gilneas and the new quest lines and yea. I can say with big proud in my voice: Im excited about everything in the upcoming expansion Catclysm!

I personally was a player of the WC3 and WC3FT games so the things that I'm most excited about is

1)the unpredictable lore as I raid through the maelstrom and Azeroth
2)being able to level my plethora of alternate toons that have been collecting dust due to the leveling revamps
3)learning and having fun with the new talents, spells, and instances.

Time to say goodbye to the frozen wasteland of Northrend....

See you on the sunny side!

This expac has TONS of new content to bring. Cataclysm is my picture perfect expansion, they plan to make lower leveling much more enjoyable, and I will definitely be releveling, 1-60, without heirlooms. All the drama in the horde sounds like a recipe for excellent questing, and the huge Alliance vs. Horde war going on also sounds very exciting to me!
But, enough with talking about new lower level content, 81-85 and 85 raids!!!! I personally have a guild that only does 10 mans, because 25 mans are to stressful and a mess, plus getting people to show up is an issue. 10 man loot giving better stats is awesome! Plus, we get to fight the almighty Deathwing. I am a casual raider, I raid around 3-4 days a week, so I guess not so casual. But still, I hear there making healing mana management is going to be something to now take into account. I like how there making the game more balanced, and in a way more difficult. Overall, the one thing I am really looking forward to is the revamp of pretty much the whole game, including questing, raiding, and mechanics of the game!

I would like to try the worgen and to try out the new talent trees.

The revamed zones will be awesome from the looks of it.

I've been a fan of Wow since the beginning. There are so many things that i'm excited for in the new expansion. Ever since i read the post on Mmo-champion about cataclysm. What is going to happen just blew my mind. The lore, new races, and new classes for different races. With the new phasing technology blizzard has just started to use in-game. Also experiences like the Wrath gate event, i know there are more great things to come from something like that.
The lore, i am a big fan about the lore of wow, and seeing all the changes and war that is going to be waged in cata is just amazing. Our old world will be completely different in this new expansion. From the corrupted aspect Deathwing rising up from deepholm to wage war on the races of the world who he believe to be pests.
I am so excited for everything in Cata, its so hard to wait for it to be released. Picking me would be the greatest thing to happen to me and a very very long time.

i play an orc dk on the realm sargeras

Fourreasons why I wanna become a BETA:
1. Goblins and Worgens! Personally I think Goblins is more awesome than Worgens. But it takes more than just watching a class wandering around youtube, tankspot etc in order to select one. I hope and want to be a beta so that I eventually can find out which race suits me best, I hope Worgen since I am a alliance fan :D
2. To be able to explore Azeroth from above. I can´t just wait until I get to fly above SW and all that. It´s awesome blizz changed that.
3. Raid the new dungeons. I have only been reading on wowhead and other forums, and the words about it are positive. GJ blizz :)
4. Perhaps one of the major reasons why I want to become a BETA is to experience the new class changes. I can’t wait to try out how hunters will be now with focus instead if mana.

(been trying to become a BETA tester for loooooooooooong now)

As an engineer i'd love to see the full list of goods that i'd be able to make, TBC and wrath both brought us new mounts, cataclysm will bring us sockets (atleast). On top of that, the way Garrosh is pretty much taking the horde apart gives me some ideas of what might happen, i got my money on a revolution.

I love Cataclysm update
# Jul 28 2010 at 1:44 PM Rating: Decent
The thing I like with Cataclysm is the following: The Water, They will make the water more sensitive and more realistic. I'm gonna love the changes to all capital cities, as in Stormwind with the Park. I think I'm gonna like the changes to the climate on WoW itself. The Raids, roads, all the race changes, class changes and to be a goblin and Worgen. That will be the biggest surprize is gonna be the new spellbook, talents and Everything.! That's why I'm going to keep play World of Warcraft. And want a Beta Key!

Hey there allakhazam forums!

I'm looking forward to Cataclysm because of all the reasons. New warchief, new zones, new leveling places, worgens, goblins the whole deal.

Cataclysm has all kinds of new things in store for us. It's removing epics from heroics which I love the most. No more welfare for the new players. They gotta make it hard again like it was in Pre-BC which I miss the most. When I was playing in Pre-BC I absolutely loved it. I leveled a hunter and druid to 60 and raided all the content, leaving Naxx out haha. What really caught my attention also is, the new azeroth. I love this because WoW needs *new* to it. Out with the old in with the new. All these new graphics there adding in is eye catching, breathe taking. I've never seen an MMO with this kind of water like in Cataclysm. Maybe GW had some identical water but not as close. The new zones such as Hyjal, which I've been looking forward to since the beginning of WOTLK when my friend showed me a glitch on getting into it. Also, can't forget the under water zone. That looks so so awesome, and I defiantly want to play in that.

Goblins and Worgens, whoever says the Worgen is gay, I will slap you silly. The Goblins have always been my favorite race. Even when I was playing WAR I was a little greenskin shaman. They are the coolest race imo. They get a huge car for a mount, which I'm very much looking forward to. I actually might make my rogue a goblin once it's available for change. There starting zone looks awesome from what I saw on youtube from TotalHalbut. It's an awesome lore which I'd love to play. The worgens are my second new favorite race. I've always loved werewolves, even since I was a little kid. I do own some action figures of werewolves haha. I do own the full Underworld saga, and I gotta admit those werewolves are BA, they look like the ones in WoW. Twilight, pff go away those are wolves not werewolves. Speaking of races, how about Vol'Jin. He defiantly has got my eye. Regardless if he's a troll, he still is one bad a** guy. Garrosh Hellscream tho, has been my favorite change. Ever since I started WoW he has been my favorite WoW Lore guy. Any man that's on the edge for war deserves to be warchief of the horde. Plus his dad is Grom, the savior of the horde. If it wasn't for Grom the horde might of never been started.

The new way heroics and raids work also has my eye. The way the two point system works, if you don't spend your main points they'll be transfered into lower points. The new Deadmines and SFK also looks legit. I'm looking to go back in there and fighting the new DM boss, VanCleef's daughter.

The new guild system also looks awesome. I remember in WAR the way that setup was I loved it. It works better and makes the guild look good. Also looking forward to new achievements and mounts to farm :).

Please please please pick me for a cataclysm beta invite. I haven't been having the best luck with anything in my life right now, my girlfriend of 3 years left me, my mother passes away a month ago due to cancer, I lent a friend of mine 500 dollars to pay off a doctor bill and he completely shut me off from him after... all kinds of bad things. I've been wanting to get into beta since it was released and of course I'd never get an invite in my life. I just really hope you pick me, this would make my month, even my year.

Thanks... - Jake Hesse

I'm the most exited about the way they change and use the classic world. The fact, that it is sort of the end of the world. I'm going to roll a new character (preferably a night elf druid or a night elf warrior) so that I can experience the new world from the start.

Hello. I'm from Ukraine.
I've been playing WoW almost since its inception XD.
Very interesting to learn a new dynamic games, open up new talent, skills and see how the change the old world. I really want to know more about the new 5 local dungeons. Interestingly vayshir and goblins. I want to play for the goblins and see what they were subjected to the destruction of their city. You will see the cataclysm eyes goblin. I want to see the new skills a shaman and the passive skills goblin. Watch 2 video with goblins and I liked the new skills. I look forward to exit the cataclysm, but neterpitsa foretaste already part of all this in beta testing. I want to learn more about the caves in the cataclysm, because I'm playing a mage in PVE and most of the time I spend exactly underground. I very much want to look at the capital of the horde as it has changed. As I remember it still with Classics WoW. And she finally changed, it is very interesting to look at our new leader. And much more.
Thank you for your time in reading the letters ICDO
Sorry for my english.
I'm sooo exited for cataclysm
# Jul 28 2010 at 1:20 PM Rating: Decent
I've been soo exited to roll worgen after ive seen previews of the old world. If you've played as much wow as i have it almost feels like you're home is being renavated or something along those lines, Deathwing being set as the prime antagonist is very exiting and makes me wonder what horror's he's cooked up since the second war. The funny thing is i watch all of the questing videos on youtube cause im that stoked, from jesse cox to total halibut. to win a beta key right now would sure make my summer a hell Noo Tons alot better. -dingo
