"This is their *starting town* of Tuskala"? Sounds like WoW players have a bright future ahead of them as hideous walrus-men!

@Hagglegaggle: My thoughts exactly.

Yeah, I went back and listened to that part again because I wasn't sure I heard what I thought I had.

@Johnny Sailor: Now where's the damn Muclocs?

I don't think Blizzard hears cheers from the crowd. Their ears have mutated to only hear "cha-ching" noises.

Tuscar starting city huh.. seems neat.

Everything else simply failed to impress.

@Krytha: no, they heard none because there were none. ive specifically seen them deny new areas would be blandly snowbased, and they show off areas that are exactly that. now you know how they got a turnaround so fast after burning crusade. they didnt have to make textures.

At least the Gnomes get a town now. Complete with airstrips and everything!

@aestheticity: The initial video showed areas that weren't blatantly snow-based, but you have to expect some degree of snow simply from the fact that it's the northernmost continent, and it has been established as being quite snowy.

@Hagglegaggle: No, i'm pretty sure that that's just the first alliance town in the new continent.

takes me back to warcraft 3

@Sturm Truppen: Could be, but I'm still referring to WoW subscribers as hideous walrus-men from here on out, just so we're clear.

@Sturm Truppen: Horde have drafted the Tuskarr.

get your +frost resist gear now, kids.

Anyone get a shot of Frostmourne? On the last day, when they were going over Warcraft Lore, they talked about their initial ideas for the expansion. One was that if players killed the Lich King, one new player could become the new Lich King.

They showed the stats for the sword, and everyone went ballistic. Afterwards, the next shot showed a dwarf in Lich King armor saying "LOL!! I'm the new king! Time to PWN n00bs!!"... Suffice to say, they aren't going with that idea.
