A furry is only a furry if a furry chooses to be a furry. For example, druids are of course furries, because they choose at will to shift into their furry forms. Not like they have a choice, with caster form as useful as it is. *rolls eyes*
A Worgen does not have a choice of being furry, it IS furry. It instead has a choice of being a human, quite clearly not covered in fur, with most of its surface area being dominated by skin. Since the term furry does not apply, let's instead call Worgen "skinnies" to give them strange body image issues in later development.

back in my day we had to walk to orgrimmar with no shoes, uphill both ways, in the snow!

This is WOW2. Same Thing but different and no churn
As far as the Worgen go... I get it. They're already in the game and the lore. The Location of the "Greymane" Wall makes it obvious they were always intended to be more of a part of the game. And the idea that you're a Cursed Human from a hidden kingdom that was always there anyway is great for Roleplay. I can't wait to hunt them with my Troll Main.

We both joined WoW right before Wrath hit, we are, relatively speaking, new players... but even WE fear for the loss of old world lore. It will be great, I know that... but with a change of this MAGNITUDE, how could you not be worried?

However, what really interests me about Cataclysm is the new class/race combos and the 'New Azeroth'. The idea of a Night Elf Mage almost made me get back into WoW. Almost.

Judging from concept art, the Worgen have no travel form. They get a stone boar-like mount. They do run like current Worgen, on all fours but it's at the same speed as other classes.

The Worgen play more like wolves with man suits. They can switch between forms on command, but once they enter combat or use their sprint ability, the Worgen are forced into their wolf form. I'm sure that Worgen players will be in their beast form far more often. Their starting area in the demo was pretty dull, though. Because of that alone, I'm far more excited about the Goblins then the Worgen despite how much I like the werewolf archetype.

You make this site look so much less professional by not checking what you post.
I say it not to be a dick but to better this site.

And yet you sounded like a dick,and is not not even for posting your opinion but for forgetting to practice your own advise.

It's one thing for silly little me to not reread what I posted in some comment I made on a blog, it's a completely different thing for someone who is an editor on said blog and who is essentially the face of a website that tons of people read to not check what they wrote.
I don't spend the time rereading a comment I made on some blog because if I mess up there are no real consequences.
In my work place I reread and spell check everything I do before sending it out, and I think it would do a service to this website that I enjoy if the people who ran the site did the same.
Ok, flaming commence!

Even without a new top (er...bottom of the trees, but the highest level) group of talents, 5 talent points is less of an impact on class balance than 10. 10 is enough to jump another full tier in a tree, which makes it possible to attain some painfully overpowered talent load-outs with some classes. It takes a while to get things back into equilibrium, and it's not fun for people who get the short end of that stick.
Basically, it's less work for Blizzard and you're less likely to be owned by some new, overpowered and unplanned/unintentioned-by-Blizzard talent loadout by the latest fad class.
