Ok I am lazy and didn't want to wade though the 5 pages of comments to see if this was touched upon
NIGHT ELF MAGE??? The entire NE society is based upon the principle that Magic is un natural. That is why there are no mage trainers in Darnassus. Druids are one with Nature there fore their nature magic is good. So a nightelf mage would be an outcast, nothing more than a blue haired Blood elf.

Well I think if they make it interesting enough that it could work. I've been playing off and on since launch with some long breaks between expansions. I played for over a year with original wow I got about the same out of BC and just 9 months out of LK. What has happened everytime is that I get to endgame and it just becomes a raid/PvP/Rep/daily grind. Sure you could make an alt, I have 2 80's 2 72's and a 68, but in the end it's always the same. If they make the game different I could see myself losing another year or more not only playing the changed horde side but now also exploring the alliance side as well.
I wonder if this expansion will have the humans finishing the Inn in Westfall. They have been working on it for years, I'm sure they are tired of hitting the same nails over and over again.
Some of this sounds great, some sounds, wow are they really doing that... But, the WoW lovers will eat it all up. Having more classes for each race is not something for someone who has not played. It is for someone who is thinking about quitting, starting as something new.
I will say, I expected them to open ALL classes to ALL races with this xpac. But, they might wait till the next one. Good to see some of the classes going to races that made sense to have them (Night elf mages, Human/undead hunters). And sad to see some races get classes that make no sense what so ever.
Sadly, this is true! Although I have been suggesting they make Goblins a playable race since the start of the game, in regards to most of the rest however, Blizz stopped caring about what made sense with the lore long ago, at least in my eyes. It became a "hey this'll make us lots of money, screw the lore" attitude imo. That is exactly why I left a while back. I mean motorcycles, seriously! Oh, can't forget the rocket mounts either.
I stopped enjoying this game when Blizz turned it into a mainstream pos income stream with no rules way back, hence my sig!
Assuming this really is the expansion, my first thought was simply: How Freakin' Lame.
Seriously, they make over $150 million a month in subscription fees alone. With all that money they can't make any new classes, just recycle existing ones. They can't make new zones just rework existing ones. This laziness isn't new, they started it with BC with horde paladins and alliance shamans. That way each faction had a "new" class to play without blizzard having to actually design one. Heroics were a way to recycle existing content as well, why make a high level dungeon when you can take an existing one and just up the mob levels instead? Wrath comes out and oooo let's just recycle Naxx! Whew, didn't have to make a raid instance there either! Meh...
Not to mention apparently Blizzard doesn't care about lore anymore. There are so many reasons why Class A can't be Race B, yet blizz doesn't seem to care anymore. They don't even bother to retcon either. No lore reason why draenei are DK's, they just said "they can so deal with it" basically.

If true, this xpac does NOT impress me... at all.
