-alliance loses Southshore... But we gain gelanas (sp?)

Archeology is a secondary skill (like First Aid), so everyone can get it. Unearth new glyph slots, patterns, items, etc.

Goblin mount is a go kart

Lvl cap to 85, few if any new talents. We do gain 5 talents with the higher level cap.

-if you are bored and want to know some more of the back story read the "war of the ancients" a three book series. Explains the whole deathwing, illidian, dragon aspect, Druid, lore/backgrounds. I am super excited for this expac just cause it ties into all that.

Guild Advancement: Dailys, raids, BGs, etc. give points. Guild talent tree, giving cheaper repairs, mass raid resurrection, etc.

i guessed it would be more than 4 months and less than 16, but what part of 2010 is the question!

for reference:
* TBC took 14 months & 20 days from announcement to release
* WotLK took 15 months & 10 days from announcement to release

All healers will get a magic dispell

Block Value = gone. Now it's percentage based

Haste = energy, runes, rage, focus regen

AP is gone. Agi = 2AP for rogues, hunters, shamans, druids
-all this is referring to is gear itemization. They are going back to base stats. No more leather/mail being best in slot for melée dps. So a plate dps will want plate for better stat itemization.

Armor Pen is gone

Defence is Gone
-all tanking classes will be like the Druids. Talents/mastery will make you deff capped.

Spell Power is gone. Intell = mana AND SP

MP5 is gone... in place of Spirit...

Hunters no longer use mana! Focus instead.

Warlocks get instant fear.
