What do you think of the new expansion coming out for WoW? What do you think of the two new races? What do you think of all races having all classes?

All races won't be having the possibility of playing all classes. Several restrictions still apply, although yes, they have expanded them a little bit.
Although I was a bit against the worgen/goblin thing before it was confirmed, I seem to accept it now. It was about time we, the horde, get a class that will be as annoying, as the gnomes are.

I love the new races and im really excited to this new expansion which will be released in December 12. Have you pre-ordered the game already? I'm still searching for a more cheaper site that i can afford..or better yet wait for months to play the game when it's much more cheaper..eheh. As i read the infos and FAQ on the game, i was amazed to hear that there will be additional classes and races that they have never combined before. And i think i would love to try the gnome priest and the human hunter..

I'm honestly not too impressed with what has been announced for the expansion so far. Blizzard plans to do a lot with the lore that is completely out of whack and makes little to no sense from any standpoint other than wanting to add radical change to the game (which I think does more harm than good for people who really care about the lore).
There are a lot of mechanic changes announced such as the new Archaeology profession and the new Path of the Titans system that seem like they could add a lot to the depth of character customization. Whether these turn out to be fantastic things that change the game for the better or things that don't add much to the game at all remains to be seen.
There's also the rated battlegrounds coming in the patch which seems rather lacklust to me as well. They will require full premades to enter which are going to be difficult to set up by casual PvP guilds with low member counts. They are also not a true rated system, as you can't lose rating for losing rated battleground mages, only gain rating for winning.
The changes/removal of so many stats could also swing either way. If they do it right they can easily maintain (or even strengthen) balance of the game and make gear choices easier without needing to do serious number crunching. Hopefully this will turn out for the better, especially with intellect now increasing spell power.
So overall I'm not too impressed with what I've seen of Cataclysm so far. I'm hoping it goes beyond my expectations when it is actually released, but as of now I'm not expecting too much.

I liked all the new features, especially that the tradeskills items will be more useful at lower levels, I also loved the goblin race. But I think that it's too soon to release another expansion, I think I will not be able to afford 3 expansions, if it was like Everquest 2, that you pay only for the last expansion and receive all of them, then I would think about play again as an enhancement shaman goblin =P

the very best thing is that the "private-servers" developers will stop doing something like this. Think a bit, all the azeroth quest are replaced with new ones, that will be harder to script. and that why i am happy, because people shouldn't play there, yes its free, but it is full of bugs, and the community sucks. I think that blizzard staff wanted to stop private servers with this patch "All will be changed"

I've been loving this game since the Warcraft days. I bet this new expansion will be better than its predecessor. The fact that the world of Azeroth will be forever changed according to lore is awesome. It's nice to know that the game we've been paying for is really being updated according to the story of Warcraft. Also, the 2 new races would fit perfectly in the expansion. I am a hardcore Horde fan but I still think Worgens are cooler than Goblins. But I'm still gonna make a Goblin Rogue..

I was completely overjoyed. Waz liek, "FINALLY! We get some Werewolves! Then I found out they didn't have tails, and was a little bummed. But I think Worgen look totally cute!!!!! I cant wait for the expansion! Now both of the alliances (non-wow term here XP) are even, because they both have short annoying races. ^-^ Wahoo! I think they're both awesome additions to wow though.
