What Cataclysm will destroy as well

Lots of news out on the new expansion, and before blogging about all of it I wanted to let it sink in with me first. There's going to be many new things, but for the first time we're not only gaining, but also losing a lot of content.

I've already starting working on getting my old content done, I still have much to do, and all of a sudden it feels like I have little time to do it in.

I've gotten my guardian of Cenarius title. The title might stay, but I got it by working on Loremaster. Which, I think, is definitely a title that will go away. It will become a rarity to see someone with the title eventually, and I plan to be one of those people who does have it.

262 quests left to go in Kalimdor...

I'll try to get a full overview in from achievements that I feel might not make it through cataclysm or that will at least be altered a lot. Stay tuned.

Blizzcon opening ceremony, watching live

Yes, I'm watching...

The new expansion is Cataclysm, level cap 85, worgen to alliance, goblins to horde, new trade skill archeology, and yes Azeroth will never be the same.

It seems that MMO-Champion was spot on. Bit of a shame, but hey, woot!

There will be flying mounts in Azeroth, and oh!

Get this: HEROIC DEADMINES AND SHADOWFANG KEEP!

Off to WoW panel soon, gonna have to geek out on all the information at some later time...

Edit: And oh, guild leveling, wonder what that will do.

Blizzard once again rules in clarity

So no confirmation code required...duh, that information should've come out earlier and should be posted on the Blizzard site. Bad, bad bad support...oh well, lets get the word out people.

Twizzcon

twizzcon: In support of new big announcement: program not included with schwag. To be picked up after opening ceremonies, just as with 2007 and Wrath.

New expansion details ftw? I wish they would finally send out my activation code for the online streaming so I would feel less worried about that.

Go check Twizzcon out here, and come join us.

Dear Auriaya

Pugnacious Priest had a contact add blogged today. I just had to react.

Catchphrase: I'm one of the cooler guys around

Dear Auriaya,

I read about your love for cats, and thought that we may chat about our love for the feline species over a cup of green goo coffee together. I have only one cat, his name is Mr Bigglesworth, but he's a very intelligent one. And to those who would touch a hair on his head; I would curse the interlopers, and the army of the lich king would hunt them down, they would not escape their fate...

As you notice I am in the good books with Arthas, and though I am currently not endgame content, I have been twice before so I can assure you that I'm a pretty big boss.

Back when I was a member of the Council of Six, I used to read books quite a bit. In fact I have tried with all my might to gain access to the guardian library of Medivh, but allas the library was destroyed (and so was I, but that story might be told at a later point).

My special interest went to books about necromancy, do you have any specific subjects you like reading about?

I have been promised immortality, and I bet that if we would get on well and decide that we would like to stay together I could try to strike a deal for you too.

Distance: I would love to show you my necropolis, and I don't move too easily myself, but I one of my minions is quite good in teleporting.

Hobbies: Watching people dance, I don't do much dancing myself, but I do love watching others. If they don't move in time I do get bored quickly and just finish them it off.

Desirable Qualities: I rule Naxxramas, is that not enough?

Contact Options: I'm sending Heigan out with this message, feel free to use him to send your reply back. Just don't mention Noth to him, and he should be willing to help you.

Children: I consider many out there as my minions slaves children.

Me when I was still alive.
Me now, quite an improvement, eh?
