Yeah, that's my new background now.

Sooooo coooooool /drool

The most awesome part of that post? This is the starter zone. 78-82. I mean, sure. Leveling only goes to 85. But compare that description there to say, Howling Fjord or Borean Tundrea. Not that I dislike either of those zones. But Mount Hyjal already blows them away in terms of epic-ness.

To say nothing of Hellfire Peninsula and Zangramarsh! If this is where we START leveling in Cataclysm, that's a damn good sign.

AWESOME!! ;D ;D

Score 1 for druids... Teleport: Moonglade FTW!

Umm... Everyone gets to fly in Azeroth. I don't see the big advantage a teleport has.

This is Awesome!

"assembly of the Ancients, who have set a plan in motion to bring a powerful ally and demigod back into this realm."

Oh yeah! Lore freaks.... is this Malorne or Cenarius they are talking about?

It's even rumored that Malorne has been spotted in the wilderness. Perhaps further investigation is necessary....

....

Your successes in Hyjal will ultimately lead you to the assembly of the Ancients, who have set a plan in motion to bring a powerful ally and demigod back into this realm.

The presence of the former of those two sentences leads me to believe that the latter is referring to Cenarius. Either way, /loregasm.

[Don Yak]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

It's pretty awesome how they're giving us more info like this now. I had assumed Hyjal would be an 85 zone, but even as a leveling zone it's looking to be really cool. I also think they tied it in to the events of Cataclysm better than I expected; we knew about Ragnaros being unleashed again, but the Twilight dragons chilling in Darkwhisper makes sense. Finally a real use for that area :P

THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God i cant wait, this xpac will bring about the ressurection of WoW, a popular theme of blizzard apparently!

[Lexoid]

Wait.. WoW died at some point?

Either way.. This looks like pure win for me, love it to death <3

[Vestirah]

The wallpaper looks so epic. Plus Mt Hyjal sounds really cool ;D

I'm almost 100% certain the mentioned Demigod is Cenarius. However, for those of us who played through Warcraft III, he was killed by Grom Hellscream. Which means...

"Warcraft III was merely a setback"

Ohh the joy

Lore? In my WoW? VICTORY!

I love quests that reveal lore to us like this, it seems Blizzard is really trying to integrate strong story into this expansion, which honestly has me sold.
