Great damn news! I'm really looking forward to seeing the in-depth previews they talk about... When does blizzcon start?

Ugh... Blizzcon... what a rip.

Anyway, it was pretty much known they were coming about with this expansion. Blizzcon starts October 28th-29th.

Only 1 person in our guild is attending, and she is mainly going so she can have a Murloc Pet. LOL

AFAIK it was only suspected and this confirms it

AFAIK it was only suspected and this confirms it [/QUOTE]Suspected but well known. 1. There Blizzcon prize lists were a "beta testing key" and 2. A CNN article stated that a new game/project will be unveiled at Blizzcon that is WoW related.

I read on a gaming site from one of their reporter that there will be 2 new races in the exp. One alliance and one horde, but he can't talk about it because of the NDA.

I wonder if it's true.

Could you provide a link to that site? I doubt if its true.

If it is, I've honestly lost all faith in WoW. I can't even see two logical races for each side.

1) Some blood elves (storyline would change of course)
2) Ogres for horde?

The rumored races are the Naga and the blood elves.
But as fun as two new races would be, it would definantly cause havoc to the story line and would just seem like another grab for cash to me.

They can't actually do that. First they gave a half-ass reason for aligning the Horde with the Undead. Now they are splitting up Naga and Blood Elves? I don't care what reason they give, it is inexcusable if they use those races.

As for Ogres, there is only one tribe of Ogres friendly to the Horde, and that is the StoneMaul. They are located in Dustwallow Marsh, but other than that most of the Ogre's have separate tribes.
