Haven't done one of these for a little while:
Is it just our server, or are 70% of human males everywhere now wearing this hairstyle?
They introduce a whole range of new kitty colour schemes - and you keep running into one that looks like you. It's all white on the night…
And, courtesy of the Bronze dragonflight, this is what Leafy would look like as a human.
Psychotic.

This is growing on me:
And aren't the Silver Covenant dailies quick to do? Time to start racking up those seals…

I've been getting a little spoilt of late. I've been doing a bunch of Heroics I've never done before, and the Achievements have been flowing like water. Then last night, I did the two daily dungeon quests, without an Achievement to be seen. I sulked (slightly), I can tell you.
And then, this morning, before heading to work, I did my Dalaran dailies. And this happened:
And that would have been enough to keep me happy.
But then…

So, the Cataclysm announcement has been and gone, and the blog-frenzy around it is beginning to quieten down. I think it's safe to post again… :-)
Like everyone else, I've got pretty excited by some aspects of the next expansion, including guild levelling, Paths of the Titans and the opportunity to level a Worgen feral druid. But all that's months away - probably less than a year, but more than six months, I'd guess. So, what does the announcement mean for my play now? Does it change anything?
For me, one of the main results is that it makes me want to see the Old World now, while I still can. There are great chunks of the Eastern Kingdoms that I never quested in Alliance-side on the way to 60, and my highest Horde character was but 24…
So, in between powering through Heroics on Leafy, as well as the inevitable grinding through Faily Quests, some of my low-level alts are stirring back into life. It's time to experience the original Horde levelling play, before the Cataclysm sweeps it away. And it's time to grab Leafy's Loremaster achievement before that opportunity goes (over 300 quests to go).
If nothing else, seeing these zones again, and sometimes in much more detail, will allow me to appreciate the changes of Cataclysm that much more.
And so, Feanthal, my baby belf, was back at Windrunner Spire, farming the mobs until that quest item dropped. And that allowed me to do this:
Oh, I know it's been done a hundred times before, but I wanted my own version, and to see it performed with Sylvanus's new model…

I've been a wee bit busy with family this weekend, so haven't had much chance to post about the Cataclysm news, but Andro's summed up much of what I think pretty well.
That said, I think the single most disappointing piece of news to come out of Blizzcon is the lack of new character slots with the expansion. Let's think about this. What has Blizz done since the release of the original game up until the release of Cataclysm to encourage us to develop multiple characters?
So much of what Blizz has done through these three expansions has pushed people towards multiple toons. We're a pretty casual guild, and I know several of my guildies are already out of character slots. Not adding any extra in Cataclysm seems like a pretty short-sighted move to me.
Time for a campaign…

I hear a lot of anecdotal evidence that jousting is one of the least popular mechanisms that Blizz has added to WoW. But, as Larisa points out, the relevant dailies are amongst the most-often done in the game.
In the hunt for some facts, I decided it was time for a poll:
I'd be grateful if you took a few seconds to cast your vote.
