World of Warcraft Expansion News

I was waiting for more news on it before posting, so I imagine some of you are already aware of the screenshots and news of the first World of Warcraft expansion out there in the wild. Voodoo Extreme has the highlights, and Joystiq is carrying some beautiful screenshots. So far the three features that have my eyebrows raised are: Blood Elves as a new playable Horde race, a high level Flying Mount for the Outlands, and (most exciting) cross-server Battlegrounds. This last would be a huge boon for the currently questionable organized PvP play, and I really hope they swing it.

    ...did you even bother clicking on the link?

    - NO new classes, just two new races
    - level rise to 70, not 75

    Doesn't mean the posted link is automatically 100% correct... but honestly, did you even read it?

    It frightens me that this was modded insightful.

    First of all, appearance has nothing to do with balance. Some servers have Alliance outnumbering Horde, and others it's the opposite. Second of all, shaman are not that bad. They are no more 'overpowered' than Paladins. (and Paladins are an absolute bitch to kill) How are Tauren any more powerful than other races? They have warstomp, and a slight HP boost. OMG NERF. The backstory also firmly places them with the Horde. (Orcs saved their asses from the Centaurs)
