Cataclysm Alpha / SPOILERS BE AND GOES HERE!

Ye who enter abandon all hope! Spoilers be here!




http://www.mmo-champion.com/news-2/cataclysm-friends-family-alpha/

Looks like it's official Friends and Family now.

Sounds like late spring / early summer beta?


Very early autumn release maybe?

They'll want to get it released in time for the northern hemisphere's summer holidays.

Anything to have kids spend hours of their summer days, inside playing WoW.

Nice.

And I'm honestly starting to think about Cata not showing up until November/December.

Yeah might be, I'm just hoping for some leaks allready! Blizzard friends and family Alpha has never held information inside it that well :>

Personally I'm guessing that when the real beta starts, Ruby Sanctum will be rolling on real servers (seeing as it's the last raiding content patch) to keep people busy w/e while others are testing, and then some weeks / a month before launch we get 3.3.9 aka Gnomeregan/Echos

Spoiler:

Dat sum Deathwing model.

Looks small for him!

Yeah I'm guessing he will be bit bigger but model afaik is real from Alpha it seems. Was done by someone changing his own model to that of Deathwing so might explain the size?

I'll post more leaks here when I got time / they appear. So if anyone doesn't want spoilers do not look here! and if this is against forum rules please say so then! :3

We aren't officially a blizzard site or anything so it wouldn't be against the rules. Aslong as you spoiler tag your parts and perhaps even [spoiler] the title it will give people the option to stay clear.

Sure might as well turn this in to some sort of post yarr spoilers here.

Arr we be sailing fast today arr.

Thankz in advance.

Spoilers about duskwood too please!

"Blizz Devs have taken a look on Defias Brotherhood and felt inspired to remake Duskwood zone. Angered at Holy fanatics slaughtering innocents, Duskwood proclaimed independence. All human hunters have special quests in Duskwood, where they are trained as Fanatic-slayers" ....shit....

Does anyone know if they're redesigning Teldrassil too, by any chance?

We feel it is nescessary to employ special methods in dealing with the fanatics when leveling up, for that matter of speaking every non-fanatic will receive a passive tenacity +20 buff when a fanatic is in the area around the non-fanatic, the buff will have unlimited range and it will effect everyone. Not only that but the ammount of experience gained by killing and grinding fanatics will be trippled, in addition new quests will be added where you will need to kill fanatics in various and creative ways to receive more experience, in addition you will be allowed to kill members of your own faction with PvP mechanics aslong as they are fanatics. - Dev team.

^ True story.

I thought this was a model put onto a PR but look close, that water looks new. Lighter, but new.
