Tons of info on the usual websites I'm sure so I won't spam
copy+paste, been watching it on Blizzcon virtual ticket myself and
it's got me pretty interested!

Had my doubts when some leaks started coming out... like, time travel?
Really? Isn't that going to end in either paradoxes everywhere, or
being like Caverns of Time where you already know the outcome and have
to try not to change too much? Well seemingly, no, alternate timelines
are a handy way of avoiding such issues :-P With that in mind, then,
ok, it sounds alright, tbh - I LOVED Rise of the Horde as a book, it
was amazing and really gave a ton of info on the background of what
became Outland (probably tied in well with WC1 too, never played that
game), and the idea of going and seeing Draenor as it was then, seeing
the Draenei places before they were wrecked, meeting the big-name
orcs, yeah, I like it. 

Also surprisingly I actually like how the direction has been changed;
means we know there'll be surprises, it's not all predetermined on the
path of what's gone before. So yeah, the story's got me sucked in
already tbh, especially the thought of seeing the Draenei before
everything went wrong; I just love them as a race, and their story was
absolutely tragic before, I really hope we can head off some of that
this time out. I also hope the Alliance don't keep them to themselves;
I'll be levelling my old draenei priest for this expansion for sure,
but I want to meet them on my Horde characters too! 

As for the rest, well, I forsee many screaming tantrums on the forums
over raid sizes, doesn't affect me in the slightest so I don't greatly
care, raid finder going semi-flex is ok, problem is, their example of
people dropping and making us wait for more? Won't make any difference
because 90% of the time it's a tank, else almost all the healers that
have gone, so the ratios will be screwed and we'd still have to wait
:-P

Garrison sounds intriguing; after the farm I was expecting something
customisable, but not to that extent! Mini RTS in some ways, quite
like the idea of building up my base and recruiting minions to do
stuff for me, will have to see how it plays out, but it has potential,
for sure. Something very different to normal, which is always a plus!

Instant 90, well, ok, it's just one character so fair enough - I
wouldn't want it to be loads, or the lower lvl zones would be entirely
dead, and I for one still enjoy levelling, but one is a fair enough
idea to get people up to speed if they want it. I don't much like the
idea of making an instant 90 of a new character for me, as I'd have no
connection to it, but what I *may* do is use it on my draenei priest,
who is stuck at 71 atm. That being said, they said something about
clearing questlogs and I still have the original questchains which I
*believe* will lead me to Hand of A'dal/Champion of the Naaru, so tbh
I don't think I can risk losing those. Oh well, I'll just have to get
levelling the normal way, because I really really want to play that
character on Draenor! 

Oh yeah and I love the new models, immediately wanted to start playing
my old dwarf hunter when I saw the male dwarf; he looks fantastic!
Just what I'd always hoped for; really keeps the feel, no major
changes, but making it so much more detailed, I love it. Can't wait to
see the other races and the females now.
