Wow (no pun intended) it’s been a very exciting afternoon to say the least! As I kind of expected Blizzard announced the release of the new upcoming expansion called Cataclysm with some very mixed reactions amongst the crowd here at Blizzcon. Most of the people that I’ve spoken with seem very happy and excited about the kick-ass Deathwing making their return and also about the Goblin and Worgen new races, but a few of the old school hardcore players are complaining that they want newer content beyond Northrend, etc..etc. But personally I think this is a great move that Blizzard has made and should prove to be very exciting when the expansion is released. By the way, I have not heard an official release date as of yet.
The Cataclysm site is now up along with the new trailer and artwork and can be seen here.
And FINALLY, Flying in all of Azeroth!!! WOOT!!
Here are some of the new features in Cataclysm that Tom Chilton and the panel talked about:

I am one user of WOW account who just awaits there new inventions. Thanks a lot for the information
It'll definitely be nice to see the Azeroth lands rejuvinated! On some raiding realms it's quite hard to find a PUG – everyone grinds quick through quests to get to Outland/Northrend and misses a lot of great stuff!
((Very true, and finding a good pug is even harder! But yeah, people miss so much good stuff grinding through the quests just way too fast, I personally went back with a couple of alts. just to get a better understanding of a lot of the lore. It was well worth the extra time spent!!))
