Holy hell... MONKS!
For those of you just joining us my original character on an MMORPG was a monk on Everquest... and Mmy dream in WOW since DAY ONE was to play a Pandaran Monk...a dream I thought would never come to be...
Holy crap.
Monks actually divide out too...tank, healer and melee dps. Their whole style is different too...no auto attack. A brewmaster tank, eh?

And the free Diablo 3 and beta access with 1 year pass...yeah, I just signed for that now. I planned on keeping wow active for another year anyways, and it bills monthly..so i lose ntohing, gain a mount, beta access, and DIABLO FUCKING 3 for free. Cant go wrong there.
The sad thing is that I'll still have to get the D3 collector's edition, cus I'm a sucker for their CE's. I've got the D2 and all the WoW CEs. So Tyrael's Charger and a pet? Please.

I'm the same with CE's. I signed up for the free D3 but I intend on buying the CE as well. According to the FAQs, if you add the CE to the Battle.net account linked with the free D3, they'll provide you four months of WoW time. Not a bad deal.
I'm very excited for pandas and monks. Did you guys see the animations preview for the monk class? Whole ton of new class-specific animations, including a neat spin-kick.
My favorite announcement was vanity pets account-wide. >.>
Also, challenge modes sound super fun. From the FAQ:
Q: What are Challenge Modes for 5-player dungeons?
Challenge mode is a new, advanced mode for 5-player dungeons designed for players looking for the ultimate test of coordination and skill. In challenge modes, players are tasked with trying to complete an existing 5-player dungeon as quickly and skillfully as possible. Depending on how well the group does, players will receive recognizable prestige rewards such as mounts, pets, titles, achievements, or special armor artwork that can be used with transmogrification to customize a character’s appearance. The inspiration for challenge modes comes from events such as the 45-minute Baron Rivendare runs in the original Stratholme dungeon, or the timed Zul’Aman dungeon run for the Amani War Bear.
We want challenge modes to be a test of player skill and not of player gear, and so the stats on all players’ armor and equipment will be normalized to a set level upon beginning a challenge. As a result, players will have the same chance at victory whether they are wearing quest rewards or Heroic-raid-level epic items. Regardless of equipment, challenge modes will remain just as challenging at the end of the expansion as they were at the beginning.
Things I like:
1) Ancient CHina themes
2) Monks with no auto-attack
3) Talents that you can switch in the field.
4) Normalized iLevel challenges.
Things I don't like:
1) More comic relief races.
2) The fact that Pandaren see combat as a pleasurable brawl - mixing that with Peace Through Annihilation will take a lot of effort.
Grisbault, Twice-Made.
The p, s, l, and t are silent, the screams are not.
Hunter minimum range is gone!
Hunter melee weapon is gone!
So beautiful... No words...
*sniff* I promise I wouldn't cry..
"I love trolls. They are awesome. They are the best race ever created in WoW in my opinion. You gave us the new heroics and they were great and fun to play. But will we ever see a return of the troll empires?
*Chris looks like he got the best idea ever just now* If the troll tribes could ever unite, look out world! We are going to continue the troll storyline in MoP. We will probably actuallize the Zandalari. They are not done yet and they are crazy. They are being driven by something just now."
Please that all is holy and unholy No. More. Trolls. I throw in the towel. Fucking Trolls. Just one expansion I'd like to see not one troll zone or troll tribe or ZA v3.0 or some other god awful Troll instance.

Not to mention that their own kind will be "against" them in the Alliance. The Pandaren don't seem like the type to hate each other for choosing different factions. I suppose we'll see how this develops with their starting zone and why they would choose one faction over another.
