I just recently quit WoW and I know I made the right decision. with the details release on Cataclysm, I dont feel excited at all. I guess it definitely was time to move on!
I think the redesigned azeroth is really cool tho. I will someday check it out!
We'll will probably got a year untill its release, go take a break and come back a re-roll 1-60 is being refreshed should be fun.
With all the new changes to existing zones....I kind of hope Goldshire gets hit by a comet.
I've been watching on and off today and during the Q&A they stated no more skill/spell ranks, instead skills/spells will adjust as you level.
