More like Out-of-reachland

Outland might not actually be reachable yet (it won't be until the expansion is released in January), but already it's popping up all over Azeroth.- Draenei have shown up all over the land, some with extra quests (for Erodar faction). Blood elves already appeared in the game in a few places, and they're now the new models-- Draenei in Swamp of Sorrows have been updated too (although The Broken Ones have stayed the same).
- In addition, Shaman and Pally trainers have appeared in and around the main cities.
- Darkshore is running a new boat to nowhere (yet).
- Outland has shown up on the new ingame World Map.
- Dungeons can be flipped to epic mode (by right clicking on the player portrait), but it doesn't work on any of the current dungeons.
- Jewelcrafting recipes and components have appeared at vendors.
- And finally, the character creation screen, in case you haven't visited it lately, shows two grayed out options for the new races.

Hey Sham don't forget Pally gear will now drop in MC, Ony, and BWL for hordies and vice versa for the alliance with Shammy gear.
All part of Blizz getting ready for TBC in about 5 resets of each raid.......

A very important question: does the patch have the Burning Crusade content? Meaning, can we order the game and ask for the cdkey (email delivery, faster) and start playing before the boxed game arrives on the mail?

Everyone has TBC installed on their PCs now, you can't access it without a CDKey

There was an NPC in Booty Bay tonight giving away riding turtles, among other items, in exchange for a code. I suppose the codes come from the card game.
It was mildly annoying to realize there is content I can't experience without buying something outside the game. Next thing there will be specially marked soda bottles with a code inside the cap good for ingame goodies.

I logged on after work Tuesday night to find amazing new spells at my mage trainer, new maps tucked into my atlas,
and rumors of a boat in Darkshore going to a new island.
Joy! For about ten seconds....it was then that I realized that nothing was accessible to my poor little gnome. Wandering around a little bit, it started to feel like a hard sell for the expansion, which is ridiculous because the masses of WoW are frothing at the mouth for it as it is. It's not a tease, but a taunt. I feel offended, they've created an epic version carrot on a stick, and they're using it on us. Under the guise of game balance, they made the mage 2 shottable by hunters in pvp, they added worthless talents to my loved frost tree (arctic winds, frozen core, 8 useless points) and worst of all, wiped the add on slate by changing the code for addons. In fairness, I do love my new water elemental pet, wish he could live more than 45 secs.....this is the BUY BURNING CRUSADE patch, nothing else.

Seeing blood elves and the new zones on the world map is getting me psyched, I can't wait to start questing and leveling and exploring again!
And uh, leveling up cooking! >:D
