They played the same parts I did on my walkthrough, including the gigantic furnace walls, new Vrykul race, a few "proto-drakes," and the first boss, the Warlock who summons some big Vrykul skellys throughout the fight. There's not a lot new to hear about if you've been reading everything so far, but if you weren't able to make it to BlizzCon, it'll be your first chance to see everything from Northrend's first 5man on video.

I have a screen shot of killing the first boss in Utgarde Keep. With my PTR xfer Charcter and 4 other dudes with 2 were my buddies. Tell me where to post it and i will. All the first boss droped was that Monkey pet you can get from the WoW Card game. My name was Addiction.

Dear Lord. www.gameriot.com used to be my old website. I sold it to some dude for a few bucks and found out it was RJReynolds that bought it.
Okay, back on topic.

" Blizzard strictly forbade any video or pictures of live gameplay during BlizzCon "
You could take Pictures Mike, You could not take Video and if you reached that point to the first boss to get a shot at him... They would give you extra time, not just 20 mins of play time. We had 4 - 5 shots at the boss till we got him down the 6th time. We were the first and only ones that i know of that got that far in that instance the rest of the people were running around and pvp'ing but each to there own i guess. Im a raider so thats what i looked for and from what we seen wile playing there are 2 instances Upper and Lower Utgarde Keep. Sucky part is not being able to use your mount to run all the way in which wasted alot of time. So its going to be like getting to UBRS / BRD / MC all over again which is very sad face.

@Addictions, well I played in the press room where playtime was unlimited. :) But yeah I didn't snap any pictures. We heard reports of people taking pictures of Starcraft II gameplay on the floor and being asked to leave the building. So I didn't test any boundaries at all. We took lots of pictures (and even some movies) of the gameplay videos, though, and even though Blizzard supposedly banned all laptops from the convention floor, we had ours out and blogging the whole time.
