Late this afternoon, Blizzard created an official forum for their next expansion, The Wrath of the Lich King. Both the U.S. Wrath forum and the European Wrath forum are just now filling up with the usual questions, and some are already getting blue responses.
From the U.S. forums:
- CM Nethaera confirms one new hero class is planned for each expansion
- CM Bornakk confirms the level restriction on using flying mounts in Northrend has not be set yet (maybe L78, maybe not)
- CM Bornakk implies that initial travel to Northrend will by boat and zeppelin
- CM Vaneras has moved the all things announced about Northrend post to this forum and confirmed today that Ulduar is a dwarven instance that will be accessible by both Horde and Alliance
- CM Vaneras also moved the all things announced about Death Knights post to this forum
- Forum VIP Schwick has stickied his round up of all confirmed dev quotes about the Wrath expansion and put it at the top of the forum

We know Alliance enter Howling Fjord via boat to Valgarde and go via boat to Borean Tundra to Justice Keep. And for Horde they go by Zeppelin to Vengeance Landing in Howling Fjord and in Borean Tundra by zeppelin to Warsong Hold. What we don't knw is where the zeppelins and boats originate from except for Vengeance Landing which is connected to Undercity. It can be guessed Warsong Hold is connected to Orgrimmar.

The Gnome Outpost in Borean Tundra has an Airstrip. It might be wishful thinking, but I like to think Alliance will arrive there via planes taken from the Ironforge/Dun Morogh Airfield.
And it seems like Hordies will get to Borean Tundra via a boat that initially lands at Kaskala(the Tuskarr capital, though Hordies landing there first is just a guess). So maybe Hordies will be getting a boat dock somewhere on Kalimdor to connect. Maybe Shadowprey Village in Desolace? It would fit with each continent having one route to Northrend for each faction(Theramore boat for Alliance, Tirisfal zeppelin for Horde to Howling Fjord/Ironforge Airstrip for Alliance, and an unnamed dock for Horde for Borean Tundra).

The game is dead until the expansions is released in 6-12 months, learn to live with this kind of updates.

I wish they would use Silvermoon as one of the gateways for Horde - it is never busy there, and the place could be so much better if people started actually using the stores and facilities there.

@1 My guess is the Sunwell plateau is one of the launching points. As for the Kalmidor launch point, that's anyone's guess.
