Dragonblight preview revealed

It seems there are many factions at work in this zone. The Horde and the Alliance, obviously. The Scourge is another obvious one, seeing as it is in Northrend. In addition to that we have the Red and Blue Dragonflights, and the remnants of the Scarlet Crusade, the Scarlet Onslaught. I may be a horrible person for looking forward to faction grinds, but I've wanted Red Dragonflight rep since the World of Warcraft began. We have three Bronze Dragonflight reputation grinds, but zero Red? C'mon!
The official website has some excellent shots of the zone, and a fly-over of the terrain. If you haven't seen it yet, definitely go check it out.

that looks pretty good.
also it seems Naxxramas is there. or at least an other Necropolis

I hope they redo some of the buildings, because there's a moment when I was looking at tyr's hand in the snow, same buildings and all. That's not very fresh !

"In an attempt to arrest these invasions, the red Dragon Aspect, Alexstrasza, has begun recruiting heroes to aid in the fight against the Scourge" - how does that not sound like a red dragonflight rep grind is coming?

That's what I meant- I'm glad we're finally getting one. Apologies for not being clear!

Naxxramas! Scarlet Onslaught!
For an earlier zone, this looks very icy (and good), but nearer what I had expected the later Storm Peaks or Icecrown Glacier to be. It seems like the zones will be more mixed as lvl progression goes on.

Looks like getting to Arthas will be a bit harder then expected. A epic server wide joint faction siege on Icecrown sounds....well...EPIC!
And its good to see the Scarlet Crusade back, they are after all the Horde version of the Defias to some extent, seeing their story finish will be cool indeed.

Sounds like the AQ War Effort or Shattered Sun Offensive 2.0.

also wathing that video that zone reminds me of desolace.
flat, empty, highborn ruins, and the place dragons go to die.
replace dragons with kodo and you have desolace

This was the area i was most anticipating, i'm glad to see that they have done it so well, all the dragon skeletons look awesome. Looks like Naxx might be here too

Naxx is only one of many floating necropolis, and with Northrend being the capital of the scourge I wouldn't be surprised to see more then one.
