WotLK Alpha NDA lifted

Nethaera posted in the beta forums that the NDA for the Wrath of the Lich King Alpha has been lifted. In response to a question asking if people could share things from the Alpha, Neth says "Feel free to discuss at will." This is great news for everyone that wants to talk about the alpha material legally. Those who've been part of the Alpha will get to post troves of information and stories that they've collected. I'm sure some of them will be going up on WoW Insider soon enough, and these will only expand as beta invites become more active.The Alpha NDA was a source of tension for a lot of people, especially those in the Alpha. Several set up or contributed to sites like DeathKnight.info and WotlkWiki.com. It was very difficult, if not impossible, for Blizzard to enforce the NDA. However they were successful in forcing WotLKWiki.com to relocate.
It will be interesting to see what the repercussions of the lifted NDA end up to be. One thing is for sure though, and that's that we're starting to see new and exciting information about WotLK come out minute by minute. Stay tuned!

"The Alpha NDA was a source of tension for a lot of people, especially those in the Alpha."
Funny, I wonder why...

You can't mean because so many people broke it so blatantly and unapologetic...ally!

well, now that is gone...let me note that the alliance has 2 wonderful starting areas, imo.
i thought howling fjord was quite unlike any other zone in wow so far, whereas borean tundra was a bit more traditional, but with some utterly wonderful quests. i honestly think people will like these zones very much.
incidentally...if you come to the 'use the harpoon to burn the buildings' quest in HF, use the reticle to bisect the top of the roof. also some of the flying mobs can't quite be shot at from every station, so it pays to clear to both guns (unless blizz actually fixed this. :)

i didnt like how close horde and ally towns are in boorean. i understand the theory behind it but theres too much singularity in the game allready.
also i agree with you about howling fjord. i entered through boorean so the first time i experienced the fjord it was from the top because i ran all the way across northrend lol, (its big). even from the top its just massive. its got to be the tallest cliffs in the game. my favorite part was down in the fjord when you enter the cves. i really dig that misty layered smoke effect. that and the new fire effect are really cool.
