Cataclysm: Initial User Interface strings

WoW.com brings you another leak of Cataclysm information, this time provided to us by our friends that ran WotLK Wiki, who are now setup under Nihilum Cataclysm Wiki. The information is the first look at the new user interface strings. These provide key glimpses into what the UI, and thus the player, will be doing in Cataclysm.
Obviously, they are not complete and there will be tons more added throughout the alpha and beta phases.
We want to be sure not to give any spoiler content for those that concerned about such things, so everything of substance is after the break. Don't read on if you don't like spoilers.

Notes
- UI strings are text that you see whenever something pops up on the screen, like "You are too far away to attack." or "You need more mana." or "You are dead."
- There are a lot of new strings about the new Battle.net communication system, but we've known about that for a long time. Those are left out.

My guess, using an armor token to upgrade an item, and your doing it wrong. ;)
Vaeku May 6th 2010 12:39PM
What, will we be able to throw coins at enemies like Meowth?
Jon May 6th 2010 1:59AM

Bludstorm May 6th 2010 2:01AM
Isn't this violating the NDA? Or is this ok?
Hangk May 6th 2010 2:13AM
You can't violate an agreement you've never agreed to. The people under the NDA are the ones with access to the alpha/beta; they had to sign it in order to get access. Everybody else can publish any and all Cataclysm leaks as much as they like.

^This.
Plus, the worst thing Blizzard could do is ask WoW.com to take the information down.
Chris May 6th 2010 1:08PM
yes but i am sure blizzard does mind all that much... it helps create hype about the game and lets us wow players time to finally accept the unwelcome changes.

ITEM_REQ_PURCHASE_ACHIEVEMENT
What's this? Might we actually have a use for our achievement points?
jishdefish May 6th 2010 2:09AM
I bet it refers to Guild Achievements.
Hangk May 6th 2010 2:14AM
Inb4 someone comes up with something to QQ about based on this totally vague and liable-to-change-anyway information.
Jon May 6th 2010 2:21AM
Yes OMG!!! ERR_OUT_OF_BALANCE_NEGATIVE QUIT NERFIN' ME BRA!!
Hansbo May 6th 2010 6:00AM
Yes, Ghostcrawler is clearly playing ERR_OUT_OF_BALANCE_POSITIVE.
Naze May 6th 2010 2:26AM
Solar Energy and Lunar Energy for Balance Druids? Interesting....
kooda May 6th 2010 3:00AM
Methinks balance spells will be different in dark and light places? or day and night?
