Cataclysm Beta: Twilight Highlands and Uldum galleries

Twilight Highlands and Uldum aren't technically open yet in the Cataclysm beta, but when have invisible walls ever stopped someone who really wanted to get into a zone? Resourceful tester Lemon King sends us these monster galleries of questing through both zones, although both are unfinished (especially Uldum). Even so, they look beautiful, and there are some nice surprises in the quests. Obviously, spoilers abound!

Is this gonna get him kicked out of the beta or something? For his sake I hope not.
Thoughts: It kind of appears that Twilight Highlands has some world PvP objectives, which I always like. Also, the health pools I'm seeing on enemy mobs are awesome. 65k-75k health on wandering mobs? That's just sweet.

Oh, and Uldum? New favorite zone. Ramkahan? New favorite faction. I can tell already.
Where's that guy from yesterday who claimed the new zones were obviously not open because they were far from being done?

With normal zone mobs that high, I am looking forward to seeing what the HC mobs and bosses are gonna have.

But *I* really wanted to get in and the invisible walls stopped me! I guess I didn't want to get in as badly as I thought...
In other news....awesome! These zones look to be a considerable step further towards the "dangerous" direction, and I'm looking forward to their completion.

Uldum = Egyptian themes = awesomeness x 100

I cannot look at any of the Uldum images without thinking of Serious Sam.

I hope that there are plenty of Stargate references in Uldum

I would really like to see what they put north of Stormwind in that big empty space of land. If anyone has screenshots of that I would really like to see them!!!

It's full of water now....so there isn't really anything now.
On topic - I *really* want to look at these pictures, but I'm trying hard to avoid new zone spoilers. Old zone updates I'm ok being spoiled on...but I really want the thrill of entering a new zone for the first time without knowing what is around the corner.

Can we tame Camels?

From GC's hints when asked about the moose, and from a datamined model I saw on Wowhead ... you'll almost certainly be able to *ride* camels.

Whoa, Uldum is the sexiest zone in game, Daniel Jackson alt is a go!

I was just flying around the edges of twilight highlands, they look pretty close to finished as does Uldum.
The one area in game that definitely looks like it needs a lot of work, is a small zone between Ghostlands and EPL. Anyone know what's planned for that spot?

Thats FLINTLOCKE over there in Twillight Highlands!
Oh no! The Horde si doomed! (... and the Alliance, for all we know, too!)

The guy who did that comic now -works- for Blizzard. I'm surprised that the Cataclysm didn't happen earlier, in fact...

Uldum looks awesome! Twilight Highlands not so much, a lot seems copied from other zones and something I'll definitely skip over if I can.
Boz - Uldum I definitely see Serious Sam, old school.

From the player's UI, I'm wondering if they finally pared down the number of spells in the game. I say "finally" because I'd love to see at least 20% of them removed--most of my alts have so many spells I'm lucky if there's enough room on my taskbars to put both a mana and a health flask.

Lieutenant Emry?? R Lee Ermy anyone?? That would be AWESOME if they got his voice in game.
