If ye fear spoilers for Cataclysm, then shall ye turn back? Yes, yes ye shall!
Because seriously, that's all this is. Pictures of the new Deepholm zone, with gorgeous vistas, old friends and new enemies, and a few quest rewards thrown in to make you say, "Oooh, I want one." Gaze upon some of the most interestingly outlandish settings ever created for World of Warcraft and be amazed.

I love how those stone pillars break up into floating stone pieces at one time and are intact the next. This entire zone has awesome artwork and I hope the new Therazane model will be great too. The sheer size of the zone is amazing as well.
Here's hoping Uldum and the Twilight Highlands top even this.

"Troggzor the Earthinator" Hahahaha. How clever of you, Blizzard.

I think Guild Wars did it best 4 or so years ago, with Rodgort and the skills named after him:

There might be spoilers here. I'm pretty good at detecting these things.

Hey I'm just wondering when this might arrive in stores i'm really bad a guessing dates and i'm sure some more experienced players would be better, but my guess is Nov. 27th. Does that sound reasonable or am I way off. Can someone please tell me?
Noyou Aug 5th 2010 3:45PM
All we can do is guess right now. My guess is the week before or after Blizzcon.
Knob Aug 5th 2010 5:03PM
Unfortunately going by the state of the beta, I would say we'll be very lucky if it releases in November.
Noyou Aug 5th 2010 6:03PM
Yeah. I can see that scenario playing out too. Seems like it's getting late in the design for a lot of new stuff popping up. That being said it seems they get stuff (or just hold onto it) done quickly when they want to. They probably have a team of Gnomish engineers working on it on a private server and just want to trickle it into Beta so the testers heads don't asplode.

Millhouse! How could you?
Radioted Aug 5th 2010 6:50PM
My thought exactly! Milihouse, I am dissapoint.

Thoughts as I flipped through these:
. . . Hey! Thrall finally got some new gear! . . .
. . . Wow, that's pretty cool looking . . .
. . . Haha, whatever Rossi. You just want to show off Mim's Head and your 277 gear. Wait, what's with the Crit gems in your - Oh, no more ArP. Right. . . .
. . . Ugh, would be nice to see some new Elemental models instead of the ones they used in Ragefire Chasm . . .
. . . This place kinda seems like a cross between Nagrand, Netherstorm and Shadowmoon Valley . . .
. . . Ewwww, the Princess Theredraas model? . . .
. . . Dude! Orgrim's Hammer got messed up!!

I might feel REALLY stupid after asking this but isn't Deepholm underwater, and if so how can you use a regular flying mount underwater, I thought that's what the seahorse thingy was for. Ok now commence with the stupid nub...
Matthew Rossi Aug 5th 2010 4:50PM
It's not underwater. The portal to it is in the Maelstrom, yeah, but the place itself is in another plane of existence. You just get there via a huge whirlpool.
Noyou Aug 5th 2010 6:10PM
I think this zone is really choice.
Wix Aug 5th 2010 6:30PM
But...but...but...where's the undeadonraptoronsharkwithfrickinlaserbeams????

Wow! What's Millhouse doing there?!?!?
