I hope this topic comes across right - maybe some people will flame it, maybe some will appreciate it. I'm easy. If the community doesn't like it, fine - I'm only trying to encourage a discussion and for people to express their feelings.
Obviously, the expansion is a long while off yet, but, hell, it's coming, and there ain't a thing anyone can do about it. The World (our beautiful make believe one) will change, it's going to be no small thing, and it's permanent.
Everything about the Azeroth that we
all
, without exception, started in, whether it be 4 years ago or 4 days ago, is changing so dramatically, I just can't help but wonder how people feel about that.
Maybe you are a veteran player, who after taking 10 different alts through it, is fed up of it all, and you just want to get on with the major business going down in Northrend. Maybe you're one of the old guard that loves it for its twee, nostalgic charms, and you like to wander through Elwynn Forest, in your epic gear, just to remember those good old days of being chased, fearing for your life, by level 3 Murlocs.
Or maybe you're quite a new player, who is worried that you might not see all the things others have experienced in the time you have left.
Do you have a favourite zone you are going to weep to see destroyed or revamped? A favourite Quest chain that you are worried will disappear in the wake of coming events? Or are you maybe just worried that physical changes will interfere with some of your happier memories, which will fade as you struggle to reconcile your visions of the past with what is in front of your eyes?
Old
Azeroth gets a lot of flak; for boring Quests, slow travel, small zones, or far too big zones (Barrens, on foot - argh!), rubbish loot, "pointless" Dungeons and Raids, the list goes on.
But remember...we all started there. And there MUST have been something about it that kept you playing, all those long days and nights before BC and Wrath, something that hooked you in.
So how do you feel about the coming Cataclysm?
Personally, although I can't wait to see it...a little part of me feels like I just heard my home town has been nuked.
Here's to the future, and to the past. Old Azeroth, I'll miss you. You gave me so many happy memories.

I plan on leveling a Horde toon to 80 before Cataclysm comes out, because that's the one side of the quest game I haven't experienced yet. I'd like to see those story lines before they possibly go away. Other than that, I think I'm very much looking forward to it.

Personally, I'm rather excited about the changes.
I mean, it's NEW stuff. I dunno about you or anyone else, but I like doing new things, and seeing how it interacts and works. I probably will miss Old Azeroth, because it had lots of lore in it, but New Azeroth will bring more lore, so you can't really complain too much. And more raids, BGs, talents, and just about everything that any player would want.
Plus, goblins and worgen!

Actually, I'm in the same boat. I have never, ever played Horde...and now I find myself wondering if I should frantically take one through the content before it's gone for good.
(I say frantically, because it took me 8 months to get my main to 80, and I haven't even scratched the surface of the game, or done half of what I would
like
to do)

Well now that you say it I am going to miss old Azeroth. I remember my first character who was an undead warlock back when bc just started. I went on a little raid at lvl 13 and we had no clue what I was doing, when we got to stranglethorn we saw lots of raptor things and the group owned it as I stood there amazed.
But then again it's still guna be the same Azeroth we know and love, just a bit... Destroied and all.

Screen shots! Take lots of screen shots! organize server wide screen shots!
Gather up the horde and the alliance, meet in orgrimmar, and take lots of pictures.
Actually, you know what, that is a damn good idea! (not the Alliance thing in Orgrimmar, I smell a trick there, you bad man)
But a photo album! Hell, it's so easy to hit Print Screen every now and then, I think I'll spend a week or two just doing some travel, and taking some pictures. Then, I don't have to rely on my soggy brain to recall how it all was
"when we were young"
(TM).

Dang, that's a really good idea. Not right away, mind, but still a good idea.
