I just read this and it turns out that, not only are those rumors about Goblins and Worgen true! Blizzard have some more crazy stuff planned.
 
New level cap will be raised to 85 (they don't want to hit lvl 100 too soon as they have more expansions planned).
 
Some race/class barriers have been removed so now you can have; Troll Druid, Tauren Paladin (I would totally make one if I still played), Dwarf Mage and Undead hunters etc.
 
Sounds pretty funky.

Sounds pretty neat. I don't see WoW going away for a very long time. 

Well if this is true then it looks like they are just trying to add in stuff fans have been asking for since the first expansion. They have always been strong in the belief that the goblins are a neutral race and certain races can only be certain jobs. To me it seems that the lore fans are going to be up in arms about every aspect of this expansion and Blizzard is just desperately trying to churn out content to keep it alive. I know I sound like a naysayer but this is coming from kicking the WoW drug a few months back. Just seems like fanfare to me.

Fake.

I've read some of the leaks/rumors about it.  I guess we will wait and see if it's true or not.

Well MMO champion was right about the WotLK so I'm going to assume that 99% of this information is true. Looks like they are finally showing signs of slowing down on the new content. No new continent, no new classes, just cleaning up and revamping now.

They're citing SOMETHING AWFUL as a reliable source
 
Come on :P

It's MMO Champion, which basically means it's correct info.  Also, it makes a lot of sense as well.  Fans have been begging for Grim Batol, Uldum, Hyjal, and other areas to finally be unlocked.  Doing a drastic remodeling of Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor is about the only thing that could pull me back into the game at this point.  If all this is true, or even part of it is true, then I'll be back in the saddle.

There's been a big discussion about this over at MMORPG.com. Personally, I am in with the crowd that thinks this isn't real, or not all of it is real. As has been stated, Something Awful is cited as a source and that's about as reliable as saying you get your news from 4chan. Things like Tauren Paladin and Gnome Priests I just find to be rediculous. However, I could see some of this being true. Blizz has been talking about revamping Old Azeroth since BC and there's things such as Human Hunters that players have been demanding since day 1. Also, Dwarf Mages were in the Beta if I remember correctly, but then there was a lot in the beta that never made it out with good reason. Rogues could wear plate and Hunters could use shields back then...
 
Anyway, I'll believe it when I see it confirmed at Blizzcon this week.

I want all of this to be true therefore it is true.

Although it sounds nice it doesnt make sense. How could they make an expansion after Wotlk that includes its first hero class, and not continue bringing others. At least one dps hero class and one healing hero class.

It's not a stretch to believe they could take an alternating New Races/New Class approach to expansions.

seems weird to me they'd set an odd number level cap.

and go for 2-3 years with only one hero class available? I think it is...

If this is true, then I might start playing wow again.

Even if it is true, I still won't play WoW.

It seems to me that the Death Knight was more or less just a new class as opposed to a "hero" class. I know that was the bullet point on the back of the box, but nothing about playing one made me feel much more powerful than any other class. "

I doubt it would be true, the new classes for races make no sense at all. Nigh Elf mage? Goes against all lore that has been set. Also thats hell of alot of work for an expansion. If it is true ,which a doubt very much, it would get me playing wow again.

At first, one of the things that threw me off the most was the exclusion of a new hero class from this list. (As others have posted as well) However, I've since realized that, should the xpack notes be legitimate, it doesn't mean that they are all-inclusive. It's just as easy for this list to be omitting something as it is for something on there to be fake. Blizz still needs a few cards to play at Blizzcon (this year and next, at the least) and this list in no way rules out hero classes in future xpacks.  Though, for the record, I wouldn't mind if they don't add any at all...

I think we have to take into consideration that none of this has actually been confirmed. Aswell as the fact that Blizzard likes to throw people for a loop sometimes.  
 
That aside this stuff does sound very cool. 

Here blizzard goes ruining WoW some more.
