Tipa must not need much sleep. Between work, gaming, reading blogs, writing for your own blog and the stories and comics she does, when the hell does she eat and sleep??

Goblins and Worgen would give the Horde a small race and the Alliance a furry one, but it's unclear what else they would really do to shake up the game. I have already played all of but one of the game's classes through at least level 23. Unless there's something fundamentally different, I don't see why the new races would motivate me to re-roll using classes that I either already have or did not like. I would definitely make one of each new race just to experience the new content, but that's maybe a week or two's worth of content. (The same case could be made for New Halas in EQ2 - if I were calling the shots, I'd argue for more T9 content instead of a sixth path from 1-20, and, barring that, more content in the 50-70 range.) Perhaps Blizzard has something novel in mind, such as starting the new guys at level 40 so that their starting areas could ALSO serve as additional content for alts that are currently bogged down in the 40-60 range. Barring that, this does not really seem like a killer expansion feature to me. Though I don’t share Hudson’s distaste for the quest hub model, he has a point.
