Espen André Øverdahl - I read blogs for a living

I attended the press event Blizzard hosted here in Norway for "The Burning Crusdade". Here are some of the highlights:

Flying Mounts. There will be armored Gryphons (Alliance) and Bats (Horde) for players to use in PvP (not sure about PvE).
Two new races. Draenei for Alliance and Blood Elfs for Horde (old news, but hey, I got a chance to see them ingame, and I must admit that Blood Elf Female looks pretty damn hawt!).
Increase of 5-man instances. Outland will be completely different to Azeroth. There will be no more than 7 new dungeons with a crap load of "wings" for players to explore. Frank Pierce pointed out that most of these dungeons will be limited to either 5 or 10 people. The reason to decrease the raid limit from 40 to 25 is to give the players a more including role in raids. They pointed out that it is far to easy (for some classes) to be a free passenger in raids.
Outland is gonna be massive.

The best thing was after all the chatting we got to play on laptops with characters equipped with full tier 3 epix! Quite amusing. Now that I've gotten a taste on what's to come, I'm even more excited! All in all, it was a great showcase and I had a great time
