Blizzard have been kind enough to share the official Rage of the Firelands trailer with us, which will take effect with the deployment of WoW Patch 4.2.
The time to strike at Ragnaros draws near. The battle to protect Mount Hyjal now rages in the depths of Ragnaros's smoldering realm. As territory is gained by Azeroth's defenders and they draw closer to the inner sanctums of the Firelands, a monumental task awaits. Ragnaros's lair--Sulfuron Keep--is closely guarded by his most loyal servants, including the traitorous Druids of the Flame and their mysterious leader...

yup... Ok so i'm not 100% if that is the model they are using but if so, yeah enjoy the art department sticking legs onto things that don't need them. I thought the whole "his body is made of molten lava" thing worked quite well. In 2011 though he needs legs to move.

I don't think you ever see Thrall get his b**** in the game, at the start of Cataclysm shes already there, but theres a book they put out before Cataclysm that tells Thrall's story, of how he went from warchief to being the shaman that is going to save the world and he hooks up with that chick while hes on a pilgrimage back to Outland. And just for extra geek points, she is calling him Goel is because that is his real name, Thrall is a name the humans gave to him when he was their slave.
And yeah, that Ragnaros model is reeeeeeeeeeally old, it hasn't looked like that for a while now, and he only pulls himself up onto his legs in the heroic version of the fight.

The dagger was so slow and heavy hitting that it meant you didn't have to duel wield swords and flurry. You could go for big crits in backstab instead. 90% of fights you'd top dps and you manged threat via vanish but occasionally there'd be a fight where you couldn't hit the back of a target. So instead you went and got a samwich from the fridge.
The rest of my rogues stuff was mostly t2, but that dagger was so cool. Perditions blade maybe? It magaged to make my rogue even viable for Naxx. Although mostly I played my mage.
Then I sold both those characters and quit wow. The first time.

But I love the story behind it all, so the awesome part of the trailer for me was just the story stuff at the start with Thrall, that stuff felt epic.

How can you look at that trailer and not think it looks s***? There's only so much ancient engine you can cover with groovy art direction.
