Mounts in Action

Check out these YouTube videos of beta mounts. XD

The Hog -- no doubt sped up.
Mammoth Mount -- just like a war elephant.
Frost Wyrm Flying Mount -- is it just for Death Knights? I hope not!
Bear Mount -- not quite as cool as an Amani War Bear.

WotLK Cinematic and The Hog

Maxconsole.net reported the following mail from Blizz PR regarding WotLK. It has been widely circulated but has yet to be officially confirmed:

Just wanted to let you all know that Blizzard will be unveiling the opening cinematic movie for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King at the Games Convention in Leipzig. The cinematic will be shown at 1:00 p.m., Thursday 21 August at the Blizzard Entertainment booth (D01 in Hall 5). A Q&A session featuring members of the cinematics team will immediately follow.

Blizzard’s lineup of activity will also feature hands-on gameplay with StarCraft II and Wrath of the Lich King, Q&A sessions with members from the StarCraft II and Diablo III teams, and more.

Also, The Hog has been confirmed in-game:

• A few more changes have been or are being made to classes: Druid armour; Hunters' pet growl, boar charge and kill command; Shadow priests (I'm looking forward to seeing these changes); and Shaman totem tweaks and earth shock downranking.
• The recently added /cower animation is being tweaked. Source.
• Some passwords on the beta server may have changed to new ones when refreshed from live accounts. Source.

It seems that some players are excited about the release of the expansion. Even blues. XD

And finally, there is an update to the Blizzcon ticket lottery.
