One of the most anticipated game releases &#8212; <em>ever &#8212;<\/em>\u00a0is upon us at 12:00am December 7th, Tuesday morning. Some people will be in a mad rush looking for server firsts for leveling (though I hear that might not have an achievement this time) or <a href=\"http:\/\/wow.joystiq.com\/2010\/12\/06\/insider-trader-the-race-for-a-realm-first-in-professions\/\" target=\"_blank\">professions<\/a>. Personally, I&#8217;m going to take my sweet time with it. I have no desire to blow through the new content. I&#8217;m going to relish every moment I don&#8217;t have to farm Utgarde\u00a0Keep or the Oculus. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll miss my hunters 55% unbuffed crit and my Paladins ability to spam heals without caution once I reach 85, but I can&#8217;t lie; I&#8217;m pretty damn excited.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I work tomorrow morning (the 7th) at 8am, I&#8217;m going to be at midnight release at my local GameStop and will be installing and playing (cross fingers\/knock on wood\/pray) tonight, likely far too late into the morning. So today, I read. I&#8217;m hoping to finish the <a href=\"http:\/\/us.battle.net\/wow\/en\/forum\/topic\/1008210856\" target=\"_blank\">Shattering novel<\/a>\u00a0and I&#8217;ve been reading almost all the guides that WoW Insider has up regarding the new content, professions, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of that, you really should go <a href=\"http:\/\/wow.joystiq.com\/category\/cataclysm\/\" target=\"_blank\">here, to WoW Insider Cataclysm topic search<\/a>. The have some good recent posts about the guild perks from guild leveling, some dungeon guides, class guides, and profession information. They also are running some great <a href=\"http:\/\/wow.joystiq.com\/category\/contests\/\" target=\"_blank\">contests<\/a>\u00a0like <a href=\"http:\/\/wow.joystiq.com\/2010\/12\/06\/wow-insiders-cataclysm-launch-giveaway-j-nx-100-coupon\/\" target=\"_blank\">THIS ONE<\/a>\u00a0for a 100$ Jinx coupon. I think they all end between tonight and tomorrow, so go check them out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and that&#8217;s all for today folks. Now I&#8217;m off to finish the book, maybe get my rogue to 80, and wait for the big release.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm, that sounded worse than I meant it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you&#8217;re excited or nervous\u00a0about the coming Cataclysm (the expansion that is, since Azeroth is already shattered), tonight it finally arrives.
