A surprise news for gamers! Just as we thought that World of Warcraft (WoW) will end in Wrath of the Lich King expansion, Blizzard announces that it will release new expansion called World of Warcraft: The Cataclysm. Here are several input as to what expected on this surprised expansion from what we saw and hear directly in Blizzcon 2009; (Opinions are strictly directly said from Blizzard representatives, not gamephoton)

New Stuff

bullet New races: Goblin (Horde) and Worgen (Alliance)
bulletLevel cap increases to 85 - Why not lvl 90? we want to focus time and energy on new contents and in-game contents.
bullet7 New Zones - Mount Hyjal, Uldum, Lost Isles and Gilneas (Starting point for Goblins and Worgen), Sunken City of Vashj'ir (Underwater Zone), Twilight Islands, and Grim Batol (Zone for leveling 80 to 85).

The Lore

Worgen

Gilneas, Homecity of Worgen located south of Silverpine Forest. Before Worgen existed, the inhabitants of Gilneas were called Gilneans. Gilneans were ravaged by the Worgen curse. Fear of the curse spreading, the alliance severed all ties to the Gilneas city. Much of its story become swallowed by the ongoing war with the Lich King. Within the barred wall, there have been ongoing bloody civil war between the Gilneans. As the cataclysm reawakened, it seems the barred wall of Gilneas city will open once again....

Goblin

Goblins have a known reputation for its shrewd business. Their sense of doing business are so strong that they prefer to gain profits benefited from war between Horde and Alliance, while remaining neutral to both factions. Their neutrality nature will be shaken after the cataclysm event. At first, the Goblins trade princes was trying to find potential profits by offering the panicked goblins a ticket to safety on his ship, taking their life savings then selling them to slavery. However, the naval battle between A lone Horde ship and Alliance fleet wrecked the goblin prince's ship who was caught in the middle. The shipwreck survivors washed ashore on the Lost Isles coast of Kalimdor. The Lost Isles holds many mysteries within the thick jungles. Few unpleasant surprises waiting to ambush the unsuspected Goblins....
