Liking the new areas so far..though the starting areas are a tad on the busy side. Nice to be able to fly around Org though!
incidentally if you not played it yet make sure you start the quest chain in Org or you will struggle to get quests!
:D

Liking the goblin stuff so far. In no rush to try/see everything on the first day, there won't be another expansion for a while.

Just dinged 85.
Liked everything so far, the dungeons are pretty challenging (but not massively, hoping heroics are harder)
Questing is all fucking awesome, lot of character and feel to stuff.

Is this the person that did the 5/6 hour L85 ding?

If so, it's not quite as bad.

I really enjoyed the Worgen intro, two more levels than the Goblin one and a more epic feel to the events, though oddly I think less quests.
I deleted my L20 druid to make room for my Worgen druid and rather wish I hadn't now - they're much more fun than I remember them. At least I can now have a troll druid, I've never liked the Tauren character models.
It remains to be seen if the new races still hold interest after their intro quests and are now dumped unceremoniously back into Normaltown. The special abilities you got to use during those quests, especially the goblin ones were great fun, but are unlikely to reappear if you're doing the same quests as every other race.
It feels like only a partial introduction of the new races, with no new towns the other races can visit, new factions or racial mounts. It seems an odd way to do it considering the opportunity to create new public areas was there as they remodelled so much of the existing landscape.

There are new mounts. Goblins get those rocket dragster things. There are factions too (Bilgewater Cartel for the goblins), although I'm not sure if they're new. A new city would have been nice, but didn't they put some new ones in anyway? I remember the prediction that Gnomeregan would become inhabited, and I think Sen'Jin is bigger, although I suspect it's not a city. Maybe they're just new starting areas.

I did spy that Gnome characters are now pictured outside of Gnomeregan instead of Ironforge. As I said earlier I haven't seen all the new content and am not in a rush to do so, I was just comparing my first impressions to those of when they added Blood Elves and Draenei where the additions were more noticeable and other races could quest in their regions for rep. I heard Goblins get a trike and Worgen get a "run fast" in lieu of a mount, but I haven't seen either in action yet.
