General FAQ
Will we still be leveling in old-world Azeroth pre-80 and then have the changes phased in at 80? No, this is one of the biggest questions asked by players learning of Cataclysm for the first time. As soon as patch 4.0 is launched, old-world Azeroth will vanish from the game files forever. Even if you do not buy the expansion, your level 1-60 content will still be that of a post-cataclysm world. Blizzard also has no plans to allow us to travel back to the old world through the CoT. ''Excuse me, this is only half the expansion I wanted. Where's my 85-90?'' Yeah.... Blizzard is going to revamp all of 1-58, create new content for 78-85, and make 2 new races, we get about 65 levels of new content, and 2 new races. If that wasn't enough, blizz has stated they plan to make each level 78-85 mean something major, so it will be more content-intensive. If that isn't enough for you to consider this a whole expansion, just don't buy it. ''What's with the Alliance losing all sorts of land? Blizz is bias!'' So far we have seen only pictures of horde gains, yes. But keep in mind that at blizzcon, most players are horde, and most devs are horde. As such, they show more horde victory to get the majority of players pumped up. We know Ally has a base at the stonetalon/north barrens border. We know they lose southshore, but gain Gilneas in Lordaeron. And for all we know, all of south Kalimdor might be Alliance-territory.

Worgen FAQ
Are Worgen going to be stuck in human form out of combat, or be allowed to fight in human form? No, and I can tell where this is coming from. We were all informed at Blizzcon09 that Worgen will have a human form. One of their racials pertains to this, Two Forms (or as I call it, Transform). This racial allows them to switch to their not in use form. You will be REQUIRED to be in worgen form if you are in combat, but out of combat this will allow you to chose to be human or worgen at will. Can I design both my Human and worgen forms, or will one be decided for me? We have confirmation that you can design both Human and Worgen form, we are not sure exactly how they will make that work yet. But you will not have Human form dictated by your Worgen form choices, or vice-versa. Will Worgen become the new class for idiots, like Blood Elves were? I see this as a yes and a no. From the in-game shots, Male Worgen are fairly fierce and will attract more of the normal gamer. However, concept art of a Female Worgen make them out to be like anime foxgirls, which will attract that type of player. It all depends on how the female worgen will end up at launch. Will Worgen be skinnable? The short answer is no. If we could skin Worgen, we could skin Tauren, or use undead-only moves on Forsaken. And since we can't, chances are we won't be leveling skinning on our fallen furry alliance race.

Goblin FAQ
If Goblins are joining the Horde, who will be the neutral race to take their place? The Goblins you are talking about are the Steamwheedle Cartel. The Goblins that will join the horde are the Bilgewater Cartel. Due to this, all Goblin cities currently in game are staying neutral.

Stats FAQ
What's this I hear about lots of stats that used to be raid-required being removed? Yes, a lot of stats such as AP, SP, ArPen, Defense, ect are being removed. The reasoning for this is they want to focus more on your core stats (str, sta, agi, int, spi)instead on the several dozens of other stats. Instead of a raid tank needing AP, Hit, Defense, Crit, Pen, you will need strength, Hit, and stamina. In the long run it is simplifying the stats, it is also removing the different stats you would have to stack up on.

Talent FAQ
What's with all these talents that give stats being removed? A lot of talents that give stats like 2% crit, or 50 AP are being removed. Instead, a new system called Mastery will be put in to give these stats. As you spec points into your tree, the mastery stats will slowly grow stronger. There will be 3 different masteries for each tree, and the last one will be modified by the new stat Mastery. This last one "makes you better at what you do" and is usually designed to benefit your tree the most, and scales with Mastery.

Classes FAQ
What's up with Trolls and Worgen getting new beasts? Big thing with this question is nothing is confirmed. Blizz has stated that Troll and Worgen druid get their own forms, but has said nothing about wether this means new beasts or just reskins.

I will include more changes as I find them frequently asked on the WoW general forums.
