I'm mostly excited about the shaman class and the changes made to it. Mainly the changes concerning the healing aspect of the class and how it will workout in dungeon and raids!
Other than that I am a really big fan of the lore and therefor I would like to quest and explore as much as possible. Also exploring the new Azeroth compared to how it looked like back in vanilla is high on the excitement list.

Well I am pretty excited about everything in this new expansion. But the thing I can't wait
and I am looking forward to see are the "Reforged" zones. The new ideas about the changes were cool. I can't wait to play as a Troll Druid because I wanted to see that since I played World of Warcraft for the firs time. The idea of the story is good but I am looking forward to see what will happen to Garrosh as the new Warchief. Will the Horde try to kill him for the things he is doing to the most of the Horde. At the Alliance aren't so many things happening, based on this story, but I am looking forward to see if they will "add" some Alliance stories. Well are many things I would like to say but this comment won't allow me. So that's pretty much I am waiting.

Excited about the whole beta really, but if I had to pick one thing it would be the Goblin Female dance.
Reason for this? Everything in the beta is awesome, but you can shake your booty to Beyonce and that to me is better than everything else in Cataclysm! :P

I have played nearly every single class when it comes to WoW and have had tons of fun leveling every single on, yet the biggest thing I am excited to do when I get the chance to either test or play these classes live is to see how blizzard has scaled the new abilities as well as exploring old content with new skins. It will bring an old game back alive, and that is what I am most excited for.
I can not wait until I get to play the original game I loved, reborn.

There are three things that Cataclysm may or may not bring, that makes me spin:
Primo - game mechanics: lots of changes, from hunter mana to focus change, dk rune mechanics, shortening talent trees, reforginig, extensive usage of phasing/shifting. The remake the experience and feel of the two most common classes will solve most of the bland issues (hunter mana) and bring some complexity to the playstyle (dk rotations), new talent trees with 24-32 mandatory talents will leave some room for utility/fun stuff that people tend to not pick up because of too many mandatory talents in TBC/WotLK, reforging will bring more variety to gear choices. Phasing is my favourite, because I love questing and advancing in storyline without a visible changes in the world was a no-go for me. It was well introduced in WotLK and Im happy that Blizzard want to use it more often.
Secundo - social aspect of the game: making 10 and 25 man share the same loot tables and ability to split/merge raids might bring back a depth in the social aspect of the game. I can imagine guilds joining their raids to beat content with the best geared / minded players or spliting them to smaller ones when there's not enough people on-line to form a proper raid. I think it will make a lot of room for guild2guild experience exchange and bring people together, making the community stronger.
Tertio - out-of-game facilities, espc those served by 3rd party developers: ive seen wowhead growing up from a small site, mmochamp becoming no1 source of inside-a-patch infos. Lots of great work was made by people interested in the industry and Im sure a lot will come. I, as a front-end developer and art director wait for those web-based facilities more than anything.
Nevertheless time will tell what Cataclysm will bring, things change fast and, due to not getting into beta yet, Im not able to contribute to the development as I was in TBC/WotLK betas. Maybe ZAM's network will give me this opportunity.

The thing I'm most looking forward to in Cataclysm is finally being able to fly in the old worlds. It has always bugged me since they introduced flying mounts, that we were unable to fly over some of my favorite areas in the old world. Now this will be a reality and I will have lots of fun :)

It's hard to say which part of Cataclysme that I'm looking most forward to. Everywhere you look there are new changes, and they all look awesome!
But if I have to mention somehting:
My main is a retri paladin, so personally I can't wait to try out the new paladin class changes with Holy Power and all. Seems like it's getting less faceroll to play retri afterall :) Thats nice.
Also, I have played Wow since the first day it came out, and with the Loremaster achievement on my main charactar: I can't wait to see all the new changes that they have done to the old world. I know every-little-bit of the current zones of Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdom, so it's going to be awesome to feel those same zones fresh and redone.
And of course all the new raid content and dungeons (not to mention all the new achievements - yes I'm a bit of an achievement-*****) is looking so coooool!
Cheers :)

The change to low level quest/spec/items, time and time again I have wanted to make a new alt but been unable to finish it because of the awfull speed and insane amount of travel time. With the changes to cata where I can be a ele shamman as soon as I hit lvl 10, begin getting sp before outland and not have to stay in STV for 10 levels I think im going to be able to try out alot more classes and get even more expiriences from this already very awsome game.
Also Deathwing, I was abit sad that I had to kill Malygos but having even more content with the aspects is going to be awsome :).

I'd have to say a combination of all the vanilla zone changes and archaeology. I love reading the quests and understanding the story of what is really going on. Seeing the progression, such as the development of Sylvanas and Garrosh, as well as all the ancient tales present through the archaeology system really appeals to me. Gives me something to do rather than idling, I can dig up bones like Dr Alan Grant and try to scare fat little orc children about the velociraptor...
Ok possibly fantasising a little too much there.

I am most excited about everything really, since I have been playing off and on since the game came out (switched to this from Asherons Call 2). But if I had to choose one reason it would be the the ability to play as a goblin as thier starter quests are awesome.

Cataclysm... I expect a lot of this expansion. Many of the new questing areas have always interested me (Especially Uldum and Hyjal), the two new races and their starting zones look really cool, and we get to see much more phasing then ever before. Not to mention that almost all the classic areas are being revamped, and that we can fly over Azeroth! As a true altoholic, I'm especially happy about the revamps.
What stands out for me the most, though... The answer? New mounts!
As a mount collector at heart, I simpily cannot wait to see the new mounts that will be introduced into Cataclysm, as well as the mounts that will be available for Goblins and Worgen. I think that Blizzard did a really good job with introducing all the new mounts in Wrath of the Lich King, and I hope it will be so as well in Cataclysm, or maybe even better! Either way, I'm truly looking forward.
Aquatic mounts, come to papa...

Where do I start? :)
I'm looking forward to so many things in Cataclysm. I usually level rather slow, as I enjoy the scenery and the lore, but I have reached level 80 though :)
Therefore I will mostly be looking forward to the scenery and graphic changes. And I will enjoy to be able to view these changes from ground and from above.
One of the other changes I look forward to is the UI changes. From the screenshots they look very nice indeed. Stats changes sound pretty good too.
Soon... :)

Really what's not to be excited about? As my main's a warlock, the thing that drives me to distraction is the new use of soul shards and getting all that bag space back. I'm also an altoholic, as such I've been through certain zones so many times, that I can't wait to see how it all changes - get a new experience leveling.
And heroic deadmines? Just.. omg..can't wait.

I'm excited about a lot of things in Cataclysm, but the most interesting thing in the whole expansion will undoubtely be the changes made to the Paladin, in particular the Retribution and Holy specs.
The Retribution spec cause it feels like we get more of a rotation than before but it still is a little of a fcfs, which honestly is more fun than for example the arcane mage rotation. Can't wait for especially Templar's Verdict and the whole mecanic of Holy Power.
For the Holy spec I'm excited about that we get an aoe heal and more healing spells in general, and ofc also the Holy Power mecanic here.

Since i'm a casual player most hardcore raiders may disagree with this, the thing i'm looking forward to in cataclysm is the gear reset that comes with it.
For a small amount of time Pvp can be fair because everybody will have the same gear almost, this means i have a chance to compete with everybody in a fair environment. Another reason i am looking forward to the gear reset the most is because people will have to earn their epics again which i allways liked, at the moment almost every level 80 character is sitting around in dalaran with full epics, in this new expansion i am going to enjoy going around and finding that quest rewards are an actual upgrade to my gear.

this might not be the funniest answers of them all but its an honest one
i am really looking forward to the new mounts, as a mount collector (one with killer bad luck) i am curious to see the new water mounts and the new worgen/goblin mounts to start collecting them right away.
i am also looking forward to the new lvling flow and lore in the game, everything is gonna be alot more shiny i hope.
but what i hope the most is that stuff is gonna be harder now. i read the throne of the tides impression on WoWhead and i was impressed that you actually had to use CC and control the trash to advance in the dungeon. it has been to long. im not one of those QQrs who think that they prefer noobs etc etc. some of the new changes were needed to keep the game in the market and on the ball for a whole new casual gamer experience aswell. so i understand the guys at blizzard.
my post, hope to win somehting <3
