Well, I think the name says it all.

To keep this topic afloat, how do you think the expansion will be?

I have a friend who's in. An actual friend, not an in-game acquaintance. I stopped playing about six months ago.

I think the expansion will be fun. The best time I had in WoW was the week after Burning Crusade came out. Tons of new content, and a huge, beautiful new world to explore. The best players were at the forefront, putting together PUGs to get quests done and clear instances.

At level cap things hit a hard plateau and started to slide down until I got sick of raiding Serpentshrine like it was a part-time job.

Much like many lessons which Blizzard learned from the original game were applied in Burning Crusade, I think a lot of lessons were learned in Burning Crusade and will be applied in Lich King. There will be a lot of tweaks, nerfs and buffs in the first couple patches, I'm sure, but I also think the experience will be even better than that week long rush I got from Burning Crusade.

I think the most fun I ever had was pre-BC. When BC came out, all my armor was shit and I just didnt feel like getting addicted to the game for another year or two to be epic'd out again. I have to say though, with the new expansion, achievements and stuff, its looking pretty sexy. I myself am trying to pull some strings and get some beta keys. Not sure if my friends at Blizzard can even do that though.

2 person mounts (motorcycle with side car for engineering), new tallents, new gear, new BG's. I am excited. I didnt even start playing WoW until after BC was even released, so I have had a wealth of things to experience during my climb.

I play it mainly because of how many of my friends here and back home play it. Our Guild consists of friends in and out of state I never get to see, so the interaction is what does it for me.

Oh, sorry about getting off topic, no, I dont have any Beta testing friends.
