MMORPG continues their review on Cataclysm now that beta servers are up and running:

Well they said that they are changing almost every quest 1-60 and a ton of 80-85 ones, so it would be new experience for some old players. I rather have the quest liner with purpose than go kill 10 kebolls just because I feel like it. The first quests there make sense. You need to kill the main enemy there to clear the way it seems.

Plus that was the horde he was reviewing, alliance quest hub might be different.

If it's a new combat system you're holding out for, don't bother. Wow has it's own brand of combat that is much more polished and fluid than the competition as of yet.

I was hoping SWTOR would play a lot like the Jedi Knight games, those were so much fun. MMOs aren't there yet.

I'm not holding out for anything...I'm pretty much done with WoW...doubt it can ever offer anything for me to come back to other than nostalgia. At this point, I've been happy with AoC...the combat system there is MUCH more advanced than WoW will ever be...and that's only biding time until SWTOR comes out.

The light saber combat of SWTOR is supposed to be very similar to KOTOR so you can expect pretty much the same. The other classes (scout, bounty hunter, etc.) are going to be the interesting things to investigate...

I have found ways to make the game more fun. For an example on my 74 DK I respected him from blood eps to duel-wield frost dps. Real fun when mobs go down much faster now.
