More Cataclysm details, New Blizzard Site, Harvest Festival

More Cataclysm details from PC Gamer
We were able to get our hands on a paper version of the PC Gamer UK November 2009, and we found out that Wow.com article missed a few important information.

The developers disliked Azshara the most, so it was a great pleasure for them to completely redesign it. There will be a goblin city built into the cliffs with a HUGE air-defense cannon plus the goblins are carving a Mount Rushmore style thingie into the cliffs. Four goblin faces! Plus they're building new islands (similar to the Palm Islands in Dubai) in the shape of the horde logo.
Desolace turning green from a desert is a direct continuation of the Maraudon story, the druids there were successful repairing whatever corruption caused the area to turn into a desert the first place.
Thrall will fall captive of the alliance in a HUGE naval battle.
Tol Barad (the new Wintergrasp zone) will be instanced.
Every single camp in Stonetalon Mountains gets destroyed, new quest hubs will be built.
Auberdine will be destroyed by a Tsunami - so on the shores, a lot of damage will be inflicted as a result of underwater earthquakes.
The Horde wins the Tarren Mill - Southshore war, only to get Southshore destroyed by a similar tsunami (that also destroys part of Gilneas).
Last but not least, Ulduar was in production for 9 months.

Worgen druid forms

Paid race change
We don't have a date we can share yet regarding it. As similar as it is to the faction change server there are some differences and we want to try and iron out any bugs we can find. (Source)

Old racials in Cataclysm
Will the planned racials for the Worgen and Goblins change before release? Another valid question. The answer is that they might do, as they are not set in stone.

But we don't believe the racials of the existing playable races to be set in stone either. We'd like to make the profession based racials a bit more fun, if we can. Generally we're of the mind that the changes made to racials in WotLK brought a pretty decent balance. But yes it is definitely possible that we might look at some changes to the racials of the existing playable races in Cataclysm or elsewhere in the future. (Source)

The Harvest Festival Is Here

Each year, the Harvest Festival commemorates those who have sacrificed their lives for the sake of others. The Alliance honors the memory of all the fallen, but most especially Uther Lightbringer. The Horde also remembers those who have fallen, with special emphasis on the memory of Grom Hellscream. Be sure to sample the free food and drink commemorating the occasion. The Harvest Festival runs until October 3.
