BlizzCon beta codes appear to be working for Cataclysm , meaning if you have one that's unused, you should be able to redeem it at http://www.worldofwa...eta-signup.html . Thanks to one of our readers for the tip on this, originating from this post on the EU forums. Keep in mind this is only for codes currently unused; if you used it in the past to get into TBC or WotLK betas then it can't be redeemed again













TOP HATS





Do I really need to say more? Cataclysm is introducing the best item ever: the top hat. [Lord Walden's Top Hat] is a quest reward during the Worgen starting experience, which sadly is Bind on Pickup. Still, you'll be the talk of the town with this marvellous piece of equipment.





Garrosh Hellscream's New Model





While you've probably already seen this elsewhere based on modelviewer screenshots, there's something to be said about seeing a new character model within the game for the first time -- especially where it belongs. This is Garrosh Hellscream's new model, rightly staking claim to the throne within Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar.

It's A Town-In-A-Box

Goblin ingenuity at its finest -- they've managed to fit an entire town in a box. This quest hub is phased in after completing the initial, smaller island in The Lost Isles. You ride a rocket over to the larger island and must set off a pile of explosives to open the Town-In-A-Box.









Mechanical Sharks, WITH FREAKIN' LASERS

The title should say it all. A quest where you pilot a mechanical shark with a laser, to kill another shark. How amazing is that?
