Is there anything new about WOW?

Answer 1

Some of the newer features in World of Warcraft include:

The Looking for Dungeon tool: Using this tool (default key is "i") you will randomly group with players of the same level range (1 tank, 1 healer, and 3 dps) to either do a random instance dungeon (5 man only). This tool can also be used to select a specific dungeon.

Cross server grouping: When using the Dungeon Tool, you will be grouped with people from other realms in your battle-group. This makes finding groups for lower level instances easier. When grouped like this, you can not trade items like gold or gear or even food, only conjured things.

Bind to account gear (also called Heirloom gear) is gear that is bound to your account. This means you can mail it to any of your other toons on the current server, even your toons on the opposite faction. NOTE: You can not send BoA gear to another server unless you transfer a character.

The coming expansion Cataclysm will feature a complete re-working of talent trees, new races (goblins and worgen), new raids and instances along with new battlegrounds, and a complete re-working of quite a few zones (ie barrens is getting split in half, Desolace is going green). Perhaps the most wanted is the ability to use flying mounts...in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms.
