-Dalaran is the new shattrath, mages moved it back to daralan
-There is 2 "starting" areas to northrend to ease release day stress and to give a different leveling feel
-Naxx will be a new 25 man, retuned of course.

Death knights
-It will not delete your current character and turn it into a death knight

-Quest chain similar to warlock mount chain to unlock rolling of a death knight
-Starts at a high level(60, 70, maybe 80)

PvP related
-New BG is right now is 15vs15
-Twink arenas are in consideration
-A zone or area dedicated for World PvP with siege weapons
-Guild battlegrounds
-Changing of BG size as an option(15v15 AVs, 20v20, etc)
-Regroup queuing for AV
-AFK fix for AV and other BGs, a report feature that will ends up in a debuff that will say you need to get into combat or you will get no honor within X amount of seconds.

Class related
-Spell damage will be put on healer gear, so classes can do stuff in their hard earned purpz
-Croud control for shamans between 71-80
-Fear ward for all or similar spell
-Mana problems are being looked at for some classes, mainly priests.
-Hunters getting buffed somehow to help close range combat in 2v2,3v3
-Mage will get a soulwell type spell for food/water
-Ret pally stat distribution is being changed relying less on spell damage
-Totems on shamans is being looked at to compare with paladin auras, but blizzard still wants them to be different

Misc, Gimmicky shit, stuff I'm too lazy to categorize
-Engineers can make flying machines
-Legendary ranged for hunters and possibly others
-Engineers will be able to make out in the world mailboxes when it is no longer exploitable.
-The gear transition from TBC to Northrend will be smoother due to less of radical change in stat itemization(So shut the **** up)
-Players will be able to interact with arthas, he will be stirring up trouble for you in northrend
-You may get to fight the lich king but not arthas
-No new playable races
-Building in gear management and threat meters
Stolen from SomethingAwful. Figured this would be a good place to pool what we know.
