Cataclysm is coming out soon. I cannot be permitted to restart my subscription to see what the lead-up events are like. I'm probably not high enough level to access most of them, but I will be sucked back in nonetheless. My heart will be broken by the Orgrimmar redesign. My nerves will be shattered anew by the ethnic stereotypes and poor storytelling decisions. Dudes will say stuff about my hat.

2) Nasal voices - see 1.
3) The women's Valley Girl speech patterns - the Valley Girl stereotype is considered kind of an offshoot of the Jewish American Princess type.
4) Obviously, all the money stuff.
