on the topic of the cinematic... i'd rate them:
Wrath >> Cata >>>>> BC > Vanilla
See, I'd probably go the reverse. Vanilla is still my favorite because it really focuses on the player as the hero, shows off a lot of the actual world and cultures, and has really great pacing and fantastic music. The opening where you see the dwarf heading towards Ironforge and the choral music kicks in gives me chills every time.
BC was similar, in that it sort of showed the Player Heroes getting all geared up to go fight in Outland.
Cata is cool in that it shows the world again, but the lack of heroes is kind of a let down. Still, very bad ass.
Wrath didn't really impress me. It was cool, don't get me wrong, but... it was just sort of eye candy and didn't really set up a story or tell you anything other than Arthas is a badass, which we already knew and turned out not to be true.

I'm curious where Blizzard is going to go after Cataclysm. They did outlands, killed their darth vader and now destroyed the world.
I think we'll see the Emerald Dream, but I'm hoping we'll see another Outland-esque type excursion. Not to Outland, but through a portal to a completely new, untouched world. Like the Burning Crusade but on a completely new and original front without any kind of foreknowledge, no major settlements, just tons and tons of unexplored territory, new races to ally with, etc.
Call it World of Warcraft: Dark Wilderness. :lol

Here you go;
Good Morning Folks!
So, there are reported issues with the Hallows End Boss. Some are a misunderstanding in how the new system works with points, others are an issue related to the cog-wheel issue that's been previously observed in BGs.
Unable to load in, or WoW exiting upon arrival in the instance.
This could be a number of things, many cases may be related to the cog-wheel issue that is already known.
I'd recommend everyone reload their UI, just in case. If it's the cog-wheel issue - avoiding mousing over is one way to avoid it happening. Our developers are still looking into that issue.
To do a full and proper reset UI....
To do a full reset UI, you will want to save your addons in another spot if you wish to preserve them.
Then rename/delete or move your WTF, Cache and Interface folders while WoW is shutdown. Reboot your system.
Note, if you are running Vista make sure your permissions are set so it does not undo your changes.
Character already exists
This error can be encountered when trying to log back in. This means that character is still online and has not yet auto-logged. One thing to try is logging into another character on that realm - that will often force the first one offline. This condition also usually resolves itself within 5ish minutes or so on it's own. If logging into another character does not seem to free the first, or it doesn't log out on it's own, you will want to submit a petition for further Game Master assistance.
Empty Bags
It is possible since the conversion from badges to points to receive an empty bag. It's also possible what would have been in that bag is unique and you already have the item - so it's not going to show. Your points should be awarded when you open the container.
