The New Year Arrives With a Whiz-Bang!

Happy New Year! Join the celebrations starting at 6:00 a.m. realm time, December 31, and check out the fireworks in the skies above the cities every hour on the hour. Sample the exotic brews and libations carted in from around the world of Azeroth, and /dance your way into the new year as a part of the celebration.  For those looking to avoid trouble—or get into it—you may want to steer clear of—or head toward—Booty Bay as the guards there appear to be spending more time enjoying themselves than enforcing town rules (at least into the morning hours).

@Ruca: Except those races actually do make sense for DK's. Panda's were on their own island until Cata so the Lich King never would have raised any to begin with. Unless of course the new Lich King decides to raise undead pandas.

@Snowpaw: Goblins were on their own island as well if you don't remember they were practically refuges and had to alliance themselves with the Horde. They probably wouldn't even know the history of the Lich King being that separated from the rest of the world. Besides, how many Goblin NPC's are there in Northrend besides at K3? As for Worgen, they were not even a race at the time of the Lich King's rule as he died before they were transformed.
