They really don't like information leaks now, do they ?

Too bad I've missed it. Then again, it would probably only make me long for it more.

Well, I can really understand Blizzard, but you're not missing much anyway. The "BC Exploration" movie is a fly-by through the various new locations using the so-called standalone "sandbox" offline-emulator with the BC F&F alpha. There's nothing in there but landscapes and buildings, the whole rest like NPC's, mobs etc is missing. You don't see anthing that "lives". This obviously very quickly compiled clip doesn't nearly compare to the infamous, rather well done "WoW Exploration" movie that has once been in the web in late 2004 before WoW came out.

Here's a better and legal source of good BC material:

The screenshots are very good and plenty, and transport much more of the atmosphere of BC than the aforementioned exploration "hack".

If I should comment on the quality of BC so far, I'd say that this expansion is visually and atmospherically "tier 2" level, speaking in WoW terms. If you thought that WoW is/was great and hard to beat, you'll be excited to see what's coming now. Blizzard's artists did an awesome job on BC, and - if I may say so - whatever these guys and girls are smoking, it must be damn good stuff;)
