Being an "old-timer" I have to say the phrase "WoW 2.0" for WoW 4.0 is apt, it really is that bigger change. Previous expansions have been just that "expansions" adding new spells here and there, adding a couple of talents, new zones etc. Whereas Cataclysm is different it definately feels like Blizz have gone back to basics seen what worked, what didn't and then reformed the game, the biggest testiment to WoW 2.0 is the complete reworking of Ogrimmar.
