The great thing about playable demos are the tidbits of info and sneaky souls with cameras snapping things they shouldn't be snapping. Such was the case in the press room at BlizzCon (http://www.wow.com/category/BlizzCon/) this year, where cameras were prohibited from pointing their lenses towards computer screnes. However, it appears that Spanish fansite WoW Todo (http://www.todowow.com/page/7/) got around the floating press room attendants somehow, and posted maps of the new starting zones for Goblins (http://www.wow.com/category/Goblin/) and Worgens (http://www.wow.com/category/Worgen/).
Both of the maps have a couple of unique touches. For example, both have images of their inhabitants on it. The Lost Isles (http://www.wow.com/tag/Lost-Isles/) map has a particularly ugly female Goblin in a bikini while Gilneas (http://www.wow.com/tag/Gilneas/) features a human in Victorian garb. The latter also has a couple of shredded bits as if a Worgen adventurer had used his or her claws when trying to read the map. The Goblin map features a scattering of indented gold coins at the corners, as if to hold it open. Both are awesome little touches that add that special bit of pizazz to the new zones.
But the maps do give us a proper glance at what we can expect from the two zones. Gilneas is dominated by Greymane Manor and the town of Duskhaven. Looking at it, I was expecting something a bit larger, but then you remember it is a starter zone. The Lost Isles is smaller still with an Alliance encampment to the North and an Orc settlement to the south, which explains their presence in the trailer.
