Do you miss the novelty of World of Warcraft?

I know I do. I still enjoy the game, but I miss the "newness" of it all. I'm not just talking about content. I do miss running new dungeons, but I also miss the experience of learning the game.
I still feel nostalgia when I visit the Draenei starting zone, because a Draenei was my first character. I miss how cool it was exploring the zone and completing quests. I miss the excitement I felt the first time I ever found a green item on a mob, or the first time I entered a capital city. I remember thinking Stormwind was so cool! I remember thinking zones like Desolace were high-level zones, and places like Hellfire Peninsula were the big-leagues. I remember when my first character hit level 40, and thinking that now I was a high-level character.
Sure, there are always challenges when learning a new game, especially WoW, but I miss its novelty. I miss being proud of my warrior's
Whirlwind Axe
or
Herod's Shoulder
. I miss not having any idea about what stats were good, because nobody cared at that level. All that mattered was that it looked cool.

Cataclysm might return us all to the newness of WoW, since they're restructuring the game from the bottom up. We can all go through the joy of leveling new characters and experiencing new things.
Think about it. No starting zone will be the same, and there will be entirely new questlines for everything. Going through the class quests for the new race/class combinations will be awesome! It will also usher in a new level of nostalgia for people. The whole "I remember 5 hour AVs/five minute Pally buffs" crowd will increase tenfold.

I get the feeling that this will be new and exciting for about a month, then just return to what it is now.
However, I do believe there is a LOT of potential, so lets hope Blizz doesn't screw this up.
