Here are the most important things, you should know about the new Cataclysm UI !

* [Cataclysm Preview]Guild Perks

There are 25 guild levels and each level will automatically reward with an extra perk. The leveling process remains unchanged and your guild will gain experience through PvP, Dungeon and Raid progression, questing, etc ...

Guild currency has also been removed and rewards will just be "unlocked" after you reach a specific level or complete a guild achievement. Once a reward is unlocked, members will be able to purchase it with gold. Some of the rewards include guild tabards, mounts, heirlooms, and it looks like you will finally be able to have a guild tabard on your mount. (Just like the Argent Tournament banners)

New members of a guild won't be able to buy everything directly, they will have to contribute to the progression of the guild before they can access the top rewards. Each time a player helps towards the leveling he will gain reputation with the guild, the best rewards will require players to be exalted with their guild before they can buy it.

* [Cataclysm Preview] UI Changes

The Character Window

The Character Window is one of the things that has barely changed at all in the 5 years I've played World of Warcraft. Personally I've always thought it needed a good rewrite—and we finally have it!

The completely redesigned window contains two panes, one for your character and gear and the other a collapsible window with all your character stats. You will also notice the skills tab is completely gone, with that information being moved to other pages. The rest of the tabs remain unchanged.
