I was thinking, and with all the world changes and such our characters are going to have to place to login at. What if our characters are sitting in a place where something new for cata has been placed? That would never work, so i was curious where everyone thinks blizz will assign us to log in? If its capital cities, i pray my computer doesn't melt.

We've discussed several possibilities including moving characters to the nearest faction-friendly city or simply the nearest graveyard. We've not yet determined what's going to happen to characters that log out in areas affected by the Cataclysm, but it's something we're giving serious thought to. Ultimately, we want players to be able to log in and get started questing right away and not have to worry about recovering their characters' bodies from the bottom of some unearthed lava pit or newly-formed mountain range.
