Cataclysm: A Monumental Expansion
posted Sunday Aug 23, 2009 by Jon Wurm
Here is a huge update on WOW's newest expansion called Cataclysm. If you have been keeping up with us you remember that we mentioned this a few weeks back when it was just a rumor. Well hold onto to your Alliance steins and Horde figurines cause Blizzard just dropped a bomb. The new expansion is coming equipped with quite a few game changing features. So, here is the jist of what's happening. There is an until recently dead dragon named Deathwing who like the Phoenix, has risen from the dead and royally screwed the WOW universe but from this chaos there will be much (welcomed) change:
There are new race/class combinations so you can finally play as a Human Hunter or Blood Elf Warrior and etc.
You can be expecting some new PvP Zones and Battle Grounds.
Guild levels and guild achievements are now available.
All the classic zones are being redone with new content and looks!
To see the rest of the list, hit the break!
It's no surprise but the Horde are getting Goblins as a new race and Alliance get the Cursed Worgen, a wolf like race.
The level cap is being increased to 85 and with this comes new abilities, talents and character customization.
Finally, flying mounts work in Azeroth!
There is a whole slew of new content to explore like Uldum and a sunken city along with a bunch of new raid content.
Archaeology is a new secondary profession you can pick up to find artifacts and get rewards.
Even as someone who has stopped playing WOW for a little while many of these changes are very enticing. WOW is kinda of like that ex-girlfriend you haven't seen in a little while but you run into her at the beach and she's been really taking care of herself so you want another taste of the good life....yeah.
There you have it. What is your favorite feature? Is there something missing that you want to see?
