On the 7th, Cataclysm will be officially released, and Azeroth will never be the same again. Everything you knew and loved will be changed….. forever.
Two new races will be introduced; the Goblins for the Horde, and the Worgen for the Alliance. And the level cap will be raised to 85.
The classic instances (Deadmines for example), will have a Heroic difficulty for replayability.
I’ve just got done ordering the game directly from worldofwarcraft.com. That all I have to do is play the game to install the files, and have them activated at 12:01am PST on the 7th, which I think would be 3:01AM on the 7th in EST. I also ordered the official strategy guide for it, and a 2011 Wall Calendar.
Soon I’ll be playing WoW again. But I feel like I’m too late to see what Azeroth was like before the sundering.
After the release of Cataclysm, you’ll only have so long to have fun ’till the servers go down for another “cataclysmic event”… Maintenance Day. Expect it to be down all day.
