Blizzcon is underway at the moment and they’ve confirmed that there will be a new WoW expansion entitled Cataclysm.
The level cap has only been raised by 5 levels to level 85 but that’s cool with me. I hate levelling and I’d much rather devs put their efforts in to real game improvements than more of the same old stuff. I assume they’ll be obsoleting a ton more content as usual!
You can learn all about it at their web site but here’s a quick run down of some of the features.
Two New Playable Races
Adventure as one of two new races--the cursed worgen with the Alliance or the resourceful goblins with the Horde.
Level Cap Increased to 85
Earn new abilities, tap into new talents, and progress through the path system, a new way for players to improve characters.
Classic Zones Remade
Familiar zones across the original continents of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms have been altered forever and updated with new content, from the devastated Badlands to the broken Barrens, which has been sundered in two.
New High-Level Zones
Explore newly opened parts of the world, including Uldum, Grim Batol, and the great Sunken City of Vashj’ir beneath the sea.
More Raid Content than Ever Before
Enjoy more high-level raid content than previous expansions, with optional more challenging versions of all encounters.
New Race and Class Combinations
Explore Azeroth as a gnome priest, blood elf warrior, or one of the other never-before-available race and class combinations.
Guild Advancement
Progress as a guild to earn guild levels and guild achievements.
New PvP Zone & Rated Battlegrounds
Take on PvP objectives and daily quests on Tol Barad Island, a new Wintergrasp-like zone, and wage war in all-new rated Battlegrounds.
Archaeology
Master a new secondary profession to unearth valuable artifacts and earn unique rewards.
Flying Mounts in Azeroth
Explore Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms like never before.
My favourite class is druid but I’m stuck playing Horde unless I want to play on my own. Maybe I’ll try a troll… I have to say that the Worgen look way cooler though.
