BlizzCon 2009: World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Trailer
Heartbourne
Check it out the Cataclysm trailer and the new official Cataclysm page:
Perhaps the biggest announcement of Blizzcon 2009 has now broken: the new World of Warcraft expansion is indeed entitled "Cataclysm". An interview with the Blizzard CEO on the live stream reports that they are aiming for a 2010 release, along with Starcraft II. We have received word that it is playable on the floor, so hopefully we hear more during the day
Some disastrous event occurs that rips apart the lands. There are literally huge chasms and breaks across the land, with once flat ground becoming rubble and treacherous. It appears that a lot of progression has taken place in the world; the Horde seems to have taken much of Ashenvale, for example. As the land is destroyed, resources have become much more valuable, and the war between the Horde and Alliance has erupted. Some of the zones have somehow erupted into new life, such as Tanaris becoming a more lush zone with some oases and forests. strongly suggesting some Emerald Dream content.
The Goblins of Kezan have been displaced by the Cataclysm, and they have found new allies in the Horde. The Greymane wall has fallen, and the humans there have been transformed into Worgen, although they can shift in and out of their wolf forms. The night elves, who originally summoned them with the Scythe of Elune, have reached out to them and they have joined the Alliance.
In addition, with the world having been revamped, flying mounts are usable in Azeroth. Its not clear how leveling will be handled or if the world will be phased.
The new level cap will be 85. A new profession, Archaeology, is implemented.
