Blizzard is certainly busy with ongoing projects such as Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3, and the newest expansion in progress for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm!
Cataclysm has yet to hit beta, or have a release date yet. However here are some things that have been made known about the expansion :
- The level cap raised to 85
This has surprized some people as its only a five lvl increase from the current level cap ( 80 ). In previous expansions the pace has been set at ten levels ( 60 – 70 in The Burning Crusade, and 70 – 80 in The Wrath of the Litch King ).
- Flying Mounts in Azeroth
Many World of Warcraft players have been hoping for this ever since Burning Crusade came out with flying mounts!
- New Battle Grounds, and PVP Zone!
You can never have too much PVP ( player VRS. player ), and even better another PVP zone in the midst , which is a puff of fresh air for those who reside in PVE ( player VRS environment ) realms. Not everyone wants open world PVP, and many games have troubles giving the right elements to PVE players, but Blizz ( Blizzard Entertainment ) Has seemingly pulled it off.
- New Trade Skill / Profession Archaeology
Yet another trade skill in which can be mastered! The name given to this new trade pretty much says it all, as according to the description(s) given by Blizzard, you use this skill to unearth artifacts, and earn rewards ( not much else is known ).
- New Races with New Class / Race Combinations
The Horde gains the new playable Goblin race, where the Alliance gains the new Worgen playable race! Further more, they have decided that they will be re adjusting the classes available per race….So this means that one day we may see Human hunters running, and Night Elf mages running around? We shall have to wait and see!
- Guild Levels!
Guilds will have to work together on a whole new level, as they will be able to gain them, and guild based achievements.
- Promises of More Raid Content than in Wrath of the Lich King!
- New zones - One of which may be under water!
And for the Major Draw
- Old Zones in Azeroth Revamped!!!!
