Yesterday, well-known online gaming mag MMO Champion leaked details of the next World of Warcraft expansion. Although none of the information has been confirmed or denied by Blizzard, it still makes for exciting reading… Well, to some of us, it makes for exciting reading. Details about this rumored expansion are as follows:
Name of expansion: Cataclysm
New level cap: 85
New races: Goblins for the Horde, Worgen for the Alliance
New classes: None
The expansion will not introduce a new continent, but will instead open a few new zones and overhaul existing ones in the Old World (pre-Burning Crusade). Some noteworthy changes are that the Barrens will be divided into two separate zones and Azshara will be transformed into a low-level zone. Thousand Needles will be flooded, Durotar will be destroyed, and Orgrimmar might be completely wiped out. The Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor will both be revamped to accommodate flying mounts. Additionally, many classic instances like Molten Core will be redesigned for end-game raids. And most importantly, the gnomes will finally reclaim their long-lost home, Gnomeregan!
