<p>Since the exciting information about the third expansion of World of Warcraft has been leaked out online, everybody has been religiously seeking for new details surrounding the events in Cataclysm. And the big question is how would the new world of Azeroth be look like after the <span><span> &#8220;Great Sundering&#8221;</span></span>. Thanks <strong><a title="View the profile of Hothgor" href="http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?action=profile;u=62217">Hothgor</a></strong><strong> </strong>of MMO-Champion for sharing a few photos that gives you clues on how the Azeroth were split up into different continents as well as a hidden easter egg in WOW game that will show you a rough sketch of the post-Azeroth. Find it out after a few break.</p>
<p><span id="more-2446"></span></p>
<p>With the imminent announcement of World of Warcraft &#8211; Catacylsm, it only seems fitting that some attention is paid to the &#8216;clues&#8217; already placed in the game.  Perhaps the most glaring example of what Azeroth will look like can be found in HoL and Ulduar.</p>
<p>This is the Eastern Kingdoms.  This area of the world does not seem to be affected very much by the events to come.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mmogrindhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/WoWScrnShot_081409_2053241.jpg" rel="lightbox[2446]"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2443" title="WoWScrnShot_081409_205324[1]" src="http://www.mmogrindhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/WoWScrnShot_081409_2053241.jpg" alt="WoWScrnShot_081409_205324[1]" width="480" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>This is Kalimdor.  Notice how the entire central area of the continent has been devastated, presumably by the Cataclysm.  You can pick out Azshara fairly easily, as well as Winterspring, Teldrassil and the Azure/Bloodmyst Isles.  What is missing, however, seems to be The Barrens, Stonetalon Peaks, and PARTS of Dustwallow Marsh.  The big island on the right seems to be located approximately where Theramore is now, so perhaps Jania is safe&#8230;for now&#8230;</p>
<p>Of course, none of this is probably new to most of you guys, but in Ulduar, there is a &#8216;hidden&#8217; easter egg/treat:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mmogrindhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/WoWScrnShot_081409_2056401.jpg" rel="lightbox[2446]"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2444" title="WoWScrnShot_081409_205640[1]" src="http://www.mmogrindhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/WoWScrnShot_081409_2056401.jpg" alt="WoWScrnShot_081409_205640[1]" width="480" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>This is Azeroth.  No really, it is!  Take a look.  Its in the hallway leading to Algalon&#8217;s room.  You can see Azshara, Dun Morogh, Lake Lordamere and other important land marks.  Want a better view?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mmogrindhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/WoWScrnShot_081409_2055451.jpg" rel="lightbox[2446]"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2445" title="WoWScrnShot_081409_205545[1]" src="http://www.mmogrindhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/WoWScrnShot_081409_2055451.jpg" alt="WoWScrnShot_081409_205545[1]" width="480" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Once again you can clearly see &#8216;northern&#8217; Azeroth.  Winterspring and Azshara are clearly visible from Kalimdor, Quel&#8217;Danas and Eversong Woods can also be seen, and Lake Lordamere is clearly visible.  In Northrend, you can clearly see Icecrown Glacier, and careful examination reveals the Caldera and Grizzly Hills.  Now from the other side&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mmogrindhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/WoWScrnShot_081409_2055521.jpg" rel="lightbox[2446]"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2447" title="WoWScrnShot_081409_205552[1]" src="http://www.mmogrindhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/WoWScrnShot_081409_2055521.jpg" alt="WoWScrnShot_081409_205552[1]" width="480" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>You can easily see Ungoro, Tanaris, 1k Needles, and the Isle of Dread.  You can also barely make out the last portion of Durotar, and across the ocean you can see the edge of Dun Morogh and Stranglethorn Vale.</p>
<p>Now yes, I know the world is on its &#8217;side&#8217;, but perhaps that is simply part of the story line.  Conspicuously absent is the Maelstrom&#8230;perhaps its &#8216;vanishing&#8217; is a direct cause of the Cataclysm.  We will find out next week, hopefully!  In the meantime, I present to you the &#8216;corrected&#8217; new world of Azeroth from WoW-Cataclysm:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mmogrindhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/NewAzeroth1.jpg" rel="lightbox[2446]"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2448" title="NewAzeroth[1]" src="http://www.mmogrindhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/NewAzeroth1.jpg" alt="NewAzeroth[1]" width="480" height="459" /></a></p>

<p>They said World of Warcraft is still the best looking MMORPG out there and the most notorious of throwing up surprises. After everyone were impressed with the second expansion Wrath of the Lich King, embrace yourself for the third expansion called &#8220;World of Warcraft: Cataclysm&#8221;.  If you are familiar with <em>Warcraft </em>history, Cataclysm refers to an epic event known as &#8220;the Great Sundering&#8221;, which split up the game world of Azeroth into several continents approximately 10,000 years ago at the end of the War of the Ancients. According to Boubouille of MMO-Champion, the leaked information hasn&#8217;t yet been officially announced by Blizzard however he assures everybody that the details he has gathered were not made up by mere fanboys but actually came from few reliable sources. Check out the brand new classes, races, and contents expected in the upcoming expansion after the jump.</p>
<p><span id="more-2434"></span></p>
<div><strong>World of Warcraft: Cataclysm</strong></div>
<p>World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is the next expansion for World of Warcraft. Dark and forgotten threats that have long stayed out of sight have finally arrived on our shores, unleashing a cataclysmic event upon Azeroth and now preparing more nefarius plans to take it back.</p>
<p><strong>Level Cap</strong></p>
<p>The level cap in the next expansion will be slightly lower than expected this time around; <strong>85</strong>.</p>
<p>This suggests Blizzard wants more room for expansions before hitting the level 100 cap. With less leveling to do (along with the revamped leveling listed below likely to increase the speed and ease of leveling), leveling a new race remains appealing for new and existing players alike.</p>
<p>Leveling from 80-85 should be a much bigger deal, the idea is to make sure that gaining a level really means something and doesn&#8217;t make you feel like you just have 4 more levels to go.</p>
<p><strong>New Classes</strong></p>
<p>Cataclysm doesn&#8217;t introduce any new classes to the game. Instead, Blizzard have offered more race and classes combinations to players. The Some of these have alreadly been datamined from the 3.2.2 Test Realms. The <a rel="http://db.mmo-champion.com/q/13986/an-injured-colleague//tooltip/js" href="http://db.mmo-champion.com/q/13986/an-injured-colleague/" target="_blank">An Injured Colleague</a> quest and it&#8217;s new Night Elf counter-part help to introduce the lore for these new race and class combinations, so we can probably expect to see more of these for some of the less traditional ones.</p>

<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">New Races</span></strong></span><br />
The events of the cataclysm has caused two new races to seek new allies. The Goblins for the Horde and the Worgen for the Alliance.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Goblins</strong></span><br />
Deathwing once again sought the services of the goblins, as slaves. Unable to refuse such an offer, the goblins were enslaved by him. A large group have resisted however. With their previous homes devastated by the cataclysm, they escaping to an island off the coast of The Barrens. As they strive to recover, they come across an Orc captured on an Alliance ship and rescue him. The Orc turns out to be none other than Thrall himself, and in return offers the Goblins a place within the Horde. These events are carried out in a quest line, allowing players to experience first-hand the reasons behind the Goblins&#8217; shift from neutrality.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Worgen</strong></span><br />
The cataclysm has cracked open the Greymane Wall, finally revealing what has happened to the kingdom of Gilneas and its citizens. With the Worgen curse taken hold, they have found a partial cure, allowing thme to retain their Human minds even when transformed. Venturing forth from Gilneas and seeking help from the Alliance, they have decided to join them, to combat the new threats of Cataclysm.</p>
<p>Gilneas will make extensive use of the phasing system (much like the Death Knight starting area), to show what happened while the kingdom was cut off from the rest of the world and lead up to present day.</p>
<p>Worgens will have two forms, a Worgen form and a Human form. Players will be able to customise the look of both forms.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">New Content</span></strong></span><br />
Cataclysm will be the first expansion <strong>not</strong> to introduce a new continent, instead making use of previously unreleased zones and revamping existing ones.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Classic Azeroth Revamp</strong></span><br />
A cataclysmic event caused by Deathwing and Azshara will change the face of Azeroth as we know it. Most of the new content for Cataclysm will take the form of a revamped Azeroth, taking advantage of newer additions to WoW such as phasing and daily quests. Most of the quests and mobs in the classic zones will also be redesigned to make leveling less painful. With the revamp, a greater narritive and sense progression will be offered to players. Some zones and dungeons will change drastically to fit this, e.g.,</p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>The Barrens will be split into two separate zones of two different level bands.</li>
<li>Azshara will become a low level (~10-20) zone.</li>
<li>Some of the zones like the Thousand Needles will be flooded.</li>
<li>Durotar is wrecked and apparently Orgrimmar could be destroyed. A new Orc city is rebuilt over the course of the expansion.</li>
<li>Gnomeregan will be part of the expansion as well and gnomes might be able to reclaim their capital. (The last part is still unconfirmed)</li>
<li>Wailing Caverns will be become a lush tropical area as a result of the druid&#8217;s magic.</li>
<li>The Blackrock Spire will erupt and a new version of Blackrock Mountains will be available, apparently Ragnaros will be back too.</li>
</ul>
<p>In the aftermath of the cataclysm, and the new conflicts on the horizon relief efforts can be found in many zones and new open PvP areas similar to Lake Wintergrasp.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Flying in Azeroth</strong></span><br />
Part of the redesign of the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor is the introduction of flying to the two continents, allowing access to many new areas and quicker travelling across the large continents.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Classic Dungeon Revamp</strong></span><br />
Redesigning Onyxia&#8217;s Lair in Patch 3.2.2 was just the first step. As most of the leveling will take place in revamped areas of Azeroth, so too will the dungeons, allowing players to use them to level from 80 to 85.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Unreleased Zones &amp; Dungeons</strong></span><br />
With the addition of flying mounts to Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms and the redesign of many zones, most of the previously unreachable or incomplete zones will now be made available to players. This is where most of the new content from 80 to 85 will take place. Some of these are,</p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Hyjal (present)</li>
<li>Gilneas &#8211; The Worgen starting Zone.</li>
<li>Uldum</li>
</ul>
<p>It is unclear if the old Goblin locations such as Kezan and Undermine will be included in Cataclyms with the revelation of the goblins&#8217; plight, but several new islands have also been risen from the seas by the events of Cataclysm, some on the backs of giant sea turtles and whales, with the addition of several underwater zones.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Characters and Events</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Deathwing</strong></span><br />
<a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Deathwing" target="_blank">Deathwing the Destroyer / Neltharion the Earth-Warder</a> will play a major role in Cataclysm. Having been driven mad by Old God whisperings and turning against his own kind only to be fail in his attempts, Deathwing has sunk into the shadows. While the Horde and the Alliance were busy fighting back the Burning Legion only to then be beset with the Scourge, he has been lurking and moving things into place. After Lady Sinestra&#8217;s failed attempts to create a <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Twilight_dragonflight" target="_blank">Twilight Dragonflight</a>, he again retreated to Grim Batol and succeeded where she failed. With his results seen in the Obsidian Sanctum, he has finally created the supreme Dragonflight he sought and plans to unleash it upon the world. But what of the Old Gods&#8217; sway over him?</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Azshara</strong></span><br />
<a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Queen_Azshara" target="_blank">Queen Azshara</a> will also play a major part in Cataclysm. Unknown to many mortal races, long forgotten by others, and believe to be dead by her own kind, she has not been dormant in depths of the Maelstrom. Having those around her transformed by the Old Gods into Naga after her failure in the War of the Ancients, she has become far more powerful and a greater threat than she once was. Not content with just Nazjatar and the depths of the sea, Azshara seeks to reclaim power and reign once again. With the true plan behind Lady Vashj&#8217;s support of Illidan remaining a mystery we do not know what hand Azshara has yet played. The big question remains, is she now serving her &#8220;saviors&#8221;, the Old Gods?</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em; font-size: x-small;"><strong>The Cataclysm</strong></span><br />
I&#8217;m still not sure who is the true end boss of Cataclysm is, but the cataclysm appears to have been caused by attempts to incantation to summon extremely powerful beings using an ancient incantation by Deathwing and Azshara. They&#8217;re both very powerful, but the cataclysm itself suggests something more powerful is behind it, perhaps their shared past of Old God influence?</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em; font-size: x-small;"><strong>The Guardian of Tirisfal</strong></span><br />
Malfurion Stormrage will be returning to Azeroth to aid in the creation of the new Guardian of Tirisfal &#8211; Thrall! <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Med%27an" target="_blank">Med&#8217;an&#8217;s</a> role in these events is currently unknown.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em; font-size: x-small;"><strong>The New (New) Horde</strong></span><br />
Thrall will hand over the leadership of the Horde to Garrosh Hellscream, while he serves as a coordinator for both the Horde and Alliance forces in and effort to combat the new threat of the Naga and Black Dragonflight. Without Thrall to keep Garrosh in check, he declares open war on the Alliance. In the political upheaval Cairne Bloodhoof is implicated as a traitor to the Horde and murdered by Garrosh. Cairne&#8217;s son Baine takes over as the new Tauren chieftan. This could explain why Baine was removed from the game in Patch 3.2.2, you can find more information about this in <a href="http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=92897" target="_blank"><strong>Ahmo Thunderhorn &#8211; replacement for Baine Bloodhoof?</strong></a></p>
