World of Warcraft CATACLYSM Full Version ENGLISH enUS VERSION

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm (or Cata for short) is the upcoming third

expansion for World of Warcraft. Set primarily in a dramatically reforged

Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms on the world of Azeroth, the expansion set

follows the return of the evil Dragon Aspect Deathwing the Destroyer --

formerly known as the ancient guardian Neltharion the Earth Warder -- whose

fiery arrival from Deepholm, the elemental plane of earth, causes a massive

worldwide catastrophe known as The Shattering.
Cataclysm will return players to the two continents of Azeroth for most of

their campaigning, after years away in Outland and Northrend, opening new zones

such as Mount Hyjal, the sunken world of Vashj'ir, Deepholm, Uldum and the

Twilight Highlands. It will include two new playable races: the worgen from the

legendary kingdom of Gilneas for the Alliance, and the goblins of the

Bilgewater Cartel from the isle of Kezan for the Horde. Flying mounts will

finally be usable in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms, while the new secondary

profession Archaeology will be introduced. Reforging will make its debut in

game, while player classes will be fully updated, including new race-class

combinations.
