Greetings, all! As I did with Wrath of the Lich King before, I thought I’d take a little time and gather together all the information flitting around out there about the next expansion: Cataclysm.
Blizzard’s official site can be found here: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/
Most of the information presented herein will be familiar to you savvy readers; others may find it helpful to have all the Blizzcon info available on the forums. As time goes on and the release of this newest expansion approaches, I’ll be continually updating this thread with new information. As with the old Wrath compilation, the newest information will be bolded within the category list below so you can avoid reading the entire thread with each update.
*Every effort has been made to provide the source for included information. If a source is not explicitly mentioned, the information was gathered from transcripts of the various panels or from the beta itself.
