Developer Blizzard Entertainment reminds all heroes of Azeroth that the time is nigh to take up arms and fight Deathwing again. The fiery dragon is about to burst from the heart of the Maelstrom to unleash his rage and undying hatred. Mark your calendars: the face of Azeroth will change forever again tomorrow, April 30th.
“The Cataclysm Classic pre-expansion patch ushers in the shattering of Azeroth and the changed landscape in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, a variety of systems changes along with new class and race combinations, and the new Worgen and Goblin races. Players can also begin learning the new Archaeology profession, use Reforging to upgrade your gear, and more.”

The new expansion arrives on May 20th. It will provide players with 7 new zones, a set of new dungeons and raids, the introduction of the Dungeon Journal feature, and much more. The game will also receive the Boss-based lock system, allowing players to do the 10 or 25-player version of bosses in the same week. Cataclysm also marks flying coming to Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. Alas, the Draenei and Blood Elf starting zones remain flightless.
