Short description
An ancient evil lies dormant within Deepholm, the domain of earth in the Elemental Plane.
Hidden away in a secluded sanctuary, the corrupted Dragon Aspect Deathwing has waited, recovering from the wounds of his last battle against Azeroth and biding his time until he can reforge the world in molten fire.
Soon, Deathwing the Destroyer will return to Azeroth, and his eruption from Deepholm will sunder the world, leaving a festering wound across the continents. As the Horde and Alliance race to the epicenter of the cataclysm, the kingdoms of Azeroth will witness seismic shifts in power, the kindling of a war of the elements, and the emergence of unlikely heroes who will rise up to protect their scarred and broken world from utter devastation.
Long description
Blizzard’s epic role playing game receives its next long-awaited expansion, new races and locations added to its online world.
Originally released in 2005, World of Warcraft has quickly become the online role playing title to beat, with millions of players entering Blizzard’s epic fantasy realm each and every day. Expansions such as The Wrath of the Lich King have helped to add new content to the game and keep each location fresh without excluding new players. World of Warcraft - Cataclysm is one of the title’s most comprehensive expansions, adding a host of new content across locations old and new.
Two new races have been added to Cataclysm, the worgens and the goblins, each with their own specific talents and abilities. The level cap has also been increased to 85, allowing hardened players to squeeze extra play time from their well-worn characters. Familiar locations from across the Warcraft plains have now been given a healthy visual upgrade, adding new content and graphical touches to earlier areas.
World of Warcraft - Cataclysm is one of the most in-depth expansions to the world-renowned online title, providing players with a great deal of new content as well as giving previous content a new visual sheen.

WoW for Cataclysm
Reviewed by Unknown on 13 April 2011

Cataclysm - a great expansion for the WoW saga. Brand new areas to explore and conquer. It was worth the wait. But as most expansions go it gets boring after a while. Farming dungeon after dungeon to get tokens for the best gear. Players that think they play in "God" mode and care little for those who put strategy above recklessness
