WoW Gold | A first look at Cataclysm
WoW Gold | A first look at Cataclysm
If you’ve avoided all the spoilers so you can play the new World of Warcraft expansion with child-like wonder, rejoice!
Cataclysm went live earlier this week and now you’re free to explore all it has to offer. Here’s our own Cliff notes on the new playable races and areas.
First, we are amazed with the quality of the worgen and goblin starter zones leveling and farming wow gold in early games. Rolling as one these new playable races is definitely a highlight of Cataclysm.
The worgens of the human nation of Gilneas are battling a terrible werewolf curse that continues to spread like wildfire among the population. As the infected worgen population grows, there are conflicting emotions on how to deal with them. Kill them like savage creatures or accept them into the fold?
The choice is a gray one due to the erratic behavior of infected worgens; they have a hunger for violence but still retain a shred of human compassion. Quests explore the struggle of worgens and they need in wow gold, especially in the face of an invasion from the neighboring Undead led by Queen Sylvanas Windrunner.
Meanwhile, goblins barely escape a terrible volcanic eruption in their home island and are forced to find a new home in Kalimdor. Luck was at least on their side; after meeting and helping Thrall on their listless journeys, the former Warchief offered the goblins a place alongside the orcs, trolls and other Horde races.
Dungeons too flesh out the sense of fear and destruction prevalent throughout the ravaged Azeroth. Newly unlocked level 80+ areas display the destructive intent of Deathwing and his minions, seemingly in collusion with the Old Gods. Mount Hyjal is under siege from Ragnaros the Firelord who wants to burn down the World Tree, while Grim Batol is crawling with Twilight’s Hammer cultists doing the dark dragon’s bidding.
But easily the most breathtaking new zone is the underwater Vashj’ir region which captures the vastness of a hidden ocean realm. You can spend more hours getting lost in the hundred or so quests in the region and the 5-man dungeon Throne of the Tides rather than farming for wow gold.
Things are bound to heat up as the expansion progresses and we get ever closer to facing Deathwing himself. That fight promises to be just as heart-pounding as the Lich King encounter, so go run those heroics, collect wow gold as many as you can and raids as preparation.
