World Of Warcraft: Cataclysm (PC & Mac) (Expansion Pack)

With the recent destruction of azaroth at the hands of deathwing, the ensuing cataclysm has changed most of the zones in Azaroth with the shattering patch, which has run upto the release of Cataclysm, which will finalise the expansions changes.

With this expansion, not only has blizzard added new areas, but also completely changed the old content for the better, with this expansion you have hours of new content, and the new ability to fly in Eastern kingdoms and Kalimdor! Yes, you heard me right.. you can now fly everywhere, as long as you are level 60 and have the ability to fly in azaroth.

So, why is this the best expansion yet? It's because it adds a ton of content, it may not have a new world, or continent like BC and WotLK but it has made so many improvements and the new zones are bloody fantastic, and this is coming from someone who has played on the beta, that it justifies not adding a new world or content, the amount of detail and effort that blizzard has put into… more »

I have given this 5 stars, and it's worth everyone of them.

I have played WoW since day 1 about 6 years back. Despite a few times when I got bored of it or just too tired to be bothered, I always found myself going back to. I have played AION, AoC, LoTRO, and so on, always going back to WoW. When you go back you notice how poor it is these days. I really looked forward to Cataclysm as I did with all the expansions, but this one is just the most banal spoon-fed dross ever. Don't imagine for one moment you can go to a new area ahead of being sent there, if you do, you will find no quests and nothing to do. You must be sent there first. Also, if you do move on and decide to come back and finish off all the quest you will pull your hair out trying to find where you where up to if you dropped all the old quests.

Mob grinding for those that like such things is frowned upon now and it is quite difficult. If you are a healer, especially a druid healer, expect to have a really hard time. You will have to have groups prepared to CC properly as… more »

Mob grinding for those that like such things is frowned upon now and it is quite difficult. If you are a healer, especially a druid healer, expect to have a really hard time. You will have to have groups prepared to CC properly as wading in will 100% get you all killed. Healing is now an exercise in topping up and if the group is intent on agro pulling you will oom in no time at all in all fights. Priests fair a bit better, but druids are seriously damaged now.

There's a new game called RIFT due out, it looks similar to WoW and people are raving about it. If I can get along with that I'll be very happy indeed. I'll never go back to WoW this time, even though there's 4 months prepay left on my account. It's been weeks since I played it and I'm glad. Heed all that's been said before me, you will need a good group or guild to get anything done now.
