World of Warcraft: Cataclysm – The WoW universe at a new level

World of Warcraft represents an incredible phenomenon in the world of games that is starting to become more and more popular in our country. This is also highlighted by the local events organized with the occasion of the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm official launch. WoW Cataclysm is the third expansion pack of this massively multiplayer online role playing game.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm tends to be much more than an expansion due to the numerous new features introduced. Actions take place in the well-known (after its name) Azeroth which has suffered dramatic changes after the Alliance and Horde surfaced and left a cataclysm behind.

The main new features

In other words the new game model asks gamers to rediscover a known territory from an entirely new perspective. Among the most important new features are:

• 2 new species are available: Gamers will be able to play as 2 completely new species called Worgen and Goblin, along with the 2 species that already exist (Alliance and Horde). Practically the variety doubles and offers a new perspective on characters
• Maximum level of gameplay: 85. The level rises to 85 and this brings new unique things such as superior powers and fights with the Deathwing to set destiny.
• Flight: If the introduction of 2 new species seemed insufficient to you add the possibility of flying through all the territory of Azeroth. The game gets a unique perspective from dazzling heights.
• New zones to explore: The producers included a few completely new territories to be explored in the Cataclysm. Among them are the Uldum and the Grim Batol. Another territory that is not missing is the spectacular underwater city called Vashj’ir.
• A new conflict zone for PvP: PvP battles will take place in a new territory, on an island called the Tol Barad, which completes the already existing places in Battlegrounds.
• Archeology, a new job: If you are a fan of artifacts you will love the possibility of becoming an archeologist in WoW: Cataclysm because you will be able to find spectacular objects and unique prices.
