It was just recently that Blizzard held a press conference in line with their third expansion which is the Cataclysm. A mixed of emotions was definitely seen and read across World of Warcraft forums after the said conference. Some were disappointed while some were happy. Bottom line is everyone already wants to get their hands on Cataclysm.

If you have been looking on information as to what the press conference holds, you come to the right place. In here we will be discussing a synthesis on what was being discussed and a few ideas that were shelled out. At least these will keep us for quite some time until the real expansion arrives.

One thought that somehow made an impact from the press conference is the removal of the Path of the Titans. Since this place is suppose to be connected with Archaeology, the new profession’s focus will be on the showing of the lore of the game and also uncovering the history of Azeroth. Players can be able to find two types of artifacts. One would be the lore artifacts that can be able to teach you about the world. The second one is the cosmetic or vanity rewards. As stated archaeology is one optional profession.

Expect that World of Warcraft will have an Egyptian inspired theme. This is according to Alex Afrasiabi who is the lead designer of the world. Uldum for one will contain the Egyptian theme carrying some of the themes of Ahn’Qiraj. A cat like race will be introduced in this zone and will be referred to as the Tol’vir. Deepholm would be an Elemental Plane of Earth where Deathwing is resting. He will not be breaking into Azeroth as he will be heading to Maelstroom.

In addition, the level up experience has been overhauled. The user interface when you level up will be displayed if you will have a new talent point, when you unlock new abilities and new features like riding, glyphs use and battlegrounds. A park in Stormwind will be destroyed by Deathwing showing his impact on the world itself. Much more heirlooms will work for new goblin and even worgen characters. However, they will not past level 80. Garrosh would now be the acting warchief of Orgimmar and will move his throne room in front of it. The valley of wisdom will now become the Tauren District.

These are some of the things you can duly expect come Cataclysm. In fact there are still more under development and just waiting to be uncovered when the expansion would be integrated in the game. I know some may have been disappointed but at least Blizzard is doing their best to give us the best World of Warcraft expansion ever.
