[QUOTE="Admin, post: 62896, member: 1"] Blizzard has [URL='https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/24064846/the-cataclysm-classic-pre-expansion-patch-goes-live-april-30']announced[/URL] that a coming update to World of Warcraft: Classic re-introducing the fiery Cataclysm expansion will land on May 20. Officially, Classic will heat up a little before that on April 30 with the pre-patch event. Cataclysm's pre-patch back in the day was one doozy of a change, too. It introduced playable Worgen and Goblins, set the dragon Deathwing loose on Azeroth, and because of Deathwing's escapades, transformed the entire landscape of Azeroth's main continents. The full expansion on May 20 will include seven new (to Classic) zones, nine new dungeons, three new raid dungeons, the Archeologu profession. Flying will be introduced to Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms. Additionally, with the transformation of the main continents' landscapes, numerous new quests will be introduces, while old ones will disappear forever. It's a pretty drastic change to what the current map looks like: the Barrens splits in half, Thousand Needles goes underwater, and a chunk of Darkshore's coastline is washed away. Also, Deathwing is flying around and can randomly set entire zones on fire. Cool!
