Blizzard has decided to create some world level events within the game to encourage player participation in the release of Cataclysm.

(Alliance) Operation: Gnomeregan

Quote from: Blizzard
Gelbin Mekkatorque is known as much for his technical brilliance as he is for his just leadership of the gnomes. In addition to being elected high tinker, the most prominent rank in gnomish society, Gelbin proved himself to be an inventor without equal by leading the construction of the Deeprun Tram, which links Stormwind and Ironforge. Yet all of the high tinker's achievements have been overshadowed by one catastrophic event that occurred under his rule: the fall of Gnomeregan.


Operation: Gnomeregan

Players will be able to take part in the siege of Gnomeregan by the Gnomes. High Tinker Mekkatorque is requesting player assistance in retaking the top part of Gnomeregan. In a series of quests and timed event, you can see some of the prologue of Cataclysm and the establishment of the Gnomes back in their home city moving out of Ironforge.

Players who complete the series of quests and event will be awarded the following:

[Gnomeregan Pride], [Gnomeregan Drape], and the Operation: Gnomeregan Feat of Strength.

(Horde) Echo Isles & Zalazane's Fall

Quote from: Blizzard
Most of Azeroth's savage trolls are infamous for their extreme hatred of other races, but the Darkspear tribe and its leader, Vol'jin, are an exception. Over the years, the Darkspears have proven to be invaluable members of the Horde. Vol'jin in particular is known to offer strategic advice to Warchief Thrall on a regular basis, and the cunning troll played a role in retaking the Undercity after it was overthrown by the rebel forces of Varimathras and Putress.

Yet for all of the tribe's accomplishments, the Darkspears are still plagued by a tragic history of exile. Long ago they were driven from Stranglethorn Vale's mainland by the more powerful trolls of the Gurubashi empire and then settled on a remote island. The Darkspears later sought refuge with the Horde when their isle was destroyed by a mysterious sea witch, and Thrall granted the trolls new lands on the Echo Isles off the coast of Durotar. Aside from a brief exodus when Daelin Proudmoore's fleet arrived to hunt down orcs, the Darkspears enjoyed relative stability until one of their own, Zalazane, drove his brethren from their latest home.


Zalazane's Fall

Players will be able to take part in the retaking of the Darkspear Troll homeland of Echo Isles. In a series of quests and time events, players will be able to see the prologue story of the Darkspear trolls moving out of Orgrimmar and into their own home once more.

Players who complete the series of quests and event will be awarded the following:

[Darkspear Pride], [Darkspear Shroud], and the Zalazane's Fall Feat of Strength.

Twilight Cult

The Twilight’s Hammer cult has managed to infiltrate both Stormwind and Orgrimmar through means of stealth and subterfuge. While harbingers of doom are nothing new on the streets of either city, something seems a little bit off about these newcomers. People are vanishing and there is unrest in the streets. So unsure of their real motives it’s up to you, the player, to discover what these doomsayers are up to and put a stop to it if need be.

Dommsayer

This event is the precursor to the final launch of Cataclysm. In addition to an event specific quest line becoming active for players on both factions, new "seasonal" like bosses will make appearances in old dungeons. These bosses are level 80 versions of older instances bosses.

These bosses will drop ilvl 251 items for players and share a common loot table.

Elemental Invader


In addition to these new bosses, players will see both Orgrimmar and Stormwind under constant attack by elementals.
