Prologue
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm (or Cata for short) is the third expansion for World of Warcraft. Set primarily in a drastically reforged Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms on the world of Azeroth, the expansion set follows the return of the evil Dragon Aspect Deathwing, formerly known as the ancient guardian Neltharion the Earth Warder, who causes a new Sundering as he makes his cataclysmic re-entrance into the world from Deepholm, the elemental plane of earth.
Gameplay Experience
Cataclysm will return players to the two continents of Azeroth for most of their campaigning, after years away in Outland and Northrend, opening new zones such as Mount Hyjal, the sunken world of Vashj'ir, Deepholm, Uldum and the Twilight Highlands. It will include two new playable races: the Worgen from the legendary kingdom of Gilneas for the Alliance, and the Bilgewater Cartel of the Goblins from the isle of Kezan for the Horde. Flying mounts will finally be usable in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms, while the new secondary profession Archaeology will be introduced. Reforging will make its debut in game, while player classes will be fully updated, including new race-class combinations.
Level Cap Raised
Players will be able to now level to 85. The amount of experience (XP) required from 80 to 85 is to be equivalent to leveling from 70-80 in WotLK.
Flying Mounts in Azeroth
Flight Master's License will allow players to use flying mounts around Azeroth for 250 gold and is trainable at level 60.
In addition, players will be able to purchase an increase to the flying speed of all of their 280% mounts to 310% for 5000 gold which is also subject to reputation discount with Orgrimmar / Stormwind. If you already have a 310% speed flying mount, all your mounts will become 310%.
