Following the announcement of the new WoW expansion, Cataclysm, at the BlizzCon 2009 Opening Ceremony, Blizzard has just launched the official Cataclysm website.
The site currently features story and art for the Goblin and Worgen races, as well as information on their starting areas, a FAQ, and the official trailer.
The art is absolutely beautiful! More details as we get them, but go check out the site now! The WoW preview panel is coming up shortly and we'll keep you updated.
BlizzCon 2009 is coming up on August 21st and 22nd! We've got all the latest news and information. At BlizzCon you can play the latest games, meet your guildmates, and ask the developers your questions. Plus, there's some great looking costumes.

Unless they took the site down as soon as they put it up, it's not there :(
But know what I'm most excited about? Heroic SFK! That instance has always been my favorite

It's up now!

Hey, at least you can access SOMETHING. The fascists running network security at my office have blocked every site affiliated with Blizzard Entertainment.

It's working for me..and it looks very good! Can't wait for the next expansion, im geeking out already!

Holy fuck....*mind is blown*
There's just...SO MUCH TO PROCESS AT ONCE! I can't believe they're destroying Old Azeroth....I'll honestly miss parts of it. I'm assuming it's phased though, because there's no way newbies are going to start the game in that chaos.
Is it just me, or has there been no Female Worgen models shown yet? I'm curious to see what they look like.
Spiraea Aug 21st 2009 3:36PM
That's the problem I had with all the rumored (turned out to be real) info. I just couldn't see destroying Azeroth but phasing does seem the only option here. The question is.. how will 85s be able to run and help their lowbie friends in Old Azeroth?!
Tori Aug 21st 2009 3:37PM
I agree, I hope they don't make it impossible to see Old Azeroth and the ability to help your lowbie alts and friends. =/

It IS NOT PHASED. It's said that several times so far. They're changing the world for everyone.
Tori Aug 21st 2009 5:06PM
Yup, I stand corrected. I posted this before I saw all that. :)
Man, I still can't believe it though...

I can't seem to get the trailer to load but I'm loving the Goblin and Worgen profile pages with the 3D models

I'm sure it's because they're getting hit super hard right now but is anyone else having issues downloading the HD version of the trailer? When the Blizz Downloader kicked in, it said the download wasn't authorized.
Spiraea Aug 21st 2009 3:39PM
Ditto
FeverRay Aug 21st 2009 3:39PM
holy sh**!!!! that trailer is mind blowing!
goblins! worgen! destruction! flying in azeroth revamped!
I'll surely miss old azeroth, but man, this looks and sounds S-W-E-E-T!

Does anyone else feel a little weird playing the current version of EK and Kal... I mean, knowing it's future is destined for destruction? Make sure you starting shooting screenshots :)

Nice new graphics there. Too bad I would need new computer to run that with those settings.
My prediction: BWL will be the new Naxx.

Holy site crash, Batman!
