Cataclysm Tomorrow!

Well this is it! Tomorrow marks the start of another chapter if World of Warcraft history. We have been talking about it and wondering about it for a little over a year now, and now the day has finally come. I'm both excited and a little bit sad, but that's because I'm a sucker for nostalgia :P

Wrath of the Lich King was the first expansion that I become more seriously involved in. But since I have downloaded WoW alpha, I wish more and more that I actually played during vanilla WoW but I digress...

The shattering brought upon many changes to the world that I knew and loved. I miss the Barrens, because everyone always complained about it, I miss how it is no more the peaceful place where the kodo's play and Chuck Norris jokes can be heard.

I'll miss the Ironforge Airfield, I've went there many times and it was one of the more simple exploits but I loved the mystery of flying to Ironforge on my Alliance death knight and seeing it wondering what exactly was there; and more importantly...how can I get there? They made this place into a low level questing area. The same day as The Shattering I went on my Alliance death knight to go see it. I exploited to get there, even though there was probably an actual way to get there. Blizzard fixed it up, but it doesn't look like its normal, glitchy self anymore.

Another place that I will miss will be the Isle of Quel'Thalas. To get there before 4.0.1 all you had to do was swim, and if you played a class with some sort of water walking then that made your job much faster. But now, there are invisible walls to conquer. And I have no idea why, Blizzard was fine with this since it has been there since The Burning Crusade has been out. Quel'Thalas had to be my favourite place that I have visited. It is also so mysterious, just left to its own business. It is mentioned in lore as the home of the High Elves before it was destroyed by the Lich King (I think that's how it goes). I wasn't expecting them to just block it off, maybe it will be until I install the actual expansion, but maybe not.

But until tomorrow, I will just enjoy the world...while it is still worgen and goblin free :P
