World of Warcraft, gaming's best established massive online game, is about to change forever. On December 7th 2010, Blizzard will release the game's third expansion aptly name Cataclysm, which will greatly alter the game's mechanics and story. In addition to lore progression, new content, and a redone beginner experience, Blizzard has used Cataclysm as an opportunity to take a philosophical shift in game design.
