WoW Cataclysm World Event

The number one Cataclysm related thing we have heard about recently is the world event – the in-game occasion that will announce Deathwing’s arrival and bring about this whole new scenario. Thus far, we haven’t gotten any official word on what to expect, but some very active data miners have unlocked quite a bit of information from the patch files to showcase what we might see.

Current Information

Thus far, we have quite a few little hints as to what might be coming. We saw that there were invisible mobs wandering throughout Stormwind, and recently Twilight’s Hammer items and altars have been unlocked – all pointing toward cult member incursion before Deathwing’s escape. Other small items have been found such as banners and dragon filled items that all point to the cult helping Deathwing with his escape.

Additionally, we have the Ruby Sanctum raid dungeon coming in the 3.3.5 patch. This intermediate raid dungeon will have players defending the Ruby Dragon Aspect from a troupe of black dragon representatives trying to clear the way for Deathwing’s return. Later, there is expected to be an even greater incursion as they try to clear away more of Deathwing’s old enemies.

What We Don’t Know

Of course, how the actual event will go down is still unknown. Whether there will be a long lead-in or if the black dragon will just bust through Azeroth and start reigning fire on everyone is yet to be seen. We’ll likely have significant confirmations soon as the last few patches before the 4.0 upgrade are released. Additionally, while the developers have remained rather tightlipped thus far about the content in Cataclysm, they will start releasing Alpha information soon, which always leaks just a little bit. Betas should start by the middle of the summer and that means a free flow of information that will show us everything we need to know about the transition.
