Alpha-testing of a supplement to the online game World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, rumored to start today - 12 January 2010, reports wow.som.

In the tests will be attended by staff only Blizzard, but alpha-version of the game will be distributed exclusively on the physical media and will not be available for download. Recall that the release date for the game there, but, presumably, will release in 2010.

However, it is likely that soon the network will add new details about World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

- A new addon for World of Warcraft. Thousands of years of dark forces hidden in the depths of the ocean, and many of us thought that with them is over forever. But we were wrong: the evil is at our shores, and the terrible cataclysm struck the world of Azeroth, cast down in confusion ranks of its defenders. Who will win the new battle?

"While the eyes of the Alliance and Horde were converted to Northrend, in the depths of the Underdark, the kingdom of the elements of the earth elemental spaces, dozed terrible evil" - stir up the epic developers. Fighting will be with a black dragon Deathwing, known more for Strategy Warcraft II. Waking up, the destroyer of so affect the world, that many of the area changed beyond recognition. Arise and new location. For example, for high-level characters will be available to some sunken city Vaysh'ir.

Level Cap

Level characters to which you can Resume a new addon will be somewhat lower than expected, and will be 85.

Can assume that Blizzard wants to leave more room for future add-ons before players will be able to reach the anniversary, hundredth level. The flow for the initial zones is even more easier, but the final five levels will be much more serious obstacle.

New classes

The cataclysm in the game will not add new classes. Instead, Blizzard offers players a previously inaccessible combinations of races and classes:

- Man Hunter
- Orc Mage
- Night Elf mage
- Dwarf mag
- Blood Elf Warrior
- Dwarf Shaman
- Undead Hunter
- Tauren Paladin
- Tauren Priest
- Dwarf Priest
- Troll Druid

Disaster made two new races to look for allies among the players. These races arethe horde for goblins, and worgens for the alliance.
