Cataclysm is going to be earth shattering. Literally. The face of Azeroth is changing. How much? Time will tell, but we know of a few things like the flooding of Desolace and the splitting of the Barrens. With this massive overhaul, what ripples can we expect to see on new or leveling alts? Well, I’d imagine a lot. Blizzard isn’t afraid to pull classic quests lines (e.g., Ony attunement, Atiesh, Corrupted Ashbringer) so assume the worst. If there is anything you’ve been putting off, I’d say now is the time to do it. For me, I have to get off my ass and hunt those damn whelplings. With Azshara becoming a starting zone, I’m assuming the Azure Whelps will no longer be dropping there. I could be wrong, but I don’t want to take my chances…it tends to bite me in the butt when I do.
So, let’s say Cataclysm is here. What do us poor, alt-ridden saps do about all the new low level stuff? All my alts are in Outlands and Northrend. All my character slots are full. Do I delete the Priest (again) to make room for a Goblin? No, not going to happen. Do I fire up another account to play with? Great scheme on Blizzard’s parts. Mo’ money for them. Well, what I’m really, really, really hoping for is more slots. Yes, I already have one of every class, so I can’t use that as a complaining point. But really, we know there will be more. I can’t see them stopping at just one hero class. I say open the floodgates! Give us 5 more slots! …or at least 1 more.
