What is Peacebloom vs Ghouls?

It’s a Cataclysm mini-game that takes place in the Hillsbrad Foothills that is expected to attract lots of gamers. The game concept is very similar to (likely based on) the Plant vs Zombies game by PopCap.

See the actual game here:

Cataclysm sees a battle for resources on the Gilneas battlegrounds for teams of 10 players. The group PvP have players start at different sides of the map and battle their way to the center to take control of resource points. The team who gets 2000 resources first wins the match. The battle can be considered an end-game event as it is meant for level 85 players.

………In The Battle for Gilneas, three distinct resource points are available for the taking by either the Horde or the Alliance: the Mines, the Lighthouse, and the Waterworks. Once any of these points is held by a team, access to nearby graveyards will be granted. In addition, workers from the controlling faction will show up to collect the resources necessary to win the battle.

Chaos will be unleashed upon Azeroth when Deathwing returns, but many steadfast leaders will see the Cataclysm as an opportunity to further the cause of their people… or simply attain more power. The situation in Gilneas is no different. Will the embattled Gilneans be able to defend their land after realigning with the Alliance? Or will the Forsaken, reinforced by Garrosh’s Horde, seize this near-forgotten territory as a new stronghold in the Eastern Kingdoms?…..

Here’s an early version of the battleground:

For the complete overview of the 10v10 Gilneas battle, check out the official preview.

As mentioned, Cataclysm also introduces new race and class combinations. You always wanted to play an Undead Hunter? No problem. A Tauren Priest? Sure, go ahead. All these new combinations will finally allow you to play your favorite class along with your favorite race. With all the changes to the Old World, this should easily give you enough incentive to go fight in the World of Warcraft once more.

If this is still not enough, you can just read the list of additions to the game, because it really seems like a wish list of what the players have always desired: Exciting new dungeons and raids, a plethora of new quests, vastly powerful boss monsters and an incredible amount of new items wait for discovery.

Cataclysm New Races

Extended Battlegrounds which will now increase your PVP rank – which was restricted to Arena PVP up to now – as well as identical rewards for 10- and 25-man raids and a newly designed system to level your whole guild guarantee a near infinite amount of fun.

“Burning Azeroth to the ground” in this case can be understood quite literally by the way. After Deathwing spent centuries in his hidden lair in the underground realm of Deepholm, he returned to Azeroth to stir fear and suffering amongst its inhabitants. To accomplish his goal he strikes at the very center of Azeroth, leaving Outland and Northrend untouched. Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, though, can hardly be recognized as what they once were after Deathwings arrival.

Deep scars corrugate the Barrens and divide vast areas of the land. Lava is erupting from underneath the surface and large areas of the land are barely recognizable: Thousand Needles is now under water, huge areas of Feralas have been hit by the flood as well. The dam in Loch Modan is destroyed, leaving the Wetlands vulnerable to masses of water unlike anything the people living in the once relatively peaceful area had ever seen.

Preventing this outburst of anger from happening is now impossible. But the battle against Deathwing and the potential destruction he could still unleash has just begun.

As a big fan of MMORPGS, the announcement of a new expansion pack for World Of Warcraft Cataclysm, due for release in later this year is really exciting.

Blizzard’s Chris Metzen has said that World of Warcraft Cataclysm will change the face of the WoW online multi-player game. This latest and what is thought to be the best expansion pack yet boasts a host of new features, these include increased players, now up to 85.Other new features include seven new playing zones, two new playable races- Worgen for the Alliance and Goblin for the Horde, new monsters, new character talents and hundreds of new quests for you to play.

I will be looking for a comprehensive guide to the WoW Cataclysm expansion. I can be sure to find step by step quest guide and leveling walk-throughs, expert analysis of the big changes to my current 80s.

Below is a brief guide to the upcoming WoW Cataclysm instances. Some of them will be playable immediately, other encounters will have to wait until players have advanced a few levels. Whichever one you enter, you can be sure to find some new and interesting epic loot upgrades.

WoW Cataclysm Dungeon: Blackrock Caverns

Blackrock Caverns is a WoW Cataclysm dungeon located in the legendary Blackrock Mountains from the original WoW game .It also serves as a offsite base for WoW Cataclysm’s main nemesis, Deathwing.

WoW Cataclysm Dungeon: Grim Batol

Grim Batol dungeon in WoW Cataclysm will serve as level up instance for players to gain experience and upgrade their loot. It’s unclear yet if Blizzard plans to make leveling all the way to 85 in dungeons viable.

WoW Cataclysm Dungeon: Deepholm

Deepholm is the new hub of WoW Cataclysm. You will have portals there that let you teleport to Hyjal, Uldum, and any other place you want to go in Cataclysm. The Twilight’s Hammer is now serving Deathwing and they have managed to bring him back to full health in the Temple of Earth located at the center of the map. Deepholm is not actually linked to Azeroth, the connection is where Deathwing emerged from the ground.

WoW Cataclysm Dungeon: Lost City of Tol’Vir

All we know of this new Cataclysm instance is that it will be outdoors and will be a 5 man dungeon.

WoW Cataclysm Dungeon: Abyssal Maw

Abyssal Maw is a 5 man dungeon in Cataclysm for levels 78-82. It will be located in the Sunken City of Vashj’ir, located in the elemental plane of water, and you will be fighting in the ocean floor.

WoW Cataclysm Dungeon: Halls of Origination

Halls of Origination is the first 5 man dungeon that will be located in the lost deserts of Uldum for WoW Cataclysm. Halls of Origination will feature 7 bosses. This will be the ultimate Titan dungeon in WoW Cataclysm, and will have a visual look much like a Pharaoh’s tomb. Brann Bronzebeard has been on his travels again and can be found here.

WoW Cataclysm Old World Heroic: Deadmines

Deadmines is the first instance that most Alliance World of Warcraft players experienced playing the game. I cringe when I think back to how I played back then… WoW Cataclysm is creating a new Heroic version of this classic instance. Now I am used to soloing it on my level 80 mage to farm low level mats for alts, it will be interesting to go back and face an 80+ Van Cleef.

WoW Cataclysm Old World Heroic: Shadowfang Keep

Shadowfang Keep is an instance that Horde players will know really well. This old world dungeon is long, winding and confusing  but I love it just for the music! A Heroic version of another low level dungeon which is often farmed and known by many should be interesting. I wonder if it will have another impossible to find rare drop weapon again?

It looks like players won’t be short on content if they like running instances. As usual we can expect to see more instances added as new patches are implemented. However, first of all we have the challenge of what is waiting for us in WoW Cataclysm and with the aid of a good Cataclysm guide should be rolling in new loot as soon as possible after the release.

Below is an introduction to the new raids players will find in the new World of Warcraft Cataclysm expansion. Blizzard are staying with the 10man/25 man model and expect to see a continuation of the “epic” modes for both. As you will see there is plenty to look forward to…

WoW Cataclysm Raid: Blackwing Descent

Blackwing Descent is a new raid in WoW Cataclysm inspired by Blackwing Lair. Nefarian is said to return to the instance. There will be new loot, new creatures and new art in the Cataclysm version of this raid.

WoW Cataclysm Raid: The Firelands

The Firelands is a really exciting new WoW Cataclysm raid that is situated in the elemental plane of fire. This is an outdoor raid instance, which offers challenges of its own to raiders. And the boss for the Firelands? None other than Ragnaros himself last battled in Molten Core of “vanilla” WoW. This time around, expect him to be an even more ominous foe.

WoW Cataclysm Raid: Skywall

Skywall is a WoW Catacalysm raid located in the Air Elemental Plane. So far not much has been announced for it except for that it will be a raid for level 85 players.

WoW Cataclysm Raid: Grim Batol

WoW Cataclysm’s final raid that was annouced is Grim Batol. It will be located in the newly opened Grim Batol pvp zone. Again, nothing has been announced for this new WoW Cataclysm raid except that it will be one of the four raids available to level 85 in Cataclysm.

WoW Cataclysm guide will keep you uptodate with all the latest information about these new raids as soon as any more details are revealed.
