With many players eagerly awaiting the official launch of World of Warcraft Cataclysm Classic, it is important to go over all of the content we can expect to see once the expansion hits live servers.
Given how many changes were originally introduced in Cataclysm, it is great to have a small refresher as to which systems, raids, and gameplay changes were introduced following the Wrath of the Lich King expansion.

WoW Cataclysm Classic Zones
As with every new expansion, players will have access to brand new zones where they can reach max level. Since two new races were also added in Cataclysm, we'll get two new starting zones, namely Kezan for Goblins, and Gilneas for Worgen. Here is a list of all the end-game zones players can level in:
- Mount Hyjal (80-82)
- Vashj'ir (80-82)
- Deepholm (82-83)
- Uldum (83-84)
- Twilight Highlands (84-85)
Given Deathwing's assault on Azeroth, many of the beloved zones also have been changed, showing just how much the dragon's rampage has shattered the delicate balance, ultimately angering the elements.

WoW Cataclysm Classic Dungeons
We will also get to experience a lot of memorable and beloved dungeons that will not only be a form of gearing for the first raid dungeons but also allow you to level up at your pace if questing is not your forte. Some of the WoW Classic dungeons will also see major changes to boss encounters and trash.

WoW Cataclysm Classic Raid Dungeons
Another highly-anticipated feature of Cataclysm is Raid Dungeons which will help players gear up before they take on the very difficult raids of the expansion. According to Blizzard, these raid dungeons will go live on May 30 at 3:00 pm PDT globally. All of them will require players to be level 85.
Cataclysm Classic Raid Dungeons
| Difficulty | Raid Dungeon |
| (10) Normal, (10) Heroic, (25) Normal, (25) Heroic | The Bastion of Twilight |
| (10) Normal, (10) Heroic, (25) Normal, (25) Heroic | Blackwing Descent |
| (10) Normal, (10) Heroic, (25) Normal, (25) Heroic | Throne of the Four Winds |
Raid Dungeons have been a hot topic recently as some players are wondering whether gatekeepers will deny sub-optimal classes from participating, however, the Classic community so far has been more laid back and accepting of new players.
Hopefully, the Cataclysm expansion will be met with patience and understanding, given how many bugs and errors are being reported daily by the community in the Beta version.
