[Cataclysm,] It’s a big deal, but it’s not the end of the world. That {the end of the world} happens tonight.
What happens tomorrow? The mainlands are reborn. The Goblin and the Worgen make themselves known throughout the lands, though players will have to wait until December 7 to play them.
“You’ve got this revamp of the entire world, free of charge, and then on December 7 comes two new playable races, along with five more levels and tons of new content to explore.”
So what should you do once you log into World of Warcraft tomorrow?
“This is the patch that changes World of Warcraft forever.”
