What We Know About Patch 3.9 and Cataclysm

World of Warcraft Patch 3.9 - World of Warcraft Cataclysm

It’s been a
long time since Cataclysm was first announced, and honestly we haven’t
seen all that much information come out that wasn’t already discussed at
Blizzcon 2009. That’s likely about to change soon as the rumor mills
are roaring about the beta starting in April or May. But, even with a
beta on the way, players are likely going to be spending a tremendous
amount of time trying to uncover the new details that will make up their
gameplay in 6+ months. So, the 3.9 announcement is a big deal for a lot
of lore and detail hungry fans.

What the 3.9 Patch Will Do

As of right
now, we don’t know for a fact what the 3.9 patch will entail as a whole.
It is likely to be the complete prologue patch for the expansion pack,
as we have already seen details in the twilight models, the earthquakes
in game, and the various other items in the patch files from 3.3 and
beyond. However, after that, we only know that the retaking of Echo
Isles and Gnomereggan – the homes of the Trolls and Gnomes, two of the
least developed races in the game.

For many players this is a very welcome
development. After all, these are two races that have been around since
launch day and have never gotten much respect, even with two new races
already added and two more on the way. So, fleshing them out and getting
them their own events and lore heroes is a must.

What This
Means for Cataclysm

The big question though is what this
will do to tie in with the Cataclysm release that will occur probably a
month or so after the patch. Will it be a big precursor, or will there
be another patch after 3.9 with details on the actual changes? We
already know that the Cataclysm changes to the world itself will come
whether you have the expansion or not, so the big question now is when
that will happen and how much of the new content will we have access to?
Looks like we’ll have to wait and see for a bit longer.
