WOW Cataclysm Expansion – Alpha Released
May 5th, 2010 | 
Author: WOW Cataclysm Begins…
Cataclysm WOW Expansion Alpha Released – and although it is closed to the majority public (me included 
), if you know a blizzard employee, you should have them request you a key a.s.a.p.!
But this is still fantastic news because it means that the expansion is now playable to a large extent, and hopefully we’ll be able to get some information about beta once the
alpha has been going for awhile.
Just remember, due to this information, I’m sure there’s going to be large amounts of scams trying to get information saying you can get into Alpha, remember that they are not real and it’s only a friends and family alpha! – Even Blizzard have already see a pick in the complaints of scams!
Updates on WOW Cataclysm Expansion changes:
WOW Cataclysm PvE – PvP System Changes
PvE Changes:
The Major PvE change is the current Badge system is to be replaced by a PvE points system, similar to the current battlegrounds system. There will be 2 tiers of points:
- Hero Points – Low-tier, easier-to-get PVE points. Maximum cap to how many you can own, but no cap to how quickly you can earn them. Earned from most dungeons. (most like the current Emblem of Triumph).
- Valor Points – High-tier, harder-to-get PvE points. Maximum cap to how many you can own, as well as a cap to how many you can earn per week. Earned from Dungeon Finder daily Heroic and from raids. (most like the current Emblem of Frost).
PvP Changes:
PvP is getting a points system as well:
- Honor Points – Low-tier, easier-to-get PVP points. There will be a maximum cap to how many you can own, but no cap to how quickly you can earn them. Earned from most PvP activities.
- Conquest Points – High-tier, harder-to-get PvP points. There will be a maximum cap to how many you can own, and a cap to how many you can earn per week. Earned from winning Rated Battlegrounds or Arenas. (currently called Arena Points).
The higher-tier points will, of course, have better rewards. When a new tier of gear is released, the higher tier of points will be converted to the lower tier, so players will always begin a new season with no Valor or Conquest Points.
WOW PvE – PvP points changed:
There are also plans for players to be able to convert the lower tier PvP points to PvE and vice versa, though at a slight loss.
WOW Cataclysm Raids Changes
Blizzard is chucking the separate lockouts for 10 and 25 man encounters, on both normal and heroic modes. In other words, there will be one lockout for each raid, you’ll no longer be able to complete both versions of a raid. Instead, raid leaders will now be able to change the size of an existing raid to suit the size of the group, for example, if half of a raid has been completed as 25 man, it will be possible to swap the rest of it to 10 man.
Both 10 and 25 man raids will drop the same loot in Cataclysm, but more loot will drop from each boss in 25 man mode, along with more points, and more gold, making the challenge of a larger raid worthwhile.
Raids will be able decide whether or not to tackle each boss as a normal or heroic encounter, as they reach it.

The new way to power level your World of Warcraft characters is by instance leveling, which pretty much means all the old leveling guides are obsolete. Thankfully, there are now some good instance leveling guides available, like Dugi’s Dungeon Leveling Guide. Let’s take a closer look at the major differences between traditional WoW leveling guides and the new instance leveling guide.
