Things to do when you're sick of Cataclysm - Vanilla WoW
Cataclysm is here, and that means that players are already getting ready for it. Some players have been making bucket lists and prepping their accounts since last August when the expansion pack was first announced. Others are just now getting excited as we get closer to the start of beta. Whichever camp you're in, you likely have a list of things you want to get out of the way before the new content lands.
Achievements First up, there are the achievements that might disappear from the game when the new expansion pack finally lands and the old world is changed. If you've yet to get your exploration achievements or your loremasters, you need to get out there and clear them up before your opportunities dry up for good and new ones are introduced. We have no proof this will happen, but you'd rather be safe than sorry.
Gold Stashes We all know how inflation works in WoW, so you may as well build up a nice gold stash before the new content hits in the fall. If you don't have a good chunk of gold set aside, things like Old World flying, new gear, and all the professions you want to level up will be much harder to complete.
Leveling in the Old World Have any old world characters you haven't yet levelled up? Now is the time to do it before their starting areas are changed forever. Sure, the new starting sections will be more fun soon, but you still want to see the way it was when the game was released. Already, major changes are coming down. Act fast before Blizzard changes this aspect of the game forever.
Gear and PvP If you're a gear hound, you'd better get into the dungeons and start farming before the gear is made too easy to be worth your time. We all know how Blizzard likes to tone down difficulty at the end of an expansion and we're getting very close to that happening. The PvP seasons will start wrapping up soon too, leaving you with less things to farm on.
If you're still working on the Lich King or just out there farming gold, consider writing up a solid list of things that you'd like to work on as you prepare for the launch of our next big expansion, because time is running short to take advantage of the content we've been playing for the last 18 months.
