Damn son!
I'm pretty sure Deathwing first appeared in Warcraft 2...
It's not like Anet invented the word Cataclysm.....or Blizzard for that matter.
He was referencing the title of the Article and the name of the event. Which was called the Cataclysm, and its effects were almost identical to that which happened in wow when deathwing arose from Deepholm, the only difference is that everything the Cataclysm killed turned into Undead minions.
Think of it as Deathwing with the power of the Lich King, everything he sears in flame becomes an undead minion to wander the world for all eternity
A Cataclysm is a well known name for world rending events in many IPs and mythology far proceeding both Warcraft and GW. get your facts straight son, most ideas for games aren't original.

Umm.. this is kind of like saying X fantasy game copied swords from Y fantasy game
GW's Cataclysm is some dude reading a scroll
WOW's Cataclysm is a dragon burninating the county side
don't see how their similar other then the name...

-Malgus playing the MesmerI haven't enjoyed myself this much since the sacking of Coruscant!
I think he was joking guys. Don't have to be uptight about everything
Don't remember specific names, but there was a generic "old god" behind the Orr Cataclysm. Isn't DW driven insane by an "old god" as well? I'll check out Dragonsoul eventually, I suppose.He was referencing the title of the Article and the name of the event.

Azeroth (the Warcraft world) had it's first Cataclysm before Guildwars.
If you wanna be all conspiratory (people love that on these forums) you could say that Guildwars lifted it's Cataclysm from Warcraft.

Also, from the very same article linked:
It happens people. Quite a lot.The concept of a sundering, or a world being reshaped, is a common theme found in fantasy.

Cataclysm is a word describing widespread destruction.
I'm pretty condifent that Guild Wards did not come up with it.
I think the most famous Cataclysm was in the Dragonlance series. Too bad there has not been a Dragonlance game in 20 years or so.
>.< Ixuzcc,
Azeroth time can not be converted into Tyria Time line..simple as hell.
reason?
it's two diffrent games(yes..both is an MMO) but diffrent settings.
Guild wars is about well..a bit more realistic setting than Wow is(wow is very VERY fantasy based)
Guild wars, major race is...guess what Humans
Wows Major race is guess whaaat..Orcs AND humans.
Guild wars do not have 'dragons'(!Guild wars 1!)
and again, do not attempt to convert two diffrent timelines.
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Tyria_%28world%29
The timeline places its age at a minimum of 11,000 years oldNor Did World of Warcraft or any warcraft game :Phttp://www.wowpedia.org/Azeroth_%28world%29
We have no clue, how old Azeroth is 100k+ is likely but we have no valid source.
I wasn't talking about timelines. The first Azeroth Cataclysm (also known as the Great Sundering) has been part of established lore since pretty much the start of the Warcraft universe - I mean, the world looks like it does BECAUSE of it. And the Warcraft universe is older than the Guild Wars universe. About 11 years older.
Therefore, the first Azeroth Cataclysm technically "came first".
And I don't even KNOW why you decided to point out differences between the games.
