The REAL reason for "Cataclysm" Expansion Pack
...
China
...
not Lore
not to fill out current (old) content
not because it's cheap and easy
...
China used to be over half of the player base of WoW
They can now level to 75 in TBC
Then level 75-85 in the new zones added in Catacylsm
Am I the only one who sees this as obvious?
It bypasses all the crazy undead/northrend/zombie/skull issues.

China already has wotlk.

china may have a huge user base, but asia total is estimated at only 6% of total income. why? because the payment plan in asia makes you pay for play time, not unlimited time for a month or whatnot.

i agree with OP

[Evert]

Who cares,
China gets new stuff, so do we.
Other reasons for Cataclysm are:
- Old continent was getting really old
- New games come, wow needs some new stuff
- Its about time to make old continents fly able
- many areas where not used, and new the form an entire new expansion. (saves other area's for later)

And the real reason behind World War II was to exterminate all the jews.

The real reason for Cataclysm is this http://www.swtor.com/ and I bet once a release date or period has been announced, Cataclysm will have its release date announced.

Chinese players already play wow on korean or taiwan servers.Also who cares about them?

My bear brother, the real reason for Cataclysm is the OLD WORLD SUCKS! The leveling flow is horrible compared to anything post-BC!

People have to constantly tell people they've recruited into the game, "Don't worry! It'll get better after level 58!"

Which is why people who long for the "glory days" of vanilla WoW are idiots. Nostalgia clouds objectivity.
