Before i start any RP character i just wanted to ask whats the communities take on cataclysm characters ? are you starting any cataclysm stories yet since it wouldn't make much sense for a gilneas person to be out adventuring around unless he somehow built a tunnel or was smuggled via boat "prince of Egypt / moses " style. and then you would have to explain how he becomes a worgen latter, possibly through the silverpine cataclysm story with crowly and his blood pact.
But the final question was can i make a cataclysm character and could he / she participate in stories or is the community waiting till cataclysm hits live before they officially start any cataclysm stories.
