Blizzard mentions additional pre-Cataclysm content

Blizzard mentions additional pre-Cataclysm content

Recently, Blizzard Community Team member Zarhym addressed concerns regarding the stagnation of content in Icecrown Citadel by revealing that additional PvE and PvP will be released prior to the launch of World of Warcraft’s third expansion, Cataclysm.

You personally still seem to have a lot of raid content to experience in Icecrown Citadel. In that regard, one thing we’ll be doing in the coming months is slowly making the content in Icecrown Citadel a little more accessible to the majority of the player base; meanwhile the more advanced raiding guilds will be working their way through Heroic difficulties of the various final bosses, including the Lich King.

There’s a lot of content in Icecrown Citadel for those who like raids. There are plenty of bosses, a good deal of trash, quite the need for progression, and even random weekly quests which have varying degrees of difficulty. This is aside from the new boss in Vault of Archavon, the weekly raid quests in Dalaran, and the very popular cross-realm Dungeon Finder. We feel these features will bring enjoyment to those who like the PvE side of things for quite some time, allowing the average level 80 player to collect some great gear over time and hopefully have a shot at the Lich King before Cataclysm happens.

With that being said, we do have some additional PvE and PvP content and changes we plan to implement prior to the release of the big Cataclysm patch and subsequent retail release of that third expansion. We’ll be discussing these new features in more detail in the coming weeks.

As we stated before releasing Wrath of the Lich King, we still intend for Icecrown Citadel to be the final raid of the expansion in terms of tiered progression.

This shows promise for yet additional content during the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. What content would you like to see within the lore of WotLK? Let us know what you think by registering or posting below.

    Tim If this new release is intended to bring new things "in the coming months", then it sounds to me like Catacylsm is to be expected around November or December. Not anytime soon.

    The cross realm dungeon finder does make it easier to get dungeon groups, as I'm on a low population PVP server.

    MAGIC I would like to see more refreshed old world content like Ony. I never raided MC as a lvl 60 so it would be cool if they retuned it for 80, or come up with a scaling system so it converts you to lvl 60 and scales your gear accordingly.
