Which instances/raids are disappearing in Cataclysm?

My faith in this company has been restored.

Gnomer is going to be gone... apparently Blizz is setting up a pre-cataclysm event where the Gnomes get their city back and get a whole new starting area.

***Spoiler Alert***


If you've kept up with the test realm forums you'll see that the gnomes pretty much fail. So even Gnomer isn't being deleted...

On a side note the upcoming event is craptastic all around... Bunch of build up that's lead to a very anti-climatic end...

Fair enough. Will need to check out the forums for the PTR. I have just copied one of my solo toons over to the PTR so I could have a look at it, only to find out that it was all over

My sources told me to get my Thunderfury while I could since Ragnaros won't be in MC anymore, and it is doubtful that MC will remain. I was also under the impression that the other instances in Blackrock would be removed since they are adding some in there to replace them. Unfortunately, we won't know until launch, so it's anyone's guess.

I'm not sure a lot of the old world instances would even make sense after things change. I'm both a little sad and a little excited about all the change that should take place, but I'm betting we will get the least suitable solution: no changes to old instances that make no sense in the new zones.

From the press coverage stuff that came out a couple days back, you can already start to sense Blizzard is getting a little panicked about hitting the Christmas sales target of a late November launch.

The upcoming event that is on was on PTR is just the START of whats coming. You can read the following interview here >> http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/pc/games...taclysm/page1/

Gameplanet: Finally, what can you tell us about the launch event for Cataclysm?

Stockton: Oh, awesome! We’re planning a huge launch event. You remember the zombie plague? Yeah, so the same team that built that is working on the Cataclysm launch event, and you’re already seeing it beginning to play out now, with the stuff going on with the gnomes in Gnomeregan, and the trolls recapturing the Echo Isles. So they’ll both have completely new starting areas, and that’s the very beginnings of the world event, and it’ll play out all the way up to launch. And what’s happening with the Cataclysm, you’re seeing the elementals – when Deathwing breaches the elemental plane, he’s bringing the elementals with him, so what we’re looking at is doing something along the lines of an elemental invasion that infects Azeroth as a whole.

So there’s a bunch of details still to be figured out, but man, you’re gonna see something spectacular. If you take the Scourge invasion, imagine that, and then multiply it by ten – possibly in major cities! – and the way we want it to work is very similar to the way the plague worked, where we’d start it up a few weeks early, and then you’ll see a build up… build up… build up, and then in those last two or three days before we flip the switch, Azeroth will be in chaos, and any player who didn’t know the cataclysm was coming will definitely know something’s going on!

And thanks to Lyonheart that interview answers some of our questions:

Gameplanet: And those raids will still be tuned to their traditional levels?
Stockton: Exactly, so Molten Core will still be a level 60, 40-man raid – we’re not going to change that, even though you could probably do it with ten!

This is the incentive I need to go get the dungeonmaster achieves on both main teams this weekend.....

I still have 1 HoR to farm so all 4 shammies have one

Well I did find that blue post- it's just that I misinterpreted what was being asked by the OP. It was in the Cataclysm section but they were talking about the current MC loot table and how Earthfury Pauldrons are missing. Then a blue chimed in confirming they were missing but the Eye still drops etc...

So I guess no official word as of yet if original MC will still be there come Cataclysm.
