Which instances/raids are disappearing in Cataclysm?

[MiRai]

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

Kael was in both TK and MGT at the same time during BC, which means, Ragnaros could be in Molten Core and The Firelands at the same time...I guess anything is possible. It'd make a lot more sense if they just did away with MC though. /shrug

***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...

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!

Great news Lyon!! Appreciate the info bro!

Well that's exciting- I was there for the scourge event, opening of the dark portal, etc etc... those were great!

So ready for Cataclysm already- I don't even care at this point rofl... If things have to be cut to get it out more timely no problem with me. They can always add it later on.

I loved BRD for boxing. Endless mobs in nice little groups of 4-5 at a time. It was possible to do an entire level in there without leaving. My progression from 20-55 is SM, ZF, BRD, LBRS, done. I'd hate to see some of these better grinding dungeons go.
