User:Aedror/Outland in Cataclysm
This page is for my ideas of how Blizzard should remake Outland (and the other TBC zones) for Cataclysm. I made these ideas because i found it strange that you start as a level 1 during Cataclysm, and then travels to Outland (pre-Cataclysm), then to Northrend (also pre-Cataclysm), and then back to the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor (Cataclysm). You are welcome to comment the ideas on the talk page.
