Cataclysm Post-Mortem: Deepholm

[hide][/hide]
[hide]Alex Ziebart[/hide] and [hide]Mathew McCurley[/hide] (that’s me) decided to give each Cataclysm zone the once-over now that we’re many months out from the release of the expansion. In this post-mortem series, we’ll examine what worked and what didn’t work in terms of story, quests, and overall feel for the zones and the cool moments that dotted the landscape.

The Earthen Plane. [hide]Therazane’s domain[/hide]. The place where primordial rock and earth and stone were banished after the Titans subdued the elemental lords and their Old God masters. Deepholm is where Deathwing laid his broken body and waited, watched, heaved, and went mad. In the center of the mighty plane of earth stood the [hide]World Pillar[/hide], the only support keeping Deepholm from crashing into Azeroth itself. When Deathwing unleashed himself upon the world, the World Pillar shattered. Only through the tireless and diligent efforts of the Earthen Ring, shaman from all walks of life and races, could the tear in the Maelstrom be contained. Now flooded by members of the Twilight’s Hammer cult, a raging war between earthen and trogg, and the harshness of the Stonemother herself, the Horde and the Alliance must find a way to restore the World Pillar and save Azeroth from the very plane of earth it rests upon.

Deepholm was the first bottleneck zone after the two opening Cataclysm leveling experiences, Hyjal and Vashj’ir. Everyone passed through Deepholm on the way to 85, getting to experience one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring zones ever created for World of Warcraft. From the rocks that hung eerily in the air to the various factions and allegiances, Deepholm provided one of the most unique leveling experiences in World of Warcraft to date.[hide]Continue reading Cataclysm Post-Mortem: Deepholm[/hide]Filed under: [hide]Cataclysm[/hide][hide]Cataclysm Post-Mortem: Deepholm[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Thu, 04 Aug 2011 18:00:00 EST.
