Another week and more Cataclysm content being turned out from Blizzard. This time a look at the Southern Barrens which has been extensively remodeled due to the destruction that Deathwing has brought upon the land of Azeroth.
For our ongoing coverage of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, we recently sat down with game designers Dave Kosak and Roman Marotte to ask them about the work they've done on the Southern Barrens, a once-familiar place drastically altered by Deathwing's return and the continuing struggle between the Horde and the Alliance.
Check out the new Q&A on the Cataclysm site now!
If you have ever played a Horde character, you have gotten extremely familiar with the Barrens. The Barrens, both north and south are a very hectic and busy place for the Horde since so many of thier races end up questing there. Also the zone is just so big and covers such a large range of levels that once you get there it seems like you are there forever.
In Cataclysm the zone is being split in two, and much of the landscape is going to change drastically.
Check out what Blizzard reveals about the new zone configuration in their Q&A.
