Not quite mutual destruction


Welcome back to The Queue, WoW.com’s daily Q&A column where the WoW.com team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Alex Ziebart will be your host today.

I want to kick off this edition of The Queue by thanking you guys for submitting your armories to the reboot of Pimp My Profile. Our first edition will be hitting this upcoming Wednesday. In an ideal world, we’ll have one for you every single Wednesday after that.

On to the Q&A!Yes, everything will change around you, just like what happens when they do content patches. If you were still questing in Icecrown when they patched in the Argent Tournament, those terrain changes happened no matter what. The terrain will still change, whatever quest chains Blizzard decides to redo in Cataclysm will change.

You won’t magically be level 60 or 70, no. They’re not getting rid of old Azeroth, they’re revamping and rebuilding it. From a story standpoint, if you’re a level 19 questing in The Barrens when the Cataclysm happens… well, the world explodes around your level 19 butt, and now you’re dealing with the fallout of the Cataclysm instead of slaughtering zhevras for their nonexistent hooves.

RogueJedi86 asked…

“Why were the Dragonflight Aspects created/assigned if they can be killed with no repercussions whatsoever? Killing Malygos didn’t do so much as give Mages a nosebleed, despite being the Custodian of Magic. And I doubt killing Deathwing will do anything to the earth either.”

They’re basically guardians and watchers, not the source of whatever power they hold. Malygos was not the source and center of magic. He was a dragon that was given incredible magic power and tasked with watching over that part of the world. Malygos dying doesn’t mean there’s no magic, it just means the Titan-assigned warden of magic is no longer warding it.

Michael wales asked…

“If the classic zones are changing for everyone, what happens to those of us who are still leveling in those zones? Will our entire quest line change, will NPCs just be moved slightly so they aren’t standing in the middle of a lava pit? Are we just screwed out of the early story lines and we’ll magically be a level 60-70 working on WotLK content (which I don’t have yet either)?”
