Gallery: We love a big shiny box here at Atomic, and the Cataclysm Collector's Edition is one big shiny box!

I'm being very strong. I'm not rushing home to get Cataclysm installing, or sitting at my desk drooling over the contents of the Collector's Edition that Blizzard was so nice to send through to us today.

No, what we're doing is writing about it, and sharing that same Edition with you, dear Atomicans. We hope you appreciate the sacrifice.

In all honesty, we didn't expect to be so excited by Cataclsym, but even the pre-launch patch is full of awesome changes. From the new starting areas and quest lines, to the impressive graphics improvements and new talent system, World of Warcraft's become a whole new game.

Anyway, if you too are waiting patiently for home time, assuage your angst with our Collecter's Edition gallery.

Just to point out a little niggle. Shouldn't you censor personal stuff, like your address and the keys on the guest passes?

As to the guest passes, doubt I'll be doing anything with them.

WoW ceased being a decent type of RPG long ago its just EQ2 with crappy graphics and EQ2 has Crappy graphics, its now like some extended Social network you pay for and the Alcohol is BYO sounds boring.

I loved the initial game of World of Warcraft. I had a good guild, we owned Molten core, Black wing lair and AQ and i had awesome gear =D. I skipped BC and played WOTLK up to level 80, cleared all the raids and then decided that well...

"I'm just not that into it"

I just loved vanilla WOW, only the best players had epics and all the quests had a great story line. It was
just a more involving experience.

Cataclysm sounds like great fun, but now i'm a family man so raiding wouldn't be viable and thats all i enjoyed about WOTLK. Bring on Diablo 3 :)
