Blizzard files trademark for 'Cataclysm'

The identity of
Blizzard's unannounced MMO project may have just been revealed. Anonymous gaming news bloodhound
superannuation recently uncovered a trio of trademarks from the MMO juggernaut, reserving the name "Cataclysm" for use in the fields of
computer games,
online games and
paper-based products. We assume that last one doesn't mean Blizzard's dealing in Cataclysm-branded stationary.
Our acronym-infused sister site WoW.com reminded us of a very important point -- not all Blizzard trademarks turn into actual games (isn't that right,
StarCraft: Ghost?). However, they also noticed that the domain name wowcataclysm.com recently expired and is now held by GoDaddy -- who handles all of Blizzard's domains. It looks like Big Blizz is up to something -- but we might have to wait till BlizzCon to find out
what that something is.
