Nevertheless, we turned to Massively's Ryan Greene to explain why you might be interested, either if you're new to the game or simply looking for an excuse to return to Azeroth.</font></small>

Have you noticed a new excitement in the air? Have you felt the rumblings from the deep places of the world and tasted dread on the wind? Have you wondered why all your nerdiest friends planned months in advance to contract fake illnesses on the same day?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://joystiq.com/game/world-of-warcraft-cataclysm"><em>Cataclysm</em></a> has arrived, and <em>World of Warcraft</em> will never be the same ... which is the same cheesy line you've been hearing for weeks, if not months. <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/world-of-warcraft"><em>WoW's</em></a> third expansion is <a href="http://wow.joystiq.com/tag/countdown-to-cataclysm">huge news</a> for dedicated players, but what does it mean for everyone else? For anyone who has never tried <em>WoW</em> or who gave it up many moons ago, the changes <a href="http://www.wowpedia.org/Deathwing">Deathwing</a> hath wrought (with <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/blizzard/">Blizzard's</a> help) mean there has never been a better time to jump into the game.
