The suspicion seems to confirm that we are dealing with the brand name "Cataclysm" for the next World of Warcraft addon.

In February 2010, a more novel (to appear Stormrage WoW), the story may be preparing to do so.

World of Warcraft game director Tom Chilton said that:

VideoGamer.com: The first expansion was set in Outland, the second in Northrend, which was a little closer to home. Foreign Is there anywhere else left on the original map that can accommodate to expansion or does it have to be somewhere?

TC: No. I do not think it has to be completely foreign anywhere yet. There are parts of the map that we have left ambiguous and unexplored. There are parts of Eastern Kingdoms, Azeroth, and that have not been filled out yet. Out there in the South Seas there are islands, there's out where the Maelstrom is.

There's still quite a bit of land mass. We keep referring to the Emerald Dream, which is maybe not exactly in Azeroth, but is sort of tied to it in some way or another. But there are definitely places in Azeroth itself that are close to home that have not been filled out yet, so there's more room for that sort of thing.

Especially the "Maelstrom" plays a central role, as he said in the Cataclysm (10,000 years before the current WoW has arisen the present).

This could mean, then, that they announce the WoW addon at BlizzCon. It is necessary for Diablo 3, however, erstmal have no negative consequences, since it is already at the announcement out. Careful observers of BlizzCon do know is that Blizzard distributes annually a beta key to every visitor. So, this should be in this year, either of the Diablo 3 -, or even the WoW addon Key.
