With today's beta patch, Blizzard has enabled the usage of addons in the Cataclysm beta. So this is a reminder that when you have your addon ready for beta testing in the expansion, upload it to our Cataclysm Beta download category and then be sure to check back in our Cataclysm Beta forum for possible feedback.

Also, if you are an author and haven't already done so, be sure to check and see if you are eligible to sign up for our beta key give-away.

[Edit] We have added a Cataclysm [beta] Addon Only New & Updated listing to the Community Tab. It has an RSS feed as well. As well, we've put together our Survival Guide for Cataclysm. ~ 7 Sept 10

You may have noticed that some changes have been made to the forums. We have been meaning to do some Spring Cleaning for some time now, and we finally started working on it over the weekend. The forum list has been rearranged, some have had their names and descriptions changed, some have been merged together, and new ones have even been added! We are still in the process of moving existing threads, if applicable.

What does this mean for you? Well, for starters, you may have to look closer at the forums before creating a new topic. The forum you are looking for may have moved or changed names. For example, the "Interface Help" forum is now named "AddOn Help/Support" and is located a little further down the page.

There also may be a new forum that better suits your question! We realize that many people in our community enjoy using these forums for more than just talk about AddOns. Some of our new forums include "Tech Chat", "Macro Help", and there is an entire new section devoted to other WoW subjects such as Quests and Raids.

So have a look through our new forums! See what's new, see what's changed, and start posting!

IRVINE, Calif. – June 30, 2010 – Blizzard Entertainment announced today that the closed beta test for Cataclysm™, its highly anticipated new expansion for World of Warcraft®, has begun. The company has started issuing invitations to participate in the testing process to a wide range of players from around the world who signed up via their Battle.net® accounts. While enjoying an early look at the game, beta testers will provide valuable feedback to help Blizzard Entertainment find bugs, address balance issues, and polish the new content.

"Our focus with Cataclysm has been to build on the knowledge we've gained through the previous expansions to deliver the best, most compelling World of Warcraft content for our players to date," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "Gathering focused feedback during the beta test will go a long way in helping us reach that goal when we launch Cataclysm later this year."

Cataclysm is the third expansion for World of Warcraft, the most popular subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game in the world. The first two expansions, The Burning Crusade®and Wrath of the Lich King®, each shattered PC game sales records upon their release. In Cataclysm, the face of Azeroth will be forever altered by the return of the corrupted Dragon Aspect Deathwing. Players will explore once-familiar areas of the world that have now been reshaped by the devastation and filled with new adventures. In an effort to survive the planet-shattering cataclysm, two new playable races -- worgen and goblins -- will join the struggle between the Alliance and the Horde. As players journey to the new level cap of 85, they'll discover newly revealed locations, acquire new levels of power, and come face to face with Deathwing in a battle to determine the fate of the world.
