However, Cataclysm did mark a turning point in Activision-Blizzard’s philosophy with WoW. Some fans thought that the streamlined quests were much needed, others felt it ruined the “challenge.” For better or for worse, Cataclysm was a landmark expansion and success for Activision-Blizzard.
What expansion should I start with WoW?
If you’re a new player, we recommend starting with Legion, as it’s often praised as the best World of Warcraft expansion of the 2010s.
Do you need all the World of Warcraft expansions?
Top Voted Answer Yes, you need all expansions. You cannot go from the original ‘Vanilla’ WoW to Cataclysm. You can buy them all (I believe at least the first two) in a cheaper Battle Chest.
Is it possible to install cataclysm without wrath?
It is not possible to install Cataclysm without Wrath, or Wrath without Burning Crusade. After realease of BFA datadisk you need ONLY the newest datadisk and subscription. For example when you create new account, you will play first 20 level for free.
Do you have to have the Burning Crusade to get cataclysm?
To reach level 70, you will need The Burning Crusade, level 80 requires Wrath of the Lich King, and Cataclysm unlocks level 85. Each subsequent expansion requires that you have the prior ones. It is not possible to install Cataclysm without Wrath, or Wrath without Burning Crusade. Hmm, that sucks if we lack so many races.
How old do you have to be to play cataclysm?
You get level 78-85 Cataclysm content. You get level 85-90 Mists of Pandaria content. You get all classes including Monk. You do have to start from level 1 and level all the way through all the content (except for DeathKnight which starts at level 55). Warlords of Draenor is also available. If you buy that…
Do you have to have World of Warcraft to play all expansions?
It requires a prior purchase of World of Warcraft (“base”), which includes all previous expansions (WoD, MoP, Cata, WotLK, TBC, and Vanilla). This trend has continued since at least MoP where all prior expansions to the current one are included in “World of Warcraft” or the “base” game.

Do you have to play all expansions in order?
Not necessary to be mandatory like in FFXIV, but at least allow those who want it to play in order. So for example if I want to play BFA content in order 8.2 quests will be hidden until finish quests from 8.1.5, and so on. And the same for old expansions.
