I have never gotten a blue to respond to any of my threads, but I would really like to hear how Outland ties into Cataclysm, or at least get someone responding who mentions that they have thought about the flow of things..

When Cataclysm comes out, if you start a new character, you will be in Azeroth seeing what has transpired and of course you want to do something about it. You get involved in a story about how Azeroth is in danger. You level 1 to 58 or 60 in this new world and suddenly...

You go off to Outland and leave all of this behind and "take a break" not because the story goes this direction, but because you have to level.

Then you come back to Azeroth..

This seems disjointed to me. Have the developers taken into consideration about offering a smooth transition to Outland and back?
