Cata

Which WoW expansion is WotLK?

Cataclysm

Cataclysm (cata) is the third expansion to World of Warcraft (WoW), a popular (MMORPG) franchise that debuted in 2004. Cata's plot revolves around the return of Deathwing the Destroyer, an evil dragon, and introduces several features to WoW, including two new character races (Goblins and Worgens) and the revamp of old worlds and character talents.
