If you're a delinquent WoW cataclysm Gold player thinking about returning to play the forthcoming Warlords of Draenor expansion, you'll need to take action fast to ensure your name is not lost.

Blizzard entertainment has announced that players who haven't logged on to WoW Cataclysm Classic since November 13, 2008 will see their names taken off of their characters which will allow anyone to create a brand new character, or to use the free change in character name service to change their names.

But you can avoid this from occurring by accessing WoW Cataclysm Classic with every name of the character you wish to remain intact before the patch 6.0.2 is released. The patch is accessible on the game's public test realm, which indicates that it will be available soon.

As Blizzard mentions in an article on its blog It's possible that nobody will ever claim your name. But, according to the company, "It is probably not worth the risk if wish to keep your name in good standing for the long term."

It's possible to think that this is an espionage tactic to Blizzard to get players to come back in WoW Cataclysm Classic (subscriber figures aren't that great at the moment, after all) It's actually about allowing returning and new players to pick from a wider range of names, according to the company.

"Our purpose with this fantastic name release is to ensure that both the new and returning players have a wide and diverse selection of names to select among," the company writes. "So join now to save the names of your characters that you have not used for your adventure intro Draenor."

Warlords of Draenor launches November 13 on PC. This is the fifth expansion after The Burning Crusade (2007), Wrath of the Lich King (2008) and Cataclysm (2010) as well as Mists of Pandaria (2012).

Professor Says WoW Could Be A "Religious Experience"

For some players, playing the MMO WoW Cataclysm Classic can be an "religious experience" According to Manhattan College professor religious studies, Robert Geraci. In an Q&A published on the website of the college Geraci states that WoW Cataclysm Classic presents a virtual world that tests the ethics of a person's values. It also prompts players to consider issues like environmental concerns and moral dilemmas. Through these means, Geraci argues, WoW Cataclysm Classic can be a great way to being more than an entertainment.

"The issues of morality and right and wrong are present in the course of the play, involving both good and evil, naturally but also environmental concerns consumption, as well as other moral issues" Robert Geraci

"In WoW Cataclysm Classic, you have players who form communities and discuss ethical questions. These communities matter to players. The virtual friends are significant to them, even if they do not meet them in a real, physical real world setting," he says. "The dilemmas of morality and ethics are a constant theme in the course of play, involving the good and the evil obviously however, there are also environmental concerns as well as consumerism and other moral questions. There are a few ways in which cheap WoW cataclysm Gold provides a sort of religious experience."
