You can now begin your pre-orders by heading to Batte.net. Take note that only the standard edition of the Cata expansion is available. If what you’re after is the collector’s edition, you need to do a little waiting. This is open to all players in Americas, Australia, Europe, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia. Go on, go digital now!

Kicking the challenge factor several notches up, 1.1 presents the new Injury System, putting greater risk to those players engaged in more difficult missions. This then leads us to the Difficulty Slider, a tool for players to choose the level of difficulty when accepting a mission. Three options are given: Normal, Advanced and Elite.

Updates do not end there, however. You will also be seeing several additions to the C-Store namely the Maelstrom, Federation Pakled and the Klingon Bridge Pack III.

Even more impressive―perhaps more to the amount of buzz it has generated rather than its stunning features―is the Celestial Steed ($25), a supernatural warhorse designed to function as a flying mount. Its travel speed is up to 310%, given that you already have a mount with the exact same speed.
