What makes this a particularly cool idea, from my perspective is that World of Warcraft is soon to come across a huge change in the form of an expansion pack called WoW Cataclysm.

Cataclysm is going to reshape the entire World of Warcraft geography, and the world will never return to how it was… How is that cool, you ask?

Well, I personally have a lot of fond memories of leveling up toons in the classic WoW world… Darkshire, Westfall, The Barrens… all these great places where you first came to and enjoyed World of Warcraft. So because of that, I’d love a momento of sorts of the world as it once was, with notes and explanations of what was going on there, what there is to see and do… that kind of stuff.

Because when Cataclysm comes out, there won’t be such an easy reference to the world, and of course this atlas will stop being published in favor of a new Cataclysm atlas.

So if you think a friend or partner who has been a long term WoW fan might enjoy a piece of history to reminisce about the “good old days”, I reckon the WoW atlas would be a totally awesome gift.

The atlas is also just plain beautiful. The maps are all high quality artwork in true Blizzard style, and you’ll find your friend will appreciate it much more than things like the cloth maps you get from collectors editions in most games.

You can buy the WoW Atlas, 2nd edition at Amazon.com.
