World-of-warcraft – What comes on the World of Warcraft Cataclysm DVD

world of warcraft

Does the Cataclysm Expansion Pack DVD will contain all the content from the Original, Burning Crusade, and Wrath of the Lich King. If it does, is there any requirements to download anything before the 4.0.1 patch. Understandably, there will be required patches for any version later than 4.0.1.

The Wrath of the Lich King DVD came with all the content of the past on the disk. There was no need to download anything before 3.0.

Yes the account will need to have the access/keys to all of the versions. Which is the case for my accounts.

Please post a reference link along with your answer if possible.

If you are starting from scratch and no patches, then the Cataclysm DVD should bring you up to 4.0.3a. They sent out many Warnings not to install the previous games on top of patch 4.x, so it stands to reason that they would just give you the full game on Cataclysm as they have in the past. However there is a topic over at mmo-champion indicating that the game client might try to download the BC and Wrath data over the internet, so hopefully that is not a problem.
