Blizzard Entertainment's Rob Pardo revealed the planned features for Battle.net 2.0, which will launch in 2010 with StarCraft II and be incorporated into World of WarCraft. The biggest change is the introduction of what Blizzard is calling "Real ID" that should eliminate "smurfing" accounts and ensure better matchmaking. Games will be tied to a specific account much like Steam or other digital distribution services. Battle.net 2.0 will be free, however.

Pardo believes that the new matchmaking system is more powerful than Microsoft's TrueSkill and when paired with Real ID, it should help players of all skill levels get into games that they have a chance to win. On this point, the ladder system has been improved to take player skill into account. After a player completes around 10 games, they will be placed into a skill tier. Within each skill tier, the player is matched up with 99 other players in 100 player divisions. The focus of the season is on competing with these 99 other players with tournaments taking place at the end of each season between division leaders.

Worldofwar.net has released a handful of articles in the past weeks revealing known lore of the South Seas, and analyzing how the World of Warcraft MMORPG's storylines, novels and manga have been leaving hints and breadcrumbs toward what the recent Cataclysm trademark might mean.

This time, WorldofWar.net adds a bit of lore from the World of Warcraft ongoing comic book series by Wildstorm that might shed some light about an upcoming catastrophe and a prophecy mentioned in the comic book.

Cho'gall and his Twilight's Hammer Clan serve the Old god C'thun who isn't completely dead. They want the son of Medivh the Last Guardian and Garona for a plan that will bring destruction to the world of Azeroth. Ulduar and the Hall of Lightning show a hologram of the world of Azeroth in which Kalimdor is broken in half and sundered underwater-- as shown in the image above.

Sounds like a big Cataclysm will soon shake the foundations of our favorite MMORPG.
