Not really you just have to stick to Northrend until level 78-80.
Yes, you can start from level 1 and go right through to level 85 however, you will need to download the other 3 games first World of Warcraft then World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, then World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King and finally Cataclysm.
You must have Cataclysm to get archeology, if you do have Cataclysm then talk to a guard in any major city, then just get it from the trainer.

yeah when you finish a level
when cataclysm is released, the geography of the original game will change permanently. this means that even if you don't purchase the expansion you'll still be able to see the changes. however, you will not be able to use any new content that comes out with cataclysm, such as the two new races (worgen and goblin)
Catastrophe, visitation, cataclysm. any synonym of Disaster would do.
You can get a Trial version of WoW, which will allow you to play the revamped "old world" just as it is during Cataclysm. However, you will not be able to level very far or reach any of the content for which you need the expansion packs.
Sea level is the same at all places in North America. Choose any beach.
Officially, you will need to purchase Cataclysm in order to learn the ability to fly in Kalimdor and Azeroth. However, there seemes to be a loophole that if you try the Cataclysm trial and learn this ability, it will stay learned even if you do not buy Cataclysm itself. This of course is in itself a bug, and any abuse of it may be punished or reverted by Blizzard - if it hasn't been already.
I am certain that Voyager1 and Voyager2 in the '70s.
Currently (3/24/2010) there is very little information on the guild ranking system for Cataclysm. There is simply not enough information to make any sort of meaningful comment.
When World of Warcraft: Cataclysm hits the shelves and goes live on the servers, it will be the LATEST expansion. There are more planned, however Blizzard has not released any information about those expansion as of yet. It will be sometime before the next one is ready.
