actually they are going to do just that, they will remove about half of the current stats to make things easierffs-dontcare said:

imo the game has gotten too easy to be any real fun anymore. I remember when you had to actually use cc in dungs. Now it's just all aoe tanking god that's boring!
That could be because expansions inherently discourage new players, they're more required initial investment for a game they may not like, but they do still require them if they want to see because if they don't like it early on people will just say it gets better later.Audio said:
The expansion seems to me like they're simply making WoW 2 but scrapping WoW 1 in the process, but making it cost significantly more.
Of course I'm of the pinion that if you are paying a subscription fee that the content updates should be free and expansions should be limited to games with no subscription fee, so I guess I'm of the opinion it will make it worse.
basing that on this?Xzi said:
"Now what is trivial when your subscriber numbers are approaching 12 million? 100,000 might be trivial. So might be 50,000. That's still a lot ? but even if there are 100,000 multi-boxers, it's still less than 1% of the total population."
first thats a blog, he could just make up that number, where's a link to the facts of this hm? placing the burden of proof on you cause i cba to find my 7 million number
why wouldnt it go down ? it always goes down in the wait for a next expansion
That's stuff sound awesome. I...I'm going to start WoW. Once I get a steady income. The cost is nothin' much. I spend that much on Netflix, and don't use that.Cheveyo said:
I hope so. I certainly think I'll be playing this again once Cataclysm hits. Love to lvl up a Goblin.
How exactly will it screw up the story?sir mate said:
I don't think they will replace the game world, I think Cataclysm will kick in when players reach a certain level, in the same way as Outland is geared for lvl 58 players upwards.
I expect there to be some kind of in game event leading up to the expansion and perhaps some areas will change forever (ala Eastern Kingdoms) but I would think the starter areas will remain the same.
I think it will improve wow, not too sure what it will do for lower levels other than split the barrens in half and add a couple races. Personally I'm looking forward to the level cap increase the most, although it's odd that it's only increasing by 5 but w/e. Mainly because I have a level 80 and when the expansion hits I can level like a madman and enter endgame content as its still being explored as opposed to entering it after people have already beaten everything and gotten the best gear. Unfortunately I do think this may be WoW's last expansion, as I feel there's a good chance WoW is going the way of EQ2 halfway to the next expansion(IE:Suicide by patch). I do see alliance getting a lot better at PVP in the future too, because I know a lot of horde who are eager to make worgen.
Improve? Hell yes! Its hard to say it wont improve the game.
Classes are finally reaching the point where there's a point, a means, and a method to playing all of their classes.
The story is finally going somewhere now that Blizzard axed someone even they admitted they don't like (Hint: Blizzard kills boring, one dimensional characters. It gets more vague with characters they actually like) and are finally reconnecting lore arcs that had been left hanging since WC3 and even earlier.
If they keep the quality of interaction from WOTLK it'll be golden. Personally I'm on the fence in regards to whether I'll get it or not, but that's purely on the point that I've been playing the damn game for almost five years now.

I just recently quit the game, finding too much of the Wrath stuff quickly repetitive. However, when I quit, it came with the caveat I know a lot of WoW-quitters have said. "I am quitting, until Cataclysm." A lot of that no doubt comes from the changes that are inbound, that at least on the surface, promise to improve the game for just about everyone. That is, everyone except people who just love spreadsheets.
No. This was explained at blizzcon among other places. Old world is being completely scrapped and the new one is being laid down in its place. So when you start off you jump into the new world immediately. This effect comes with patch 4.0. Its free and for all players regardless if you have any of the expansions or not.Entropyutd said:
The problem with story people are talking about is that once you hit 58 and go to outland you are ported a couple years back in the story, then head to northrend which is a year ago, then back to the current times.
Its a hiccup in time so to speak, time is flowing forward in one place but not for the other two areas.
OT: My account is canceled till 4.0 drops. Ill probably pick up cata as well but I'm not an end game player and once i see all the new areas i will likely cancel my account again.
