Considering that AoC died and WAR will be neutered (and GW...no), it appears that WotLK will be the only viable MMO left.

However, it does look like Blizzard learned from the mistake that was Arenas.

(of course, I will be in college, so the point is moot.)

Or, we could all just play some good games instead of MMOs.

AOC was never alive.

I dont follow war ... what do you mean, neutered?

There are some small profile names comming thou ... Spellborne, if they dont push release by one year again.

Malice Black · Aug 03, 2008, 05:31 PM // 17:31

I'll buy WAR, but I don't have high hopes for it. AoC was just...shocking. GW is MSN with pictures. Aion will be grindx1000

They removed 4 melee classes and 4 capital cities in order to meet the release date.

Guess i'll go over to fps's for a bit more...

May even try out WoW again, but maybe not seeing as uni's on the horizon.

This gives me time to beat Command & Conquer 3 on Brutal, also Rainbow 6 Vegas: 2 on Realistic... and Devil May Cry 4 on Dante Must Die.... I have so much to do....

Malice Black · Aug 03, 2008, 05:41 PM // 17:41

Complete games?! I've yet to complete one. I get bored and it then sits on the shelf collecting dust.

Arkantos · Aug 03, 2008, 05:42 PM // 17:42

I'd get WotLK, but I can't stand the leveling in WoW. Playing in low levels is boring as hell, which is why I play on private servers. Pretty sad about WAR, was looking forward to it.

Oh well, I'll continue playing D2. At least Blizzard know how to make good games.

They will probably make leveling pathetically easy when WotLK is release (moreso than it is now). They have to keep up with the fact that there will be instant lv. 55 Death Knights.

Arkantos · Aug 03, 2008, 05:50 PM // 17:50

Leveling is already pathetically easy, just extremely boring. I'd rather be owning somewhat challenging shit with good gear. And ganking idiots with a feral druid.

They increased leveling speed a lot. Nowadays you generally outlevel area before you complete half of quests there.

Mounts (aka, bandaid for lack of map travel) are accessible much earlier. And some skills train faster.

It's still mind numbingly unberable for me thou, but i am generally grind intolerant.

Arkantos · Aug 03, 2008, 06:09 PM // 18:09

I know, leveling is faster, mounts are accessible at level 30 with lower gold price. I was playing last month. Doesn't change the fact that it's boring, though.

Anarkii · Aug 03, 2008, 06:27 PM // 18:27

Leveling a new character is indeed boring, but there are a ton of extremely awesome changes in WotLK. People who hate WoW probably won't bother anyway, but for people like me who are simply tired of the game, its everything we hoped for.

Arkantos · Aug 03, 2008, 07:03 PM // 19:03

What exactly are some of these changes? Haven't really been paying much attention.

-Achievements System
-Barber Shop
-level 80
-more talents
-bigger numbers
-a new class that is flashy as hell just to make all the blood elf tards play it (seriously, Death and Decay summons a gigantic laser from the sky, why again?)
-a new profession that will be imba
-making Alchemy suck and soloing harder by introducing Potion Sickness so people play the said above profession
-OMG YOU CAN FACE ARTHAS!11!11!!!!!

that's about it.

EDIT:
Sorry, forgot the slow Siege Weapons you can control. Watch out there.

EDIT EDIT:
Oh yeah, and a Calendar too.

Anarkii · Aug 03, 2008, 07:18 PM // 19:18

Too many to list down here. http://www.wotlkwiki.info/index.php/Main_Page has all the particulars on all the changes in WotLK. Complete class, profession and mechanics overhauls and serious 10man progression paths etc

Persian Daddy · Aug 03, 2008, 07:26 PM // 19:26

leveling is barely even like....1/3 of the entire game in wow though..endgame content, arenas bgs raids, is the real game
ive talked to so many people who say that wow is boring and i ask what level they got to and they tell me 20 >.<

oh yeah and pallys are so op lol
so are shadowdance rogues

Anarkii · Aug 03, 2008, 07:32 PM // 19:32

A lot of people simply get bored before that heh.

Leveling has never consciously been a part of the game for me. After TBC launched for example, most raiding guilds including mine had a 'do whatever for 2 weeks, we'll start raiding on Feb 1' goal, and that is when the game started for us.

My /played on max levels is about 20 times more than time spent leveling.

Zinger314 · Aug 03, 2008, 07:44 PM // 19:44

The new talents and 51 point talents are utterly insane for some classes.

If I were going to go back to WoW, I'd make a Paladin, definately.
