Default World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
