World of Warcraft - Burning Crusade

hooo boy

Those Blood Elves all have green Jolly Ranchers for eyes.

Yes we will all start new characters and bring them to 70

don't lie to yourself

/me will contently watch from the sidelines.

Blizzard must be drowning in money at this point.

like 2 of the bloodelves new starting lands were leaked out a few months ago

looks cool but I think I'll holdout for Diablo 3 :roll:

To be really honest I feel like the colors and lighting in the bloodelves land didn't quite fit in too the WoW theme,.. but that could be just me.

Blizzard just love mugging the world.

Whats really interesting is how they're going to manage raising the level cap to 70... Seeing as that produces a high number of retard issues like

A level 60 who's grinded all the high level instances and has all epic+legendary gear can get owned by a level 70 with greens and greys..

You can basicly solo all now-existing raid instances when you're level 70.

You will have to quest again? but this time you have über gear (if you arent a complete retard without a decent guild who does raid instances).

Except when you reach level 70, you would want the new godlike equipment you can get that has level req 70. So basicly all that raiding in instancing has been a waste, since you gotta replace your gear now...

And thats just shit i came up with during the 5 minutes i made this post..

(oh btw, we did a guildrun in ZG, and did the whole instance in 5 hours.. pretty pro )

A 60 who has all his epic shit will have a huge headstart toward 70 over a new 60 who has very little. That's your reward for having spent so much time grinding the instances. So use it to your advantage, if you're quick enough to 70 most of the issues you outlined are unimportant. And once you hit 70 you can go back to grinding instances. Are you really complaining that they're offering you *more* to do in that godforsaken game?

The thing is, stuff like Zul Gurub, Blackwing Lair, and the new one in Silithis are extremely tough for 60's. These are like 20-40 man raids. When the cap raises to 70, you can probably run them with 5-10 players, and your badass gear you spent so long trying to get is now chump change...

you dont HAVE to buy it.

uh.. well it seems quite essential. theres lil point in keeping lvl 60 when most are going to reach for level 70 now

None of the expansions for MMO's are required, but you always fall behind in it when you don't get a expansion.

I never liked WOW and I would sure be pissed if they suddenly raised the level cap. But then again its a PVE game so I'm glad I quit in the beta

I'll just wait for W.A.R. (Warhammer online) because I enjoyed DAOC

RVR for 3 years

A Startrek MMO in the style of Eve Online might be interesting too.

Wouldn't the level cap be upped to 70 for everyone, without buying the addon pack? I know you can't offer all the new content to people who don't buy the pack, but surely something like that keeps things fair while the new content is enough incentive to buy the addon?

ZG isnt that tough...

And who would want to grind any of those linstances when all the drops are just level 60 req (as in crap for level 70's) Thats what im talking about...
