I stumbled across this as I was looking for a Blood Mage picture to suit my Halloween costume.

Discuss.

First - WoW
First Expansion - The Burning Crusade
Second Expansion - Wrath of the Lich King
Third Expansion - Cataclysm

lol, kind of absurd I think. I don't know a whole lot about the over all story of WoW, but my roommates seem to know more about it than me and all I hear them complain about is how they're randomly resurrecting some boss from waaaaaaay back in the day or something. Also, the only change i was glad about hearing with this is that you can use flying mounts in azeroth now instead of in outlands and where ever the WotLK added. I originally hoped that you could fly in azeroth from BC, but you couldn't. Also, I hear that to continue playing WoW, that Cataclysm is a required update since it majorly changes azeroth to like wastelands and shit or something. I can't even imagine how long that'll all take to install and update if you're still on BC. ( i stopped like a month before WotLK released. ) Also, i would imagine that all the easteregg places that people originally would climb to are now accessible through flying mounts. I remember hearing about a developer egg that was like a spirit healer somewhere random outside of the game's boundaries with a marker to pay tribute to someone on the team that died or something. I would assume you could get there now with a flying mount or they might remove it so it doesnt become overly populated and what-not. Idk. Kinda crazy, but i though blizzard already ran out of WoW ideas.

You can never run out of ideas when you're making moniez out of it.

Lazer Ki · October 11, 2009, 07:11:01 PM

Especially if it's an MMORPG.

shadowdude · October 11, 2009, 08:00:55 PM

I'm actually looking forward to it.
Will be nice to be back on the original continents again.
And from what i hear they are making it so you can't fly everywhere, like they did in Outland and Northrend. And they aren't just randomly resurrecting the boss as I'm sure they will find a way for it to tie into the storyline somehow.
But yeah, kinda looking forward to this

I still think Worgen is the most retarded race choice ever. I think I'm going to wait until they're done expanding on it before I get back into WoW though. Makes more sense that way to me.

Have fun waiting forever.

EvilM00s · October 12, 2009, 03:41:33 AM

I am really unhappy about it. Not only do I HAVE to buy a new program, but all the places I loved going to are ruined and funky. I like it the way it is! They're gonna ruin my happy little world! Blizzard can kiss my ass, I don't like it. And as a guildmaster, how many guidies am I gonna lose cuz they don't want to buy another expansion? I think it sucks.

Redwyn · October 12, 2009, 03:48:39 AM

Actually, I like the Worgen. Too bad they can't replace it with the shitty ass faggot weakling goblins that the Horde get - Not even the good goblins - FARMER goblins.

Fuck WoW, 5 years of my life wasted on a never ending vicious cycle of fucking people over with stupid shit.

Oh, and fuck the storyline. The "boss" they are resurrecting? No, fuck you, it is not a BOSS from the shitty ass WoW "storyline", it is in fact a very powerful dragon called Deathwing who was the most feared dragon and it took Alexstrazia and her brood to even bring him down. This bullshit they have now of bringing him back is fucking retarded.

Sorry about the massive amounts of fucks and rages, but I despise what they have done ever since Burning Crusade came out.

EvilM00s · October 12, 2009, 04:55:58 AM

And another thing! I haven't even gotten to WotLK content, how the heck am I gonna know the difference now?

Grafikal · October 12, 2009, 05:22:35 AM

I thought you were a guild leader :X

EvilM00s · October 12, 2009, 05:39:19 AM

I am. Oh, the low level... yeah, it's a young guild. Nobody over L38 yet. I thought it would be fun and I guess 10 people agreed.

Grafikal · October 12, 2009, 05:54:41 AM

Ohhh. Sorry, I just assume that a guild leader means automatically lvl80 and endgame etc. Considering I never played WotLK, I was end game in BC. I was the actual guild leader, but there were 3 members including myself that made up like a council in our guild. We were all just really high ranking officers and also friends of mine. The 3 of us made the decisions and stuff. I just happened to be the one that could disband the guild if I had wanted to. I played end game too long

EvilM00s · October 12, 2009, 07:44:44 AM

Sounds laid back. That's kinda the point with our guild, too. A RP guild for lower level guys who want to build a guild nice and slow from the ground up. Oh yeah, we're all forsaken. I thought it would be a nice change from all the "let's pwn every1 NOW" guilds.

I figured you'd hate the Worgen too, since they make absolutely no sense in the "lore." I've been saying furbolg furbolg furbolg ever since I started playing. They're already friends with the night elves, and they're intelligent enough to speak Common. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

tSwitch · October 12, 2009, 03:20:33 PM

Worgen were humans who thought they were better than everyone else so left the alliance, then got cursed and crawled back like cowards. It makes sense with the lore. As far as goblins go, I know some people that have been wanting to be gobs since vanilla, so they're excited about it.

I'd explain Nelfarion/Deathwing's story in more detail than Redwyn's rage attempted, but I don't want to bore people any more than I might have already.

Also, As far as buying a new program, you don't have to. Expansions aren't required to get the latest patch so that your game system is up to date, and when cataclysm comes out you'll just patch and the world will look different, you just won't be able to access the new areas, the new races, or the new level cap. In other words, nobody is still playing "in BC" because everyone has system patch up to 3.2.whatever. It's just that they can't see/do everything without the expansion packs installed.

Lazer Ki · October 12, 2009, 03:40:13 PM

I still don't know why I posted this because I don't even play WoW x.x

tSwitch · October 12, 2009, 03:42:37 PM

yeah it's been news for a while too, I've had to listen to people bitching constantly ever since Blizz revealed it at BlizzCon this year. I'm reserving judgment until I can actually get my hands on a copy and see what's up.

EvilM00s · October 15, 2009, 01:53:45 AM

Meh, I guess I'll try it out before I give up on it. I just read that I have to convert my WoW account to a Battle.Net account, I wonder what's up with that. Doesn't sound bad or anything, just curious as to why. I suppose I'll see once I have time to actually do it.

Sophist · October 15, 2009, 01:59:06 AM

Honestly, i'm just excited about Goblins, Flying Mounts in Azeroth and the class changes, pretty much all of them, especially Human Hunters.

The rest of it I could care less about.

it's more secure.
Blizzard is trying to stem the flow of hack incidents.

EvilM00s · October 15, 2009, 02:09:49 AM

Ah. In that case, I'm all for it.

SirJackRex · October 15, 2009, 02:22:33 AM

How will that work for private servers?
I never could get into the WoW story, either it was never made accessible enough or I just ignored it I do not know.
However I really like the story that goes along with the Warcraft 2 missions, it's not much but it makes you feel as if you're fighting for something. WCIII's was pretty good too, but none of them were anything to write home about.

Goblin is a race I always wanted because they're sooooo much fun. So it's really cool that they're finally making them playable.
I do agree that it's kind of strange that they're revamping the world.

EvilM00s · October 15, 2009, 02:44:19 AM

Yeah, I can't wait to hear some goblin voice emotes!

Private servers are illegal, so I can't see Blizzard doing anything to make it easier on them.

WCIII had a great story imo, and if you pay attention to main quest lines and instances and stuff in WoW you can get bits of story, but they really don't push it very much.

as far as it being strange that they're revamping things; I really don't agree. Old Azeroth has become somewhat of a ghost town. Content that people use and then leave, it's stagnant and boring, and has been for years. I like that they're making the old world part of endgame as much as outland and northrend are, it brings things full circle, and gives the population of the game more area to explore and interact with, rather than keeping most of the level 80's in a capital city and on a single continent with no content for them elsewhere. I feel it's a step in the right direction.

That, and they're revamping a lot of the game's core systems as well. Cataclysm is less of just another expansion, and more of a WoW version 2.0. Hell they're going to have to redo almost every piece of armor in the game, every single class talent tree, probably a shitload of skills, it'll be like playing a brand new game once Cataclysm occurs.

Oh yeah, and I can't wait to see the barrens burn. I always hated the barrens.
