No. It's all the little things that make WoW so successful. It was the next generation game of its time. It was the only fantasy MMO of its generation (UO and EQ1 were out, but WoW was the next gen... even though I think UO and EQ1 were better). …
Slythe, this happens with every bad game release. Fanbois will defend it even after the bitter end (look at VG... that game was a flop, and people were still defending it months after release, kinda like Baghdad Bob after the invasion.)

But IMHP, people will rather buy WAR than WotLK especially if it will be $50 like TBC.
Maybe. But people fear change.…

As a counterpoint, there's nothing wrong with a developer picking a popular aspect of gameplay and striving to deliver the best product available for that market. I mean, when a new fighting game comes out on console you d…

3 - Monopoly (I'd be a slum lord)
4 - Mousetrap
5 - Life (Wouldn't that be the Sims?)

If I could vote (the 'vote' button never appears in these forums for me), I would say the subscriptions will increase due to WOTLK (this is not an option on your poll).
WoW is still the only product of it's kind on the market. All the followup gam…
I agree with the OP. The skill system is outstanding. And so are the large-scale PvP, the economy, and politics at end-game. Other than these things, the play style of this game is what makes it lame. (playing a ship instead of an avatar) You ca…
