Wrath of the Lich King is an "entirely different theme" within the world of Warcraft's lore (just as you'd say CoD5 was different within the 'lore' of various wars- from modern to WWII) and has an entire new "single-player campaign" in the form of 1000's of new quests/'mission's and tons of new dungeons and raids- as I said in terms of actual content WotLK is probably bigger than Call of Duty 5. "Only adding 10 levels" just shows your extreme lack of understanding... raising the level cap is merely a means to advance characters to the point where they can begin to play through the oodles of new stuff. Although, the actual process of getting from lvl70-80 probably constitutes as many hours of gameplay as CoD5 does in total, which is quite ironic considering level80 is just the start of what this game has in terms of content to play through.Cheez wrote:

Thpbpbpbpb.
People counted CoD: WAW as a new release even though it was a reskinned CoD4 didn't they? UO's sales figures were separate to CoD1... etc.
Woopty doo, that's an impressive feat for the army of valium-doped ADHD kids that enjoy playing Halo. However, bear in mind that Wrath of the Lich King hasn't even launched in China yet. WoW-CHN is fucking huge, like unimaginably huge. You've seen those crazy Koreans playing Starcraft, now imagine that on an Asian scale. When WotLK launches in China it's just going to further put this game on the record-books, shattering everything. The floodgates will open to a continent where farming in-game Warcraft gold is a self-respecting marketplace. Crazy azns.NeXus wrote:

Easy argument, easier to refute. I don't play, I'm just sick of you and the shit of the gamer community acting like babies over this. Are some people way too in to the game? Yes, but that's the exact same case for all other games and genres. It's more evident for the simple fact that more people play WoW, the exact same reason any stereotype against a popular community falls apart.TheAussieReaper wrote:

By your logic, anyone who buys more than one new PC/console game every 3-4 months is a "tard"...specialistx2324 wrote:

It's not so much the monthly payment, just what it adds up to. $15 a month for 12 months is $180. $180 can buy a lot of things.Uzique wrote:

Why does it always boil down to pitiful amounts of money for you whino's? Are mommy and daddy really that cash-strapped? I'm sure they can put a year's subscription on layaway for you...

£9 is nothing. That's like 90 minutes worth of paid-employment, going towards a game, per month. Jesus.

All I said was that I didn't like the title of the game, and you go and get your panties in a twist.

I think you'll find that what causes these arguments is in fact the relentless over-willingness of the 'other' side to flame on WoW and denigrate its playerbase based on things such as "Lolol they pay $15.00 a month when I'm too broke to even patch up the holes in my clothes" or "Wtfz0r stupid nerds paying a pay-to-play game that my parents refuse to pay on their card for!".Fenris_GreyClaw wrote:

What you seem to miss is a lot of people won't want to play the same game for a whole year or longer, which is close to what it takes to get anywhere within WoW unless you play for longer than 5 hours a day. Many of these people also may not get to play for a whole day or more, meaning the money paid for those days is 'wasted'.
It doesn't seem like a huge deal to you (or 10 million others for that matter,) but it means a lot to other people. The fact that neither of these 'sides' can see the others point of view is what causes these arguments.

It sounds as though I'm a devout WoW fanboy, even though really I am highly critical of the actual game- I haven't played in over a year and generally feel too discontent with the direction it has headed in to even care for the expansion pack or any new introductions. However, what I will argue against is pointless and mindless bandwagon faggotry, which is always in abundant supply here on these Forums. The cretinous cohort of Xbox360 kids that somehow think their pointless gaming opinion lends itself to MMO's and World of Warcraft, and the 'too cool for MMO' group of people that are far too busy being, err, much 'cooler' on FPS games... all too easy to pick-up on and argue with.TimmmmaaaaH wrote:

Also....
Anyone who knows me knows my stance on WoW, i was sceptical of the game before i started playing it just over one year ago. I and others who now play used to give a rediculous amount of bother to our friends who played and we repeated the same worn out 'gay', 'no life', 'wowtard' comments to them at any given opportunity. And low and behold i played it and loved it, i couldn't have been more wrong about a game.
I browse the forums and read the hype about a lot of the games some users here play and in contrast to WoW, they offer nothing except some old ideas with a new face and some bigger explosions. I tried the newest games, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3 etc etc.... and in reflection to WoW, they are shit box games that are good for pick up and put down. Thats my opinion, like it or dislike it and no offence intended.
