Any other players in here? If so, what do you guys think about Lich King, any expectations or ideas?

    Well the Lich King release should be interesting. I hope to see many new things in the game, not just new dungeons and new areas in the game and all that easy stuff, I want some new features, different ways of playing the game. Burning Crusades I have to say disappointed me just because all they really did was add a new world. I want Lich King to have new ideas, and new things to make it more difficult, I think that WoW is really just based on how much time you put into the game and not based on skill.

    I honestly know sod all about the game, except that I want the Inscriptions profession in Lich King. Other than that, no clues what to expect :B

      Well, if you'd like a little help, it's a lot easier to start if you know somebody else in game. Make a character on my server and I'd be glad to help you. Sisters of Elune is my server.

    I played for a bit at release, then picked it up again last February. I have a 70 druid, and an almost 70 paladin. I hoping they build off of the good and bad ideas from Burning Crusade and make WotLK that much better, like Shattrath for example, it seemed like a good idea on paper, but doesn't really work that well in the actual game.

    The Cake Is A Lie

    Used to play, and got my obligatory level 70 Blood Elf, but not sure if I'll go back for WotLK or not.

    I did like Burning Crusade, even if it didn't add much fundamentally new to the game, mostly because I'm not sure how making big changes (like the Deathknight thing) is going to affect things. Also, I'm the sort of person who can be entertained with pretty scenery and music and witty quests. (Though that didn't keep me around for more than a few months.)

    I do hope that they add/change more in Azeroth with WotLK outside of just Northrend.

    I kinda doubt they're gonna change much about Azeroth anymore, the game code is just huge and it would take forever, not to mention what it'd likely do to the gameplay for the lower level players there. I'd like to see something similar to Everquest's TSS (The Serpent's Spine). It's hard to admit that EQ may have gotten something right in one of their expansion packs, but I like how it added new dimensions to all the lower leveled gameplay as well as building everything related to their level cap increase. It brought an entirely new series of zones for every level series, and you could level a toon 1-75 in TSS. That's what I'd like to see, new content for every level as well as new game features.

    What levels are you guys? (other than the people that have already clarified this, obv.) You say you're getting back into the game, so I figure you're somewhere between like 30 and 60.

    A huge problem Blizzard faces with the new expansion is providing content for all the level 70s that are bored off their asses. Tonnes of people do raids and all that noise, but there's an equal number - probably a greater number - than "can never seem to find a raid group" and they're quitting the game because there's just nothing to do. It's claimed a few from my guild and I'm impatiently waiting to see how they combat this.

    Aside from that they've got to meet player expectations with he interaction with Arthas. What's going to happen to Frostmourne after you kill Arthas (yes, they've confirmed you will kill him)?

    But what I'm really stoked about is the beginning of the hero classes. That I can't wait for. The Death Knight is a great choice, I think, for the first hero class and it'll be interesting to see exactly how they construct the class and the mechanics behind it. :D

      I guess you could consider the level cap increase as new content for the bored level 70's, but I assume you mean beyond that, when we're in the same situation at level 80. I think they should bring back pvp titles, it'd be a huge incentive for some people, (myself included) to play regularly. Past that I think they'll have a decent project trying to find something to give the more capable level 80's. I hit 70 about a good 5 months after BC came out so I haven't gotten to all the raids, but I'll be 80 within 2 weeks, likely geared in 4. Then I'll be seeing some of this boredom. Though admittedly, they also have to work with the less capable 70's, that are just getting there, and are still working on mastering how to play their class, so they don't want to expand the game too fast and alienate that group either. It's a delicate balance.

      Won The Internet

      Blizzard is always going to run into the problem of what to do with your max level gamers. As long as there is a cap, there will be people who reach it fast and then just mop up all of the loot and theres left to do except farm things. As fun as that might be for people, it's just my style of play. I've quit this game twice and I keep coming back. For a reason. It's a great game.

      However, the hero class. This is a interesting concept, however to only instate one at a time means there will 1 million death knights roaming around for 6 months until most will get bored with it and move on. The same thing happened with BC. There a billion pallys and shammys running around and now you don't really see them any more. If they're going to do the hero classes, I think they should give us all or most of them at once so that there is some fucking variety out there. Because I KNOW that when this thing launches, I'm gonna be up against 5v5 death knight teams and probably get fucked in the ass. Pardon my French.

    Well, I think the whole death knight thing is stupid. Well, not the idea of hero class but the first one... They give melee all the legnedaries at the start and now the first hero class :*(. Let Archmage be the first one! All the squishies *yes a squishy :)* need some luvin too!

    I think that the death knight is just another attachment to blizzards great game. The idea of a hero class is a great idea, but what i don't understand about it is how it will work and why blizzard made death knight available once you get at lvl 80?

    Also, technically, Deathknight isn't the FIRST hero class. In Warcraft 3, a Palidain was a hero class too~

    well yeah, a paladin was a hero class in warcraft 3, but anything was a hero class in that game. Shamans, lich, anything was a hero class because warcraft 3 wasn't a mmorpg like world of warcraft.

    Wait... is Lich King that new game Blizzard hired all those people for, then announced they're working on a new "next-gen" MMO?

    (hopes fall) I was hoping they'd finally get around to making something like "World of Starcraft" or even another Starcraft in general.

      And... they're working on Starcraft 2. So your dreams are coming true.

        The "secret" project is a game being made by Bliz's "Team 3". Its either starcraft mmo or the "official" Diablo 3. Since Blizzard's North is making Mythos which is "Diablo 3". Just not under Blizzard's name. So I'm guessing starcraft mmo. Eventhough, Team '3' Diablo '3'. Who knows, its bliz, they might ressurrect Starcraft Ghost.

          It's kind of unlikely that they're developing Starcraft 2 and a Starcraft MMO simultaneously. I mean, it'd be awesome if they are... but I wouldn't lay too much weight on that idea just yet.

          Besides they'll want to draw the full story for SC2 before they pull out the necessary components to make an individual MMO for the series. You don't want to have to dumb down the story of both so that new players can jump into the mythos without being completely lost; and you don't want to have three hours of cut scenes either.

            I agree, but just because they are working on both at the same time doesn't mean they'll launch at the same time. If they're smart, which they are as we saw with WoW, they'll launch SC2 and use it as the foundation for the SC MMO. Just like they did with WC3 and WoW. It was brilliant.

            My fear of an SC MMO is another Star Wars: Galaxies on our hands. They need to find a kick ass way to keep this fresh. The free space MMO has been done in a variety of ways, between EVE, SW:G and Planetside. These are the big ones and they have to be able to avoid the pit falls that they fell into. In addition, they need a way to keep it separate from WoW. If they make WoW in Space, they're gonna fail.

    i think WotLK will be good but 'im worried for the Deathknights. They seem a bit over powered and the rune system is a bit odd. We know they can summon undead minions to assault their enemy but if they can only use 6 runes at once and some abilities cost 4 runes, how fast do those things regen? if they regen too fast then the Deathknights will be unstoppable and be too OP, if the runes regen too slow then they'll use one ability and be left vulnerable. Unless they put CDs on almost every DK ability, i don't think that they'll be worth it imo.
