Is In Your Base, Killing Your Pokemans

What do you guys think. I know BC opened a much needed refreshing window for players, but now I'm curious if anyone else sees a kind of SOE approach to expansions coming out. Overuse of expansions tends to be an MMO killer in my opinion and I'm just thinking, with barely any guilds able to take on the final steps of the Endgame in BC...here comes a new expansion.

Now I'm now writing this from 3rd person as I no longer play, so fill me in. What's the word in game?

    IIRC Lich King is slated to be the last WoW expansion - Which screams 'new mmo from blizzard' at me.

    No idea what it would be, no idea when it would be, but hey. I doubt that WoW is ever going to go the way of, say, Myst Online.

      Tbh I highly doubt that.

      There is room for more "expansions" (Emerald Dream for one), and WoW being the cash cow that it is, will be milked until it dies.

      That or Blizz will bring out "WoW2" with updated graphics and other shit. Admitedly WoW is looking a little tired these days. But apparently they have been refreshed for WotLK.

      We shall see in a few minutes if they are or not. >_>

        I can safely say that there's not a fat lot of 'refreshing'.

        There's some nicer shadows and that's about it - WoW is dx7 compatible, I doubt they'll change that, because I expect a large portion of their subscribers use what we would consider 'low end' machines.

        When it comes to the number of expansions, I'm only repeating what I've heard - Nothing official.

          it would be pretty cool, how do you think they'd do it? 3rd or 1st person. I don't know many companies that want to balls up and try 1st.

      When i fell out of the Huxley fan base was after I saw the previews at E3 a year or couple ago. The game looks like it's going to be Warcry + CoH [with wep sockets instead of ability sockets]. I don't want another totally instanced FPS. I miss PlanetSide D:

        I guess since I never really played those games much, it was something new to me. I didn't think it was completely instance based either. I dunno I stopped keeping up when I heard it was dropped.

    has a custom title.

    I'm personally hyped about Lich King. I never got past BT in Burning Crusade so I wouldn't call myself hardcore; infact the best time I had in WoW was when BC was first released and we struggled through Kara in a small 10-man guild of mates. Our idea is to do the same thing in Lich but through all the content since now there will be 10-man dungeons of every raid.

    The idea of having to collect all my epics again doesn't really bother me since it is so easy to get them now. Back pre-BC it took you months to get a few epics, now in BC you can pretty much get a full-set of welfare gear in a week. However

    While I think Blizzard won't let the Warcraft franchise die out, they are making a new MMO which I think will run along side WoW - and god, do I hope it's a Starcraft one. ;)
