At least the account is banned, I mean, the person who stole it  from you lost it too. You lost an eye but you made him go blind. I hope this makes you feel a little better ;)

As usual, many people are wearing their WoW Doomsday sandwhich boards as a result of Blizzards recent expansion announcement.

Let's assume for a minute that they some of the naysayers are right, that WoW is clearly now catering to a younger audience with the Panda's and Pokemon and the dumbed down talent system (This is NOT the place to argue this, so go elsewhere please).

Could this be a good thing for the genre?  If they push out the more serious and mature players, where will they go?  Will the infusion of new blood into existing MMO's breath new life into them?  Does it increase the potential pool of customers for future MMO's?

If we assume as true what you are saying then the rest of mmos will start catering to a younger audience too and I dont think this is good for tne genre. But I dont think thats gonna happen, WoW will continue the way it is for a long time still.

I'm sure there are more but I can't come up with them right now. I didn't finish most of these games but I liked them a lot.

1. Ishar

2. Maupiti Island

3. F16 Combat Pilot

4. Livinston supongo (spanish title you probably dont know about)

5. Lorna (spanish title too, but maybe it was sold out of my country too)

6. Infiltrator (This one was my first ever game, I still have it.)

7. Cobra Mission

8. Morrowind

9. Oblivion

7. Eye of the Beholder II

8. Fall Out

9. Fall Out 3

10. Arx Fatalis

11. Baldur's Gate

12. Sim City 1

13. The Sims

14. Loom

15. Monkey Island

16. F1 Grand Prix

17. Alone in the Dark

18. Lineage 2

19. Everquest 2

20. Trackmania

21. Blade, The edge of Darkness.

I will roam around and search for a good place to take a screenhot to upload it to mmorpg.com. After that I will be raised to the heavens of gaming and noone never ever will know about me anymore. :D

Just curious, what if the game isn't that good?

It will be the end of the world. :D

The key to a revolutionary mmo is a mmorpg that you can play with virtual reality glasses and wii or b-move style controls.

Think about it, awesome.

Of course I want mounts, and houses.

Are you guys 100% sure its 20. Dec for Europeans too? at Origin.com, their own online shop it also says 22 of Dec. sound odd if they didnt fix this at their own site...

Sure the change of Date for europe was anounced, they may even be some threads about it. It's the 20 of december right now.

Interesting stuff you may want to open a blog here on mmorpg.com about it.

500 bucks is way too much.

Everybody is making fun of him, he is now a Sad Panda... er... I mean, Angry Panda.

When you need to make an statement about your next race / expansion not being a joke you need to really stop yourself and check what you are launching as your next expansion. Not that I care too much about WoW and it's lore, just is fun to post about all this Panda thing.

Yay! my rig will eat all of it easy even with some fried potatoes.

Thank, nice video but if you are going to show girls posing better to take a photos of them all and making a gallery that way I can watch every girl at my own pace (and we can even right click / save :D ). Any way nice video, some girls are hot and if I am watchfull enought I can see some fatty girls all around so they are safe, just they didnt pose  XD

I've been in a a few MMO launches the past 3/4 years and they have all been mayhem with queues out the wazoo, lag, no mobs to kill because there are 2000 ppl in the starter area, lag, general chat constantly being spammed of people comparing everything to WoW, lag, servers crashing, lag, seeing loads of Lienhearts, Cloudz, xXLegolasXx, Gandelf, Luuke SkieWalka, Choowie etc.. as if they are super cool and original, lag, 1500 of the 2000 people bunnyhopping everywhere, chat full of "where is Ujamaflip with the thingyamijiggy that I have to give to whatsamacallit". And this MMO will have that multiplied by 1000 so I've made the gracious decision, no need to thank me, to not pre-order or buy at launch and just sit back and observe the drama and mayhem unfold on here and the official forums its going to be very interesting. Yes I know but I'm not going to be able to say in 2 years "well DUH! I've been in since headstart and its always been like that" So have fun guys Oh! and lots of patience your going to need it.

Is one of the reason why I haven't pre ordered yet.

This guy could stand next to another holy pally and for once he will play differently providing he has not chosen the same skills on each teir, but he's still a holy pally , he is till just as effective as another holy pally.

 

 

Yeah he can be a Holly Pally Panda.

so kung fu panda...

WoW won't die, it will just change demographics, and countries.  Pandas are a proud Chinese national symbol afterall.

 

Yes for every western player who is going, "Pandas, wtf?" there are at least 5 Chinese players cheering.

And Im sure millions of wow players from the west right now are like: lol I wanna play a panda monk right now! how cool!

You should learn about what you talking about. All of this was before kung fu panda, of course.

Actually no, no  I shouldnt..  when I have interest in playing a game.. I play the game.. I shouldnt have to research its years of history.. or get a PhD in it's lore to be able to pick it up and play it..  And guess what.. I'm not alone.. tons of people... /gulp ..  DONT CARE ... the first thing that is going to come to their minds is.. Kung Fu Panda.. why?  Because media has blasted our minds with 2 movies of it..  Trust me I'm not the first or the last to think it...

So, in closing should I learn the entire history of a game, research its lore yadda yadda yadda?  No son.  no.

So you talk about stuff you dont know about? Awesome.

Way to pick out one line and run with it... Fox News is looking for a new editor... just an FYI to all.. Awesome.

Maybe boredom makes me do that, I don't feel I did a good thing replying like that there even If I maybe right in some sense. So I'm sorry I don't want to derail your thread and the truth is that all this panda thingy looks ridiculous it really is. So you are right, even if it fits the lore of Warcraft (and it does) and WoW share the same lore, it it's ridiculous at least in my opinion. I never did see kung fu panda for the same reason but probably most of the player base will think about that when knowing about that expansion.
