MMORPG.com has a terrific editorial piece that they just posted last night where they discuss the upcoming expansion to World of Warcraft - The Burning Crusade. In the discussion, MMORPG.com talk about several issues with the expansion, including more grinding, same old same old, why couldn't Blizzard add that Hero/Prestige class they spoke about previously, has Blizzard given up on actual changes in lieu of keeping the status quo?
MMORPG.com and I both agree on one thing - The Burning Crusade is going to sell buckets and make Blizzard billions of bucks. Indeed.

Blizzard taking the easy way going the asian mmorpg on us now, they better release StarCraft 2 soon... and it better be GOOD!
Obviously, having a giant continents hanging in mid-air, half broken up and twisted around, with the ability to fly anywhere you want is nothing new. Hmm, that sound just like Elwynn Forest, doesn't it.
His first sentence asking whether it will force people to replay from the beginning just doesn't seem to make sense? Does he want that 'ordeal' or not? Why does he think it's in any way relevant?
It kinda sounds like he wishes he was playing another game, but can't bring himself to do anything about it (his continual references to WoW being easy I disagree with especially - it very much depends on your play style. Of course it's easy if you take it slow).
(this is coming from someone who knows very well the changes coming up)
Edit: yes, before someone else says it - it's not a huge innovative leap, it's true. Blizzard don't do that, they refine.

and lfoating islands is hardly that new.. other MMORPG's, better MMORPGs have had that a while now.. but then Blizzard have ripped a lot of stuff of of that MMORPG.
more of the same old crap, find a quest kill something, find a quest find item, find a quest kill something. **** needs to be redone b4 it just gets generic
I've really enjoyed playing the game but I've been taking a break until the expansion comes out. I hope blizzard releases a new game soon.
they showed some video and gave some information about the upcoming release it looks awesome. now where people got the facts that there isnt going to be anything new is completely and utterly your of their mind. there is allot of new things including 2 new classes yes i said 2 new classes. which is stated clearly com amazon for pre orders which I already ordered. so allot of people are going to be very much surprised. and Blizzard nor I and allot of other people have no doubt it will be the biggest selling expansion ever.
