is making WoW fun again
and i know that in past posts i have said things about the new expansion is casualizing the game, how the game has been forever changed certain things that ive grown accustom too. But i have been watching Beta screenings by Totalhalibut aka "Blue plz!" and i have to say that the game has taken a pretty cool turn of events.
Certain things that happened in vanilla, are coming back to cata
i.e. world pvp, kiting and crowd control for dungeons, the replacement of level 80 epics with quest item greens.

this expansion is making me nostalgia about how the game use to be back in the day and im pretty stoked to play it
"Leveling from 80 to 85 will be the same as leveling from 70 to 80"

and i was watching a video of how some of the old world dungeons like Scholomance, stratholme, and such will still drop tier 0,
these items will still be blue/epic but will have a lower level requirement when the beta is updated.

in short,

I'm sorry blizzard for talking smack about Cataclysm,
I guess I was jumping to conclusions and never saw the epicness that you guys put forth in this well designed expansion

who else has things to say about cataclysm?

This has nothing to do with your thread/post, but I really like your avatar.
 
Cata beta is awesome, the game has been reinvented for me. I loved leveling, now I can love it again without the deja vu.
 
i dunno, i played wow on all three of its last versions and i still to this day think that Pre BC was way more epic than any expansion can create.

i had a blast doin 40man MC runs, now its who has the best gear gets to do the runs, its not role supportive anymore i think.
 
Your running on nostalgia. Everyone thought the same thing about Wrath, and a bunch of people quit after it wore off.

It makes it seem really good, but once you get to play it, it wont be like you think after a while. How is world PVP coming back? It seems they are killing it more by allowing flying mounts in azeroth so you never have to interfere with people, and moving all PVP into large instances like wintergrasp.

Cata, in my opinion, is the best expansion Blizzard has released for WoW. Wrath being the worst, not saying that I didn't enjoy Wrath.

The game just feels better, although, I'm not an endgame fan, I really love leveling, so this expansion really clicks with me, BC had terrible lore in my opinion, and the only zone in Wrath I liked was Storm's Peaks (favorite zone of all time in fact) because Titan lore is awesome.
 
Wait wait wait...WoW was fun? Did I miss the memo on this or something?
 
10 mans and 25 mans sharing lock out periods is still stupid and will remain my reason for quitting. The epicness of the game is dead to me. Whats the point in running 25 man raids if I can run 10 mans and get the same quality loot. No one will run 25 mans anymore except to get realm/world firsts. I miss 40 man raids and one boss mode and no hard modes or achievement farming that dulls out the raid. Not to mention blizzard is lazy/running out of ideas/bosses by reusing ragnaros. Might as well reincarnate Illidan and Arthas now for the next expansion.... This game is dead to me I have no reason to return to it. Wrath killed some of the player base but a lot of the original vanilla wow people have left or will be leaving come Cata.

And im sorry a lower lvl requirement will not make people go back to scholo or strath when they go on to burning crusade and get blues that are 10x better than what drops in the old world 5 mans. This game was a lot more fun when it was just vanilla WoW and still fun in BC but Wrath ruined a lot of things and even BC ruined the game as well. If Blizzard is smart they would bring back 40 man modes and or better yet scale the difficulty based on how many people you bring to the raid and make the loot quality be based on amount of people the best loot being 40+ people the worst being less than 10.

Also Star Wars The old Republic if its a smash hit like its shaping up to be will really steal away a lot of the player base... Cata will be the beginning of the end for WoW. Also other mmos are gathering players again especially LOTRO with going free 2 play.

Yeah, there is a bug with the inbox system, messages don't show up. We sent a memo out a while ago to have everyone update their contact information for a temporary fix. We have Bill working on it. You know Bill right? He is a nice guy.
 
WoW has always been fun for me i just ran out of money!!! lol

But good thing im working three jobs so i can pay for it!

One in the summer as a counselor at a summer camp. One at publix on the weekends and the last is paper boy so that money should be enough.

Yeah, I know Bill. Great guy to work with. Did you know his wife is expecting twins?
 
I've always thought WoW was fun, basically blizzard took the player interaction out of the game with the LFG thing (yes i did find this similar saying on a different website) but i believe this to be true. But, there are people on my realm who still host group dungeon farming, making the game much much more fun, so what if i nostalgia a bit, i nostalgia'd when TBC came out, got to 70 and waited for the next content to come out, nostalgia'd when WotLK came out got to 80, waited for new content. I don't just play the game to sit at my computer for hours on end, i play the game because these people at blizzard have made WORLDS within a computer, there are places in that game that are so well designed that i would just rather sit in that zone all day and do nothing but look at the design work of it. Thats how i feel about cataclysm, zones are going to be changed, and even though i am use to seeing the vanilla zones, i want to see what they have literally "recreated" the world

Same here.

I lost the information to my account, which had 2 level 70's on it. I can't remember what email was attached to it nor do I remember the username I had (this is before the blizzard.net integration for those of you who are currently playing it).

So yeah, I'm going to buy disks for every version of the game when Cataclysm comes out and I'll be starting fresh.

I kind of miss playing World of Warcraft...
