    This means WOW  will turn into a asian grinder and instead of WOW being fun from 1-70. WoW will only be fun at end game.

    Yes, because everything NCsoft turns into a more heavy grind, such as CoH, AA, GW



    do your research.

    Blizzard is owned by Vivendi.  Even when Vivendi was having trouble, Blizzard was never for sale, they sold other, non profitable companies.

    I don't think you could pry Blizzard from Vivendi by any means. 

    Ncsoft could not afford them anyways.

    They already have, Blizzard is owned by Vivendi Universal.

    Why would they do that? Blizzard has plenty of money.

    I'm sure a well known site like that would get the scoop on such a major story.  CNN beware!

    No, it's not all that amazing. Pretty par for the course, really.

    Unless you meant amazing in a "How can they walk and breath at the same time without something frying?" sort of way.

    blizzard doesn't own itself...  i'm not sure what publisher owns them...



    it's the same relationship as microsoft and bungie have...   blizzard doesnt reap the reward of the money it makes, its parent company does.

    Vivendi Universal owns Blizzard, and for the record, saying that NCsoft bought them would be like saying a homeless person bought Microsoft.

    ***Disclaimer***

    This story is 100% FICTIONAL To our knowledge Bill Gates' Soul is still in Satan's posession and most likely Satan already has a stake in World of Warcraft, its the only way we at w00t Radio can explain is extreme success in comparison to every other game on the planet.



    *cough*



    Read the website :)

    Grind is a grind is a grind. 1 to lvl cap is grind. Endgame? Gear set grind, faction rep grind, crafting grind, item grind, attunement grind, battlegound grind!!   Endgame is more of the same just more exposed to what the game really is.  Seems asian to me.

    This line should have been a dead giveaway:

    "Just what was the price for such a massive purchase?  Bill Gates' soul. "

    Bill Gates has no soul.
