    Ill try to get my Blizz fix@ Pax east but Blizcon would be epic, its just so hard to get tickets without paying an ebay kinda upcharge.

    Last Blizzcon sold out instantly, the only people who got ticketts were spamming the order  key the second they opened 0o

    Seriously thinking of buying Blizzard stock...

    They got hearthstone (Supprising sucess and originaly deved as somones hobby i thinnk!) and WOD looking amazing wow subs are on the rise again, after WOD well prolly see the undead-Sylvanas expansion everyone has allways wanted. starcraft/ diablo are huge but most importantly if HOS is popular look out.... could be the best couple years for blizz..

    There whole lineup is stellar imo

    Pre-ordering and buying is the same thing when it comes your Blizzard account.  Once you hit the button to confirm your purchase, thats it, unless you want to do a charge back on your credit card, in which case Blizzard will block your Bnet account or, at the very least, access to WoW.

    Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?

    Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.

    Picking up some stock a little under a year ago was a good call on my part.  Seen a $5/share up-tick in that time.  : )

    Ya, the fine print will tell you it's only for digital pre-purchases made through Blizzard. They said physical pre-orders at stores will have to wait until they get their box.

    Same here!  This was my 2nd test.  Last time I got 3 characters to level 10.  This time I stuck with one and struggled to stay amused through 15.  I can't really explain it.  It just felt boring.

    It's boring because they make these games too easy to play.  They are all babysitting tools.

     

    They don't make it hard to survive.  They tell you where to find your quest items.  They find you a group to 5 man etc... with.  They play the game for you. 

     

    The old games were so much more fun.  You had to fight to live and work to find things.  You had to work with people (MMO) to live and achieve goals that actually felt like you DID SOMETHING cool and hard.

    What is actually NEW in this new content, not recycled and reskinned like an old Balogna sandwich?

    Wherever you go, there you are.

    1 expansion every 2 years. if that is the result of 7 million+ subscriber paying for the game, then this is really the time to stop subscribing to this game altogether. don't get me wrong, i am massive wow fan but these very slow updates are not what  a company like blizzard should be providing to their subscribers.

    Boobs are LIFE, Boobs are LOVE, Boobs are JUSTICE, Boobs are mankind's HOPES and DREAMS. People who complain about boobs have lost their humanity.

    With the money Bliz makes on this game they should be able to pump out content quarterly. They charge full price for expansions as if they are a completely new game when in reality they are a few character tweeks, a handful of zones, rehashed quests and a raid or two with jacked up gear for the loot wh0res.

    Kinda sucks when your paying $15 a month

     

    Imagine if everyone cancelled their sub until WOD released. Might send a message and end up being beneficial for subscriber's.

    Most people do, that's why you saw WoW dip from 10 million to 7 million this past year

     

    So, according to you, 30% is "most people"? Lol...

    Btw, Wildstar'ers:

    Now that the NDA is lifted, read some reviews. Not many are praising that game, it seems.

    It is a pretty significant number for such a short time.  Considering the biggest post expack surge I think I have seen so far is 1million subs, I don't think WoW will get most of that back.  Not to mention WoW will likely lose another 1-2 million before WoD hits.   I have read nothing but praise for Wildstar, so I'm not sure where all these bad reviews are unless you are talking about the eternal battle between ESO fanboys and Wildstar fanboys constantly dissing the other game, which doesn't make sense because the games have different market audiences.   Some people will go back to WoW after ESO or WS and some won't.  How many will depend greatly on how will they handle post launch and content updates.  If both games manage to get content out at the pace they are both promising, a lot of those players may be too busy having fun with new content to bother going back to WoW.
