WoW mainly uses instances to separate expansion content and dungeons/PvP. Vanilla WoW has one instance for each continent. Then each expansion has a separate instance. All of the dungeons/PvP are instances because they are group specific content and…
BioWare made Mass Effect 2 and is making SWTOR. I'd be willing to bet many aspects of the Mass Effect game will make it into SWTOR. If BioWare hadn't secured the rights to Star Wars we'd probably be seeing a Mass Effect MMO instead.
We have alread…
I've played Mass Effect 2 so I know what the experience is going to be like. Not that Mass Effect 2 is a bad game or wasn't enjoyable but the world seemed smaller than World of Warcraft which is sort of my point. World of Warcraft is physically a sm…
The one thing that sets this expansion apart though is it is not only adding new content but it is changing a lot of old content.
I imagine the version of WoW that they start shipping as a battlechest after the Cataclysm will be a newer version of…

Currently, you get WoW+TBC for 30 bucks (WoW Battlechest), the same as they used to cost seperately. They sell it as a bundle now, rather than seperate boxes, which have been out of print since a while before WotL…

What he is talking about here is the planned changes to battle.net.
The plan going forward is that community won't be game centric. They are trying to move the community to be Blizzard centric. All of the in-game communication channels, friend lis…
I say 2013 for the new IP because by then all the StarCraft boxes will have been released and most likely a Diablo Expansion as well as 2 WoW expansions including Cataclysm will have been released. It is the magic year that the slate becomes clean.

The more I think about it the more I hope that this is a full on reboot. I think you are going to see vanilla WoW redone. It's going to make everyone want to re-roll and start over. Thus allowing them to bring in a huge segment of new players to the…
I guess the question I would have is how are they going to repackage the game for the future. Cataclysm would be a great chance to say hey if you are a newbie now is a really good time to get into WoW. People aren't going to want to buy 4 boxes to p…
Unfortunately, the rights to the Forgotten Realms has been divided up over the years. With one company having the rights to make "Neverwinter Nights" games and another might have the rights to "Baldur's Gate" and so on. There is so much great lore t…
1. An advanced alien collective intelligence found earth and decided it would be a good place to spawn a child.
2. They had to get rid of some of the dangers though so they brought about massive destruction killing off the dinosaurs. All that was l…
This new MMO that Blizzard is developing is starting to worry me based on several facts that we now know about the game
1. It will not compete with World of Warcraft
2. It will be a new IP
So why does that worry me? It's not just a change in ge…
