I bet half of the ppl who buy these will be doing to RAF a new monk >_>
Still Blizz will probably pick up more new subscribers with this deal than some MMOs ever get in their lifetime.
 
People still play that?
More importantly, would NEW players get into that old game? Start from scratch AND pay a monthly fee for that?
IDK, just legitimate questions here, because I for one would not even consider doing that. If they made it free-to-play, I might consider it, although given that the game is ancient, I doubt it.

I have to admit, I loved the trailer.
 
I'll wait on Titan, actually.

WoW is not a bad game in any stretch, but I got bored of not finding a decent guild to play with and have fun. Also, got tired of scripted fights; that's what really turn me down I guess.

Cheers!
 
As a player who stopped playing before any expansions were released I certainly couldn't see myself going back now. I imagine that most places in WoW are now simply abandoned by players with key focuses on worth while places only. EverQuest shared this same fate where so many expansions eventually entire continents were like ghost towns and you could spend a week on them and not see another player.

A aged and expanded MMO is not welcoming to new comers or late returners. People should just check out the newer ones or ones soon to be released.
 
Not excited about MoP (1st time I haven't been excited about a WoW Xpack), and frankly, while I expect Titan to be a technical marvel, I'm tired of the stories the developers are telling. Same devs, same old themes, some that started in Diablo. Not excited about Blizzard, which I think is "over the hill" and on the decline.

Thankfully, Gearbox has created a gem called Borderlands, and Borderlands 2 will come out Sept. 18 (in the U.S.). Gearbox is a company that's still excited about their games; if you've ever heard CEO Randy Pitchford talk about Gearbox games in general and Borderlands 2 specifically, you know what I'm talking about. BLT looks to be better than the original in every way you can imagine - including graphics on the PC. PC players aren't getting just a port this time, they are getting the good stuff that can only be done on a PC.

So, come September I'll be excited, but this time it'll be for a "RP Shooter" called Borderlands 2, not the WoW Xpack and not an MMOG.

I've stopped playing right after Burning Crusade came, and I'll definitely won't ever return.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Thank you for the offer, Blizzard, but after your fail with Diablo III, I'll definitely stay with my GODLIKE Guild Wars 2, TO, E.V.E., and upcoming World of Darkness (FUN*K YEAH!) MMO.

Oh, yeah and with (but of course!) PSO II, too. Forgot to add it in the list of GODLIKE MMOs that's out there, even though I play the shit out of it right now...lol. %))

Yeah I'm not ashamed to admit WoW used to be quite incredible during its vanilla and towards the end of TBC. Just pure gold really. The lore was spot on and something every player coming from Warcraft 3 felt connected and had a sense of. The game had soul throughout that same period and then it just stopped losing it when WOTLK hit. It got about 5 million subscribers for what seem to be a blink of an eye. RIP WoW 2004-2008.

I still remember first lines of world's explorers, glitch-abusers, Leeroy, Onyxia, Airport, Naked L1 Dwarfs Protest Fests...good times.

Yes! I tottaly agree with you Bordelands is a pure Gem! I was sick of the MMO style, Bordelands brought the multi-player to a level of pure pleasure! I don't care if 1 or 2 millions people are playing at the same time than me on the same map. However the multi-player on Borderlands, limited to 4 people, per map gave me so much fun!
September 22 (I'm european), I'm waiting for you!
There is a game that deserves to be bought, as the Witcher for example without crapy "online only mod" or real money shit that screw the game!!
 
Offer 90% discount and free expansion and I'd still not play it. Not after seeing how Diablo 3 turned out. Get rid of Activision and maybe then I'll give some game of yours a try.
 
I honestly don't get the hate over World of Warcraft, and I'm getting tired of hearing it, yes maybe it has gone down hill, but who cares?

Who are we to judge others because they enjoy something? I sure love WoW, used to play it like crazy!

I got tired of playing it though after the fourth 80; or something like that. I can honestly say that I do long to play it again, nostalgia over all the good and bad times; I lived another life in that game.

People love Lady Gaga, but I think she is an ugly woman who looks like a man and sings like a banshee; I don't go around screaming my hatred though.

A lot of people are hating on it just for the sake of hating on it, sadly. And there are people hating on it just because its the best selling/mainstream MMORPG. I know people want to see new MMOs, but the fact is that no matter how hard another MMO tries to take down WoW, it will fail miserably. The only people who can kill the freakish success of WoW is Blizzard themselves. I also think that the MMORPG market has already seen its peak business because of this game, leaving players exhausted of MMORPGs at this point. I could be wrong, but I really don't see new MMORPGs taking off very well because of this. MMORPGs started and died with WoW.

i wanted to play warcraft for a while, and every now and than its an itch i want to scratch, but paying over 100$ for the game is insane to me... everquest, when it wasn't f2p every expansion gave you all the old content for free... thats how an mmo should be and how you can justify a full price expantion.
 
Why don't they merge WotLK and Cataclysm with the Battle Chest? Hm... Maybe they have a surplus of each of the three discounted products mentioned above...
