What is Digg?274 Comments
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+68Welcome to the endless grind of WoW :P
- Eichenator, on 10/10/2007, -6/+50Great... so once we spend all our time getting through the level 70 raids, purples will once again turn in to lvl 71 greens.
- evileddy60, on 10/10/2007, -2/+28Best way to enjoy any MMO you play is to NEVER EVER EVER EVER read any forums about it from
hardcore players.
It's like dissecting a clown.. it's just not fun anymore.
Play what you want and enjoy it till it doesn't then move on and always remember it's just a game. - cyberwarriorx, on 10/10/2007, -4/+28How about Warcraft 4?
- CaptMonkey, on 10/10/2007, -6/+26Sounds fishy to me. They're making *one* hero class? And it's deathknight? I can't see alliance or horde being deathknights, so what, they're going to make a new faction made entirely of deathknights? "LFM... deathknights."
Besides, why would they make you start a new character that in turn starts out high level? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of making a new character? They've surprised me before... (draenei being shamans and blood elves being paladins) but I just don't think this is true. - sbader, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21probably wouldn't be much of an mmo if it had an end.

- BradArmstrong1, on 10/10/2007, -12/+29Break out of wow, i did it, you can, you will feel better...
- LordVorbis, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19I doubt it's actually true. So many fake Patch Notes and bogus info have been leaked in the past that the thought of Blizzard actually getting a hero class into the game is fairly shocking. Of course, I was hoping it would be something new, and not just a rip off of City of Heroes epic ATs.
Thinking about it, it would probably require something retarded like clearing every instance on heroic mode, and doing all the 25 man raids. So only the epic poop sockers can get it. - zyl0x, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16And I thought all Diggers weren't ignorant.
- postalblowfish7, on 10/10/2007, -10/+23people who complain about 'the grind':
STOP PLAYING MMORPGs. THE GENRE IS NOT FOR YOU.
here's a copy of counter strike, now shoo! - VSLOATHE, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12The best MMO's out there can think of more creative ways to add content than adding levels to the "grind". Adding levels is the lazy man's way out a la the EQ series.
- Flunk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Do you live in a cave? SC2 has been announced and Diablo 3 is most probably in development at the moment.
- DarKnight90, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10World of Warcraft: The Deathly Hallows
No fairzz only teh uber raiders can get teh elder wand! - bigp3rm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Then dont play.
- Mullinator, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9lol, someone on digg calling someone else a nerd and then yelling at them to go outside.
- Akaji, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9I like PvP... :(
And no, you weren't high. SOE got involved. LotRO is actually pretty good, by the way. - Kenelm, on 10/10/2007, -7/+14How about something else, such as Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, or Lost Vikings 3 ? I think most people are starting to get sick of Warcraft.
- robuk24, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I just enjoy running around the new environments. They are so pretty :)
- darklord5907, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8If we enjoy the game and realize how to manage our time correctly, what is so bad about it?
- Akaji, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Did it. Was 'sober' for a year and a half. Just started again. I'm more happy playing it.
- pak314, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Can you give us some examples of these "best MMOs" and of a content system that will scale to a thousand players?
- erasedgod, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9Dugg down by request.
- yohnstoppable, on 10/10/2007, -10/+15So many WOW fanboys digging everyone down, lol.
Blizzard must have added a digg down faction or something - Mullinator, on 10/10/2007, -6/+11Not entirely certain why people are whining about a potential raise in the level cap, or new items to get. Explain to me again how Blizzard is supposed to "expand" an MMORPG without doing those things? It's as if people want nothing more than new dungeons that offer nothing more than current loot with different art.
WoW is a grind. No denying that. I'm just not sure why people keep whining about it when they should have realized thats what it was when they first got into it. - Akaji, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4@kevin45
Alternate advancement. Sure, it's just level grinding by a different name, but at least it's different (and tends to increase diversity of 'builds'). - atonement, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6i did too but my wow track marks will always remind me of the endless hours wasted
- Akaji, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5They may get $14.99, but the costs of running it probably cut that quite a lot (server farm(s), admins, programmers, etc.). Granted, with the several million subscribers that they have, it'll still be an assload...
- Akaji, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6As someone who's played both sides, I feel obligated to let you know that the Horde seems to do it more.
- orlyfactor, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6lol. owned.
- pak314, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I don't enjoy PvP much but why should they get rid of it? WoW has separate realms for different kinds of playing styles be it PvP, PvE, Normal and their RP variants. Pick a realm that is best suited to your playing style.
- zyl0x, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4That'll teach you to think.
- gJon, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Who ever said he plays for 10 hours a day? Not everyone who plays WoW has no social life.
- gmillerd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5You expected what?
- veeshy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4sword of a thousand truths?
- Aspero, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4If you like the game keep playing it! If you don't like it go play something else. It's that simple... stop bitching about the game play for the love of *****.
- muki, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5The average age of an MMO player is 26. So, with 9 million WoW players, that means there are MILLIONS on non-children playing it. So, no, you'd be quite wrong to call it a children's game.
- LandStander, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5I broke free once, but I got really ***** bored so I just drank during that spare time I would of been playing WoW.
I'm of course kidding cause I ***** hate people like you that associate WoW as being an addiction or something for pre-pubescent teens. What do you do in your spare time? I play WoW when I have nothing better to do, its the same as me doing work around the house, or going to see a movie, or watching TV in that useless time. - aardvarkfarm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Yep. I finally hit 51 yesterday and I'm so glad....finally getting worthwhile quests. At about 47-48 I was tired of it, and only stayed in due to wanting my class quest (hi Blizzard, please don't make rogues go so long without one, especially since you bothered to give us our own faction and hidden area and everything, thanks). Glad I did though...
- Alegis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Broke free myself, came back for Burning Crusade and taking another break now.
You do enjoy the game better after you've taken a break, and take one again once the raiding experience starts to decrease. - Rikushix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3The wow forums are already going crazy with speculation, mods are banning rumor posters left, right, and center. If this shows up on the forums...it will be chaos.
- consonance, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Guild Wars has a title system. For instance, if you uncover 70% of the world map, you get a title (forget what it's called) that shows up when anyone sees you, and you get another one at 90%. Uncovering extremely rare items of a classification gets you a title. However, I can't remember the specifics as I haven't played in a while.
- krayzie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3According to US patents Blizzard just copyrighted "Wrath of the Lich King" on July 28th 2007, so it seems to be real
- Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Nobody cares about your ***** MMO game either, bud.
- GIMLISONOFGLOIN, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4THIS IS SOOOOO HIGHHHH TECHNIIIIICAAAAL!!!!!! NERRRRRR!!!!! NERRRR!!!!!!!!!!!
- inhaler, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3@ Paki
Even WoW had alternatives to the level grind back during original release. Characters were capped at 60, but by increasing the talent trees, providing items and equipment that increased playability and stratedgy, etc. I've played vanilla, and "retired" slightly into BC. Call me old fashioned, but pre expanspansion WoW was more fun, and less about calculations. It's not the grind ultimately which killed WoW: it's that Blizzard Ent. became self-aware of the the same number crunching and stat maxing the player base did, and that was evident Naxxramas on, and when they itemized the T2 item affects.
The answer isn't leveling, it's variety of content. I'd be happy if my character only capp'd at 60 provided there were numerous items to collect that enhanced or altered my playstyle, hence why I played a miner/engineer druid. I liked variety. - joemc72, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Maybe not. From the PTO:
http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=nhsjss.3.1 - Seth024, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Mirror: http://duggmirror.com/pc_games/WoW_Wrath_of_the_Lich_King_FAQ/
Full FAQ in German: http://www.wowszene.de/news.php?extend.1182 - Mullinator, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Well although they are unnofficial statistics if you look at world of warcraft census data every realm shows the majority of players, and I mean a huge majority of players are actually level 70. So assuming they are true they actually are catering to the majority, or at least the majority of customers who pay constantly.
