The two new races are basically just rehashes of existing mob models. No new classes. I can guarantee there's gonna be a lot of gear model recycling. Honestly it really seems like they just don't care anymore. Hopefully they'll prove me wrong.
I dunno, I'm kind of excited about it.
Look at the old posts in the forums:
- Why can't we fly in Azeroth?
- Heroics of old dungeons?
- Update the old zones, Blizz.
- Open up Grim Batol.
- Where's Deathwing?
Now it's:
- LOLORE.
- Flying in Azeroth isn't new content.
- Release new content, not update old stuff.
Seems like it's never enough for some people.
Give them what they want, and they'll ask why you didn't give them more.
As far as the levels go, it's probably a much bigger stretch from 80 to 85 than we would think.
I wish they would've added in a new class, but I can live with just a couple of new races. At least it will expand upon their stories, and I love stuff like that.
I'm glad that they're changing up things in the old world enough so that it's no longer just a place to go to for auction house crap and training alts.
The lore does seem off in the storyline, but it's THEIR story - they can direct it wherever they please.
Another thing that I personally like is that the original Azeroth will be gone. New players will never be able to experience the same WoW that we had, and that's kind of cool to me. It shows a real progression of the game, rather than just slapping on a new continent or world every few years, while everything else stays the same.
Maybe you're right - maybe it'll totally suck.
But I'm not going to make a judgment like that until it comes out and I have the chance to play it.
Besides, Blizzard's success is measured by one thing: our wallets. If they keep getting our money month after month, they've succeeded. And while neither of us play month after month consecutively or religiously, there are plenty of people that do.
