    @plasticmouse: Have you ever played it?

    As a tank, raiding is the meat of the game for me. Heading into an instance with 25 other people and becoming a well oiled machine working together is fun. Its challenging in it's own right, and becoming stronger and being able to down bosses that you couldn't before is also very gratifying.

    Sure the graphics look a step up from nintendo 64's capabilities but the gameplay and the group cohesion is what draws 11 million others as well.

    I'm gonna pass this onto my housemate. As a little test, cos he's not played WoW for several months now, and I think he's finally got bored of it after 5 years. Other one's proper hyped up for SWTOR too, so I think WoWs lost its appeal to them, and I doubt there the only ones.

    @deanbmmv: Dragon Age made me quit WoW. True story.

    I realized that I beat Dragon Age twice, with a lot more staisfaction than I would get spending much more time than that bringing up a 4th character from 71 to 80. And then I beat Mass Effect a third time (warming up for the sequel) in less time than it would take farming up mats for a single gun for my wife's hunter.

    @deanbmmv: This patch has a pretty good potential to pull people back for a while... the Arthas storyline is obviously the most visible thing WoW has had, at least until the Mr. T raid boss, and finally after five years getting to face him is a chance for a number of players to finally get what they came for.

    Of course, not mentioned is that the Icecrown Citadel dungeon will open up in stages starting today, so the full raid version of Arthas won't be playable for quite a while... but he does show up in the last of the new 5-man dungeons.

    @Fredbearr: Not everybody will really care to look closely enough to see how novel and cool the things are that Blizzard has introduced into game mechanics. Which is fine. I feel the same way about titles other people seem to keep buying.

    My main point is that just bringing Arthas front and center will be enough to draw back in some Warcraft fans who may have gotten bored by the game mechanics but are curious to see how this story in particular plays out in the Warcraft universe.

    11 hugs, one lol... and someone mentioned over 70 falling deaths. So either he's a strict serious guy who never emotes, or... he's a bot.

    Not to sound jealous, it's just that too often I've seen the first people to achieve something huge in an MMO turn out to be bots. 神様 indeed...

    I have a love/hate relationship with Murlocs. They're funny creatures, but I also remember many a time when they'd hunt down my poor little Night Elf Druid and bite him to pieces.

    Druids should never campaign for Murloc protection! WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?
