Not to mention Blizzard (those profiteering geniuses) still have the Battle Chest at $40.
I mean - really? For a game that's what, ten years old?
Sigh. Thanks, Blizz.

And, since I would be buying a copy for each of us (to play together), that's something like $90 I'd be spending.
It's a hard purchase to justify when other games that old are either antiques or selling for a few dollars. Still, I'm not saying that I am not tempted.

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.

They're made for flies. ;)

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.

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.

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.

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...
