World of Warcraft Details Announced

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the undead-and-trolls-and-orcs-oh-my dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The last of the races and classes for World of Warcraft have been released. Check WorldofWar.Net for a good summary of the details." They've added new classes for rogue, priest, and paladin, as well as hero classes for high-level players. There's a few new races as well, such as trolls and gnomes.

  1. Blizzard Makes Quality Games. by LordYUK · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Hands down, I have never not had fun with one of their games. Regardless of what their legal department does (which they probably have zero control over, since Vivendi most liely makes those decisions) I will always buy their latest and greatest...

    WoW, I cant wait!!

  2. Most important line of the article by skyknytnowhere · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, not that article, but the site:
    "Blizzard wanted a MMORPG where the player felt legendary and heroic from the first day."

    This is exactly what most MMORPGs currently lack, the feeling that you character serves no purpose in the game, and that you need to do a whole lot of stuff to get higher. If you enter the game feeling like a Level 1 Hero in WC3, and then work up to being a Level 40 Hero... well, thats exactly the kind of game I can see myself playing. The goal of the game should be to ensure that I'm having fun from the start, and that my fun either scales, or changes in perspective/paradigm as I play. It looks like they're aiming for that here.

    I didn't think I'd ever pay to play an MMORPG again after Planetside, too.
