WoW Expansion Playable At BlizzCon

Posted by Zonk on from the that-should-be-interesting dept.

Gamespot has the news that the World of Warcraft expansion will be playable at BlizzCon this year. Our own ScuttleMonkey will be there, and should have some sort of first hand impressions for us when he returns from the wilds of the west. Relatedly, MMORPG.com has a lengthy look at the Battlegrounds, analyzing what works and what doesn't in Blizzard's PvP emporiums. Finally (and confusingly), Battle.net seems to indicate that some sort of announcement should be coming our way today. Update: 10/07 23:13 GMT by Z : As discussed in the comments, the "new thing" for today was a redesign of the battle.net site.

    I checked out the .Net and all I found was a some ascii art I needed to highlight to see. It kinda looked like an owl with the word "Narly" under it. If this is some sort of announcement, color me confused.

    Umm... expansions for MMORPGs have a lot of content and aren't just level cap raises. Now if your talking about how those locations should have been available when the game was released and not have to pay for them in an expansion. Well... that's corporate america rushing games out the door, and making the user pay more.
