Next World Of Warcraft Raid Dungeon
GrandGranini writes "The New York Times has an interview with World Of Warcraft Lead Game Designer Jeff Kaplan (Tigole), in which he talks about the next raid dungeon after Ahn'Quiraj, the necropolis Naxxramas." From the article: "Naxxramas is going to be the most difficult thing in the game until the expansion pack comes out. It will be the pinnacle, and it's absolutely massive. You'll see this big necropolis floating above Eastern Plaguelands. It's a 40-man raid zone, and it's bigger than the Undercity [one of the main cities in the game]. Things could change, but we're up to something like 18 bosses in there, and they are really cool, too. But it's going to be hard. Really hard. We're hoping to release it in the spring." If you told me two years ago that I'd be reading about an upcoming instance in the sport section of the NYT, I'd have called you a damn dirty liar. May you live in interesting times, indeed.
Mikhail Borovsky (GNAP) - Moscow, Russia - GNAA President timecop and Vice-President jesuitx held a press conference live via satellite from GNAA US HQ in Tarzana, CA where they announced full cybermilitary support of the German government following the German injunction against Wikipedia. From the German Wikipedia site at www.wikipedia.de,
This roughly translates as, "Dear friends and comrades, Wikipedia has been shut down as of January 17th, 2006 due to a court injunction by the government of Germany, due to extensive support by Wikipedia for the Jews and the state of Israel".
This type of support was made illegal in Germany in 1939 by the Berlin Pact, signed by Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin. Angela Merkel, chancellor of Germany has announced that this injunction will not be lifted until Wikipedia stops supporting "Die Juden".
"We also feel this injunction came in due time, as Wikipedia is being overrun by articles pertaining to non-notable blogs with completely useless information (or "blogs"), which are also illegal in the Great Republic of Germany. We are pleased to receive the support of the Gay Niggers, as they have already declared war on the blogs, and know how to defeat this communist ideal before it can become a threat to freedom," said Mrs. Merkel.
About Germany
"Bundesrepublik Deutschland" was founded before the middle ages by the Visigoths. The government was non-notable per above until the late 1930's, when Germany underwent an extremely positive and successful cultural revolution. Today, Germany is a beacon for free economy and a land without Jews.

For those of us who don't play World of Warcraft, can somebody explain what a "raid zone" is? What are the "Eastern Plaguelands"? What is the "Undercity"?

FAG!!!
(Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)
People just want something to do once they reach the end of the game. The rewards are secondary, but you're so demented you can't even remember games are supposed to be fun.
What is a "dungeon" in this game? Is it like a real-life dungeon (Tower of London, Abu Ghraib, etc.), where people are imprisoned and tortured after being caught doing something wron? Does "beating the dungeon" mean escaping from it? Or is a "dungeon" just another area of the world which requires one to find treasure, fight some bad guys, and so on?

Didn't you hear? Blizzard has decided not to release SC2 until all the current fans are old and grey and will most likely die before finding out what happens to all our favorite characters.
I don't care what youre doing so much as the idiotic way you're doing it.
Considering that most MMORPGs "force" you to start playing with other people (what do have against playing with other people, anyway?) much earlier than that, you should be glad WoW caters to the pointless "single player in a multiplayer game" model at all.
If you think grinding the same enemies for hours with 40 other people yelling at you for heals is the only way to play an MMORPG then you need to stop playing WoW.
If you think end-game raiding is like that, then you need to stop playing WoW. End game raids require team work. If you always seem to be getting yelled at "for heals" then maybe you just can't play the game.
There is no "casual/hardcore" debate. It's really a "single player/multiplayer" debate, and not surprisingly, the people who are willing to play with other people will always win when it comes to new content. If you want to play games by yourself, go play something else. WoW will always be, at its core, a multiplayer game. Just because it's possible to play through it solo to level 60 doesn't mean that's the way it's supposed to be played.
Funny I gave up on WoW because of the grind... Played it (on and off) for a couple of months, got as far as level 12 and just couldn't get any money for armour etc., the grouping channel was dead and all I had was a long list of 'take this item to this NPC' quests which are quite frankly boring as hell once you've done about 100 of them.
If it gets *worse* at higher levels then I'm glad I stopped playing.
Guild wars... strategy? They must have changed the game a *hell* of a lot since I played (just after release).
The one I played was basically a single player WoW with no real interaction (since once you left a city it instanced you) and lame quests. Hell, they'd even ripped off the WoW graphics!
Might go back if they've redesigned it a bit...
God I wish I had mod points for this troll.
That's the whole philosphy behind Guild Wars. There's a max level no character will ever surpass (even after expansions are released) and there's "perfect" equipment that will never be surpassed. Starting from ground zero you can make a PvP character that's max level with close to perfect equipment. And you know what? The PvE player hordes complain about the level cap, complain about the max items. They want their characters to continue gaining power into infinity. People seem to *enjoy* mindless monty haul grinding--which is why EQ and WoW are so much more popular than Guild Wars.
