Surprising Burning Crusade Details for WoW

Heartless Gamer writes "There is quite a few surprises waiting in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. The raiding scene in World of Warcraft is going to dramatically change once Burning Crusade is released. Here's the long and short of it: all of the new high-end raid content will be capped at 25 heads. Indeed, all the raid content that was mentioned in today's demo, with the exception of Kharazan (which is designed for 10 players) is being designed around a force of 25. Blizzard has completely done away with 40-man raiding; Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, and Naxxrammas will still exist, of course. There just isn't going to be any new 40-man content. How's that for earth-shattering?"

    That means 15 people in my guild are now expected to go out and get jobs and girlfriends instead of raiding?!? INSANITY!!

    Why thank you. I always thought Naxxrammas was prescription medication for severe hemarhoids. Good thing I didn't "ask my doctor"! Guess I'll have to find something else to tame my Molten Core.

    we know that WoW is a very important and integral part of everyday life, worth every second and every screamed WTF!

    So if MMO players like games like Eve and not WoW, why are they all playing WoW and not Eve?
    E.g. because Eve has no Mac client.
