Surprising Burning Crusade Details for WoW

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the good-move dept.

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?"

    Why this is on Slashdot? I'm sure this is on a ton of WoW-centric messageboards, and rightly so, but this is a forum on science and technology, not about one particular game that just so happens that the site owners play.

    Not earth shattering at all, considering I find WoW pretty dumb, thank you very much. And from an outside perspective, 15 less players isn't that big of a deal, but thats just me.

    So if you're one of those kids who plays WoW for hours every day, what else have you accomplished with your life? What outside projects, interests, and relationships have you developed that you can talk up when you're at parties or interviewing for a job?
