World of Warcraft: Cataclysm To Launch Dec. 7th

Posted by Soulskill on from the remember,-digital-bear-pelts-are-not-an-appropriate-christmas-gift dept.

Blizzard announced today that the third expansion to World of Warcraft, dubbed Cataclysm, is set for launch on December 7th. In addition to upping the level cap to 85 and including several new high level zones, the expansion will revamp the parts of Azeroth that have been around since WoW's initial launch, bringing the 1-60 leveling experience more in line with the improvements Blizzard has made in the expansions. Cataclysm will also give players two new races to play, Goblins and Worgen, who have joined the Horde and the Alliance, respectively.

  1. No mention of flying? by chemicaldave · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The author failed to mention a primary feature of the expansion: flying allowed in Azeroth. The world was previously not setup to allow players to see the ugly transition between zones, and this is seen as a major update.

    The stock market is highly correlated nowadays. With everyone using computers for analysis and such almost all the stocks move in unison. There is almost no point in buying individual stocks any more. If it weren't for dividends then it probably wouldn't be worth buying anything other than an index stock (like SPY or whatever).

    Kind of sad actually (I say this as a day trader). Not sure how to "fix" it though. The market has turned almost completely into a short-term game.
