Next World of Warcraft Expansion: Warlords of Draenor

JestersGrind writes with news that Blizzard has announced the next expansion to World of Warcraft, titled Warlords of Draenor. This expansion raises the level cap to 100 and introduces a new world/continent full of zones: Draenor. They're also introducing 'Garrisons,' player-built bases on Draenor that individual users will be able to customize and upgrade. Your garrison will have followers which you can send on missions, and you'll be able to invite other players over to visit and trade. The expansion will also revamp a number of aging character models. Blizzard is also making it so new and returning players can immediately boost one character to the current level cap (90), so they can immediately jump into the new content.

    Has there ever been an MMO where grinding wasn't a requirement?

    GW2 doesn't really do the whole "grind" thing - at least not with anything you actually have to do to advance.

    Hell, just hop in WvW and murder people. You can level up that way.

    I hope it has a butt slider so I can make my Draeni mini-cowgirl's booty more properly Kardashinesque.

    I'm currently writing an MMORGY where grinding is the ONLY requirement! Level cap's 69, armor types are Latex, Leather and None, no questing (just grinding!) Only weapon you can equip is a whip! It's going to make ONE BILLION DOLLARS!
