WoW expansion set ?Follow

I think that when Blizzard does release an expansion for Wow that it will have zones for all existing levels (even 1-10... if you are going to make new playable races then you need to give them somewhere to start playing right?!). I've just started playing the game at all so I'm ok with waiting, but I have to admit that having the level cap boosted would be pretty cool. The only thing that I would be concerned with is that they release a product that is as well thought out and fun as WoW itself.

Agreed.

The lvl cap is just fine. Give us more content, not a higher number on our char info screen. Sheesh.

Yeah, if you don't do anything else but play WoW. For the "responsible" world, it takes much more time than that.

Maybe you guys have forgotten something called TALENT TREES? Raising the level cap 40 levels will create a major inbalance. Take for example my mage. I right now have the ult. frost spell - frost barrier. Now if i was lvl 100 i would also have the ult arcane spell with only 11 more points put in and that would leave 29 into my fire tree. So basically i would pretty much have everything. Or lets imagine something else. The ult fire spell is Combustion which garuntess the next fire spell to crit. Now if you have that spell it is IMPOSSIBLE for you right now to get the arcane spell Presence of mind which makes any spell an instant cast. Now if the level cap was raised a single point you would be able to get both of these. What does this mean? You would be able to do 1.5k damage easily and while running too. So lets see a mage battle after that. Sheep > Pyroblast (1k damage) > Fireblast (Instant cast 400 damage) > Combustion + Presence of Mind + Pyroblast (1.5-2k damage) = One burned mother focka. Especially when you consider that the target wont be able to pull off any spells between all that damage.

I didn't about the history background, but your idea seems to rhyme fine....... I'd love to get a shot at Illidan ,Archimonde, or any of these people that I saw in WC3, come to think of it, Illidan was my fav char ever, lean and mean :P

Any idea where I can read up that history you mentioned ?

I'm not sure if there are any sites that detail this, but simply reading the books strewn across Azeroth will teach you a lot. Unfortunately some of the best are in instances, and with exceptions for SM, chances are you can't simply walk in and read them without a fight.

They have quite a bit of history and lore on the official website. (Going slow right now... patch day...)

Besides just the website they also have many novels, RPGs and even an eBook.

Also, every single Warcraft game comes with some sort of history written in the manual.

Enjoy!

The Titans and the Shaping of the Universe :

No one knows exactly how the universe began. Some theorize that a catastrophic cosmic explosion sent the infinite worlds spinning out into the vastness of the Great Dark - worlds that would one day bear life forms of wondrous and terrible diversity. Others believe that the universe was created as a whole by a single all-powerful entity. Though the exact origins of the chaotic universe remain uncertain, it is clear that a race of powerful beings arose to bring stability to the various worlds and ensure a safe future for the beings that would follow in their footsteps.

The Titans, colossal, metallic-skinned gods from the far reaches of the cosmos, explored the newborn universe and set to work on the worlds they encountered. They shaped the worlds by raising mighty mountains and dredging out vast seas. They breathed skies and raging atmospheres into being. It was all part of their unfathomable, far-sighted plan to create order out of chaos. They even empowered primitive races to tend to their works and maintain the integrity of their respective worlds.

Ruled by an elite sect known as the Pantheon, the Titans brought order to a hundred million worlds scattered throughout the Great Dark Beyond during the first ages of creation. The benevolent Pantheon, which sought to safeguard these structured worlds, was ever vigilant against the threat of attack from the vile extra-dimensional entities of the Twisting Nether. The Nether, an ethereal dimension of chaotic magics that connected the myriad worlds of the universe, was home to an infinite number of malefic, demonic beings who sought only to destroy life and devour the energies of the living universe. Unable to conceive of evil or wickedness in any form, the Titans struggled to find a way to end the demons' constant threat.


Sargeras and the Betrayal:

Over time, demonic entities made their way into the Titans' worlds from the Twisting Nether, and the Pantheon elected its greatest warrior, Sargeras, to act as its first line of defense. A noble giant of molten bronze, Sargeras carried out his duties for countless millennia, seeking out and destroying these demons wherever he could find them. Over the eons, Sargeras encountered two powerful demonic races, both of which were bent on gaining power and dominance over the physical universe.

The eredar, an insidious race of devilish sorcerers, used their warlock magics to invade and enslave a number of worlds. The indigenous races of those worlds were mutated by the eredar's malevolent powers and turned into demons themselves. Though Sargeras' nearly limitless powers were more than enough to defeat the vile eredar, he was greatly troubled by the creatures' corruption and all-consuming evil. Incapable of fathoming such depravity, the great Titan began to slip into a brooding depression. Despite his growing unease, Sargeras rid the universe of the warlocks by trapping them within a corner of the Twisting Nether.

While his confusion and misery deepened, Sargeras was forced to contend with another group intent on disrupting the Titans' order: the Nathrezim. This dark race of vampiric demons (also known as dreadlords) conquered a number of populated worlds by possessing their inhabitants and turning them to the shadow. The nefarious, scheming dreadlords turned whole nations against one another by manipulating them into unthinking hatred and mistrust. Sargeras defeated the Nathrezim easily, but their corruption affected him deeply.

As doubt and despair overwhelmed Sargeras' senses, he lost all faith not only in his mission, but also in the Titans' vision of an ordered universe. Eventually he came to believe that the concept of order itself was folly, and that chaos and depravity were the only absolutes within the dark, lonely universe. His fellow Titans tried to persuade him of his error and calm his raging emotions, but he disregarded their more optimistic beliefs as self-serving delusions. Storming from their ranks forever, Sargeras set out to find his own place in the universe. Although the Pantheon was sorrowful at his departure, the Titans could never have predicted just how far their lost brother would go.

By the time Sargeras' madness had consumed the last vestiges of his valiant spirit, he believed that the Titans themselves were responsible for creation's failure. Deciding, at last, to undo their works throughout the universe, he resolved to form an unstoppable army that would set the physical universe aflame.

Even Sargeras' titanic form became distorted from the corruption that plagued his once-noble heart. His eyes, hair, and beard erupted in fire, and his metallic bronze skin split open to reveal an endless furnace of blistering hate.

In his fury, Sargeras shattered the prisons of the eredar and the Nathrezim and set the loathsome demons free. These cunning creatures bowed before the dark Titan's vast rage and offered to serve him in whatever malicious ways they could. From the ranks of the powerful Eredar, Sargeras picked two champions to command his demonic army of destruction. Kil'jaeden the Deceiver was chosen to seek out the darkest races in the universe and recruit them into Sargeras' ranks. The second champion, Archimonde the Defiler, was chosen to lead Sargeras' vast armies into battle against any who might resist the Titan's will.

Kil'jaeden's first move was to enslave the vampiric dreadlords under his terrible power. The dreadlords served as his personal agents throughout the universe, and they took pleasure in locating primitive races for their master to corrupt and bring into the fold. First amongst the dreadlords was Tichondrius the Darkener. Tichondrius served Kil'jaeden as the perfect soldier and agreed to bring Sargeras' burning will to all the dark corners of the universe.

The mighty Archimonde also empowered agents of his own. Calling upon the malefic pit lords and their barbarous leader, Mannoroth the Destructor, Archimonde hoped to establish a fighting elite that would scour creation of all life.

Once Sargeras saw that his armies were amassed and ready to follow his every command, he launched his raging forces into the vastness of the Great Dark. He referred to his growing army as the Burning Legion. To this date, it is still unclear how many worlds they consumed and burned on their unholy Burning Crusade across the universe.

That was the relevant excerpt "to my fantasy :p" .

Enjoy, I did.....

Ok relax :)

I hit lvl60 a month back, and the game has never been more exciting, it all depends on what you expect of the game.

Supposing you got all the Uber gear you can dream of, and lvled to 60 in two months (unlikely), I think you miss the point of WoW, whether PvE or PvP it's a war between the Horde and the Alliance, hitting the lvl cap merely qualifies you to be the best you can to fight the Horde.

So what can you do when you're lvl60? I personally don't do instance runs anymore, I rather enjoy pvping on a PvE server (kinda regretful of not picking PvP from the start) PvP with all the different options (Raids/Capture the flag/Alterac/one on one) is basically like a very sophisticated Tekken with spells and professions and heals, and you gain rank, and theres an opposing "human" player swinging at you like theres no tomorrow, I don't think I'll get bored of that anytime soon.

But I do recognize that not all people see the same goal behind WoW, most actually seem to have "migrated" from other MMORPGs, and rather oblivious to WoW's history and base. Therefore, even for those, Blizzard is including more exciting features with every patch or two. Hero classes will be a whole different story when they're released.

In addition, I partially agree with you, the lvl60s should be kept at bay, and thats one of the reasons I believe that any future "standalone" expansion due at least 1-2 years from now, should raise the lvl cap and offer radically new material.

I see what you're saying, What do you suggest? In specific
