Holy shit I thought I took forever to level! I even get my skills up, explore, and sometimes pay attention to the quest stories.

Won't get Wrath until I hit 70, which is taking a long time since I rarely play. In fact I quit for almost two years. :p

Pre-ordering was useless... I pre-ordered off of amazon.co.uk and still haven;t recieved my copy. My mate ordered more then he meant to so he gave me a copy which i'm happy about :D
I complained to amazon.co.uk and they have agreed to pay me back what I paid in delivery charges (As I ordered first class).

WotLK so far has been brilliant, I've reached level 58 with my DK through some very fun and unique quests. Blizzard have adopted a completley new way of playing in some ways.
The DeathKnights also look pretty dam awesome anyway.
Tonight, I'll probably have a go sending my paladin into Northrend, assumming I don't get stuck to playing my DK.

It sucks. I'm sorry, blizzard really fucked it up this time. WoW is a joke now, it's got too much "comedy" content now. At the beginning when they only had a bit of fun items and descriptions it was a great touch. At TBC they started overdoing it. Now that you have things like motorcycles, well that's just overkill.

Plus, they didn't add any NEW content, just more of the same old shit with a few extra gimmicks that don't change the game in any significant way.

Lol, I hit 70 in 6 days played time, what the hell were you doing?! :p
It took me 9 days to get to 45. That was when I was younger, and I also concentrated on doing the useless random stuff. Then when I came back to the game this year, I have like a day of play time and am 63. :p

Dropping the whole "comedy" approach. Make the game serious except for a FEW easter eggs.

Go play the Death Knight starting area

I mean, the game has god damn TANKS and mechanical bird mounts. Suddenly a motorcycle is unserious and taints the entire game? The motorcycle is one of the FEW easter eggs that reference the real world, jeez

A guy did it in 24 hours.

He also exploited to do so, by having 6 people in a 5 person instance and killing mobs that gave insane amounts of experience

More power to him I say. He also used mages to summon him around. Things like going back to the city to buy new skills and whatnot.

WotLK is better in multiple ways.

DK are brilliant. Great starting zone and cool spells.

Quest rewards look better! In BC they looked retarded... All queer colours like purple and yellow. They did a good job at making sure items look good.

Items come in more gradually. In BC T3 was instantly replaced with OL greens. In northrend crappy S2 will be replaced by about 71-73, but the good stuff (T6, S4) will last 'till 75-78. Not that that's much better but it's way better then BC.

New mounts are cool, and fit the WoW style, I don't thonk there commical at all (@Void).

New instances are very well made. Nexus bosses all have incredible AI's and are actual challenges! Also mobs look cooler. There not all just re-skins, infact, most aren't.

Level 80 takes for ever to get to, unlike 58-70 which takes like 3 days lmao. They made sure that the quests and mobs gave appropriate amounts of exp.

I think the expansion was a good addition to WoW, and I'm sure most others think so as well, as you don't have these old WoW players bitching on about how old WoW was better and change is bad and 90 minute BG queues were fun, etc.

Actually Athene got to lvl 79 in 17 hours by mob tagging in instances.He was banned 'cus he used a cheat tag add-on.Although mob tagging is perfectly legal.The first REAL level 80 is a Warlock that did it in 27 hours.But most of them miss-out on the game by doing that.Which sucks.

I thought he got unbanned because he actually didn't cheat?

That's lame. He technically does hold the record though, good for him.

And I don't play WoW either, and I don't hardcore. That's why I stopped playing. I don't have the time for, nor do I want to the put the time into, playing WoW.

Hence why Wrath is just a passing curiosity for me.

I play with a friend. Once I hit 80 (probably a couple years from now), we'll arena and BG together. I won't get good gear, but we'll have fun double teaming the shit out of people. And he'll have amazing gear.

Actually, the WoW skins and other stuff are pretty awesome, but the terrain itself bothers me a bit.

Actually, the whole game bothers me. I hate the level system, that's why I don't play WoW.

The level system is the same as any other mmorpg, and it's not to bad, WotLK quests are fun, and not so much grinding. Terrain is good considering it's a huge game. They keep it low res to reduce lag.

Hmmm, it seems I can't +rep Void for hes the last one that I gave rep to so I will just say it in a post.

Thank you for saying this, nothing will ever compare to the orginality of preBC.

Of course not. They'd have to reinvent a whole new game.
