World of Warcraft has proven to be the most successful MMORPG since the dawn of man. Many other companies have tried to create their own MMORPG's that promise new features and are constantly compared to WoW and often promoted as being better but come launch, they crash and burn.

Okay, so now we have established that World of Warcraft is the best MMORPG, (with no facts at all - bear with me XD) it's now interesting to hear the controversy in the General Channel on Azeroth. A majority of the players seem to embrace the thought of a new expansion and lots of new gear and areas to explore, however quite a large number of people are saying that they will quit WoW when the expansion comes out.

Now coming from someone who has only ever played one character (Alonsus, Gabranth [70], NightElf Hunter) I can't appreciate how annoying it would be to raid your tits off in all of the hard dungeons only to have some level 71 nub laugh at how his greens pwn your epixx. While this is slightly unfair on those people who dedicated a lot of their time to getting the best armor available, WoW does need to progress and raising the level cap is vital for many players.

In my time playing I have realised that it's not about just getting to 70. You need to have a strong Guild full of reliable 70's if you want to even dream about raiding Karazhan and the other high level dungeons. This can often prove to be hard, there's no middle ground, it's either small nooby guilds with a few 70's or full time raiding guilds with 100 70's. If you don't fit into the hardcore raiding bracket then you are forced to make do with blues and the occasional epic from instances.



Wrath of the Lich King however provides all of the 70's who arent in a serious guild the opportunity to experience some of the instances that are too hard for them now. For example when the expansion comes out i will be focussing on getting to level 80 then doing the black temple with a few friends in my current guild. If it wasn't for the expansion things like this wouldn't be possible. As for the people who can nail the black temple at the moment....Be Excited! When the new dungeons are released you guys will be owning them and be the first to be wearing the new Tier armor and some of the select few to have actually seen the inside of the high level dungeons.

So! Don't quit, hang in there and keep playing, when the expansion is released, it won't be too long until you and your guildies are back on top.

Thanks for reading and apologies if it was boring :D (first post)
