Second newsflash: all the potential new players of WoW should be in Outland and Northrend. It's impossible that they are actually enjoying the new content of Old Azeroth.
You've also read it here first.

LOTRO: Lifetime account, playing very casually.

Holy crap are you really this stupid?

Again: Where is the new 58-80 content? In Azeroth? In your head?

As easy as leveling is now, it stands to reason that we'd be seeing an influx of toons in Outland and Northrend if there were new subs leveling up. Or are all these new subs simply leveling via the dungeon finder? Or maybe they're all rolling new toons at level 60? Or maybe there aren't many new subs?

I'm not sure how to make it any easier to understand sans crayons and construction paper.

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

Well . . . I'm in Outland now. Being that I only played Horde side, and now am Alliance again, all the Outland content is new to me.


Also, never played Wrath either, so that will definitely be new too. Well, again, to me.


Does that count?

As I've said before, Blizzard makes great business decisions and questionable game design decisions. When in doubt, they make a decision based on business metrics even if the result is detrimental to the overall fun of the game.



Ummmmm, duh? Show me a company that does the opposite and I will show you a company that won't be around for as long as WoW has.

It actually physically pains me to agree with Korrigan, but you are expecting brand new players to reach 58 in 3 weeks? Leveling is easy, but nowhere close to that easy. I would be shocked if the percentage of truly brand new players (no prior knowledge of the quests/zones/game mechanics/etc.) that raced through to BC content inside of 3 weeks is greater than 1%.

No. I just came back, and I started over on a new server to join a friend, however, so I am not dealing with the new Cata end game stuff. I'm just leveling in the revamped old zones...


Having a lot of fun right now, but that may change. I always get worn out and leave for a while only to come back later.

This is me. My friend and I recently came back, just before Xmas, and we're only in our 40s so far. We'll be in Outland/Northrend soon though. Maybe you'll see an influx in February?

Cliff Note: The end game sucks too much of my life to play. Don't have the time.
