Bremen_Gaheris: you aren't here every other day predicting the doom of WoW, or trolling in the name of "another" game, so my posts were obviously not meant for you. But I think you knew that before you even made your last post.
Merry xmas

I did but it seemed fun at the time. Plus I read all the trolling and countering in the Rift thread. Good stuff, lol.

Personally, I think Cataclysm is a pretty damn good expansion overall.
The problem I have is that it is just more of the same and I am really feeling it this time.
No, I am not cancelling the game any time soon but the "boredom" factor which usually took me 6-8 months after an expansion, appears to be hitting me 3 weeks after the fact. Not good. I am still slowly leveling one of my alts though and doing the dailies with my main, but I have NO desire to go into Heroics at all, or do much of anything else in the game. That being said, I did hit 200k Gold today 
Anyways, it doesn't matter.
I expect to give Rift a shot when it comes out and SW:TOR should prove interesting as well, even if I just do "drive byes" on those games that last a few weeks or a few months, they will prove to be interesting diversions. I doubt they will be "settle" games for me, where I stay for years...
The good news is that there are about 15-20 good single player games I am really interested in playing in 2011, plus 3 or 4 from 2010 I have not touched yet (Gothic 4, Brotherhood, God of War 3, Allan Wake, etc) so I think a new "lul" in WoW is coming at a perfect time.
Plus, my life is going to be insane in 2011 too, so... getting bored is probably a good thing
I think the major point expansions for Cataclysm will offer a LOT of new content though.

I am in total agreement on all points including this next year being crazy. I just changed jobs (start on Tuesday) making about 33% more money but with a LOT more travel (6 weeks on 2 weeks off). Luckily it will all be US, Alaska, and Canada instead of North Africa.....
SWTOR is what I am really looking forward to this year, if they get it released this year....but Rift is looking really good too. I think I will have to give it a try. Hopefully they will have an open beta of some sort soon.

People complain, you say "speak with your wallet"...
People say they are not resubbing, you call them "doomsayer trolls"...
People say they don't like healing reduced to one button, one spell, every time, all the time, and you jump right in with the name calling.
Korrigan, you are the most pathetic poster on these boards, but I find it highly entertaining to watch you make such a fool of yourself day in and day out.
Don't ever change.
He didn't do any of that in the thread, but it appears that he struck a nerve with you with his one post. You and Arc seem to think you are winning something, but you only end up looking like an *** in yet another thread.

Nothing is going to kill WoW. It's going to die, fat and happy, of old age and natural causes, years and years from now.
Edit: I do agree with the comments about the healing issues at level 85. I have no doubt that Blizz will address those issues fairly soon.

Cataclysm was half about the current players, and half about getting new ones. Why else would they have redesigned the entire first expansion to make it easier to pick up and play - most certainly not for the hardcore fans who have already leveled up many, many characters.
From what I hear, this is going to be a "short" expansion year: expect a full expansion next year. Also expect a lot more content over the coming months.
This expansion was thin because it was a reboot of the franchise. I think it's a gyp that they expected us to pay full price for it, and if they expect to keep all of their hardcore faithful, they're mistaken. But I think this is a revolving door strategy: while the hardcore file out of the building in search of adventure and excitement, so will new players come to the game seeking the same thing - and for those players, WoW is a pretty decent prospect.

Q2 of 2012 if the recently leaked timeline is accurate and they have already confirmed the existence of Titan which lends it a tiny bit of credibility.
