Anyone else have no interest in the expansion?

I don't want starbucks making my lasagna either thank you very much.

Mmmmm, Starbucks, yum.

I love WoW. Wait I love Starbucks more. Mmmm, coffee, mmm, WoW.

Er, cannot wait for the expansion. Wish it would hurry up already. I'm a slow casual player that takes my time with WoW, so I've got plenty of content to enjoy yet.

Seriously, I get a big psychological caffeine hit when someone mentions Starbucks :-D.

<~ Worked as a {kick ass} barista at Starbucks for 2 years. I made my husband buy a proper espresso machine when I moved in so I could settle in with a real latte every morning. I'm such a snob now. If I don't make it, I don't want it.

Damn, your coffee must be good. Can you make one for me and send it to New Zealand? You might need one of those thermal mugs to keep it hot on the trip over...

played wow for 4 years now and not tired of it at all, looking forward new expansion undead druid pwn i havnt played any mmo at all ohh well i played warcraft 1-2-3 and wow.

I havnt boxed for that long so i guess it help keeping up the challenge and the fun ingame:P

I'm looking forward to it big time - been playing wow for a few years and I do get bored with instance farming and dailies (which I just dont do anymore lol) - when it gets to max(boredom) I just jump on my lock for some BG fun. Northrend is a bit boring though, although I do like the music in grizzly hills and I hate that bloody zoning issue while flying!

Couldn't give a toss about Star Wars but I am pretty excited about the Star Trek and Star Gate MMOs which will be played on maintenance nights only

[Fat Tire]

I am looking forward to the expansion.

I will still play as long as my wife still plays and I dont think she will quit until they turn off the servers. My only hope for the expansion is that leveling from 80 to 85 is not horrible like Wotlk was 70-80. Looking forward to Rated Bgs and Goblin shamans!

Also Jafula, I will send you starbucks every morning if you will send me some Jazz apples every morning. Best apples on earth! Gala are my real favorite but these hybrid apples for once kinda turned out pretty good.

Personally - can't wait for the expansion. And you can bet I'll be queueing up at midnight the day it goes on sale.

Goblin Shaman here I come!

Cheers,

I'm tempted to reroll goblin when the expac hits because I'm so damn tired of looking at these HUGE COWS all the time. Wish a different horde race could be druids... WTF?!?! I' zoomed out to max distance and still can't see what's going on?

[Redbeard]

Im excited, as long as they make path of the titans cool.

For people who are not excited to "regear and relevel" what do you want to do ? I dont understand... would regearing and staying 80 through continuned dungeon releases be better?

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm more excited about Diablo III.

I look at the new expansion, Aion and the new Star Wars and my reaction is generally "Meh." They feel like the MMO crowd doing what the MMO crowd does. There's a formula and they're banging out more content. The early teasers, the invite to betas and the attempt to build a community pre-launch are also formulaic. I've just been there and done that too many times to get excited.

Unlike the new stuff, the early Diablo III press feels like they have more respect for the game's tradition. They put old silly features like dropping stuff on the ground to trade into the game for that nostalgic rush.

My complaint with WoW and the WoW-wannabes is that they are all seeking market domination by diluting the game into generic fluff. The new "bring the player not the class thing" makes me wonder why we even have classes. My tanks are all pretty much the same, one or two skills separate them, as are all my ranges casters. They have one or two defining skills but the class trees and the ranged dps spam are nearly identical.

What makes me really nervous is that the "A team" left WoW for the next gen-mmo. The "B team" is now running the show. The next expansion has a "B team" feel. Not a lot of innovation, some fan requested stuff, and a lot more formulaic content. 5 more levels of collection quests, kill quests, delivery quests while the "A Team" tries to dream up the next big MMO innovations.

I'll play it. I'll hope they have a couple killer instances and maybe a new killer AV. But my expectations are pretty low.
