Cata at what cost?

[daviddoran]

Well they've stated that EVERYONE will see the changes to the old world zone, if they buy the expansion or not, so you just cant be a Blood elf, Draenei, Worgen, or Goblin, cant go to their starting zones either, and cant be a DK, cant go to outland, northrend, or the new 78-85 zones. Only confusion I would see is a new player with a vanilla, or old school battlechest wouldnt be able to make a worgen/goblin, but that's about it.

not sure if they can put all 4 parts on 1 dvd. They did with LK so if you had the keys you had the whole game.
I see Cata at $40. I am leaning toward a new B/chest with 3 parts for $30-40 which I think will sell to new players. Some will go $80 in one buy, but look where the users range now. 13-25? The $40 price point is well placed on store shelves.
David is right on the limits of each section staying the same.

oh, how will flying work? anyone at 60 or will there be a catch?

If they really wanted to be nice to new players but mean to old players, they would make the Collectors Edition include all the games and price at $129 or something. They would still sell out.

Would be interesting to see if they did something new like have a version of Vanilla that had Worgen and Goblins, but only let you level to 60. The main thing is hooking the new player, once the addiction starts, they will buy all the expansions, but convincing a new player to get anything beyond one box is a hard sell.
