We had a rather busy, 17-page thread going with a lot of back and forth on Cata. From my point of view, Cata was a massive disappointment. All my accounts have been closed since February. My husband has sworn off WoW and it would take something pretty massive to get him back. I, on the other hand, have been waiting for anything at all to bring me back and I'm still waiting.

I need a Cata upgrade for my 5th toon, since I was running with my husband when Cata came out and when I go back, I'll need to replace him. I *know* I'm going to need the expansion at some point, but I just can't convince myself to buy it. As much as I LOVE {I really do, I'm masochistic} leveling new teams, the idea of going through the Cata zones and dealing with those craptastic quests again makes me ill.

I love multiboxing and really, really miss multiboxing in WoW. I get ideas in my head for things I want to try or changes I want to make to my setup and I get all giddy about it, but then I think about actually logging in and remember how friggin bored and annoyed I was with Cata. Everyday I look for a Blue post that hints that something worthwhile is happening, but patches are insanely slow to come out this expansion. At this point, I'm starting to think it's going to be Brewfest that brings me back and not anything new.

So, babbling aside, if you intend on playing WoW at any point in the future, it's worth buying, cuz you'll need it before installing the next expansion. It's always worthwhile to avoid paying full price for half an expansion.
