Hrmmm, I'm not sure about this one. Whilst is nice to see new additions to be made to WoW there is a sense that Blizzard may be worried their previously-untouchable crown has a good chance of being usurped - and as a result one can't shake the notion that new additions may end up cluttering the game. The presence of Keeps suggest the game is an interesting throwback to the series' RTS roots but it's unclear what practical purpose it offers. Instant leveling to 90 is enough to raise eyebrows but what I want to know is does profession leveling come with it?
But it is the setting that seems of greater interest: it seems to be taking at a time-traveling bent as players get to travel to Draenor - which was the previous name of Outlands - and meet historical figures. Okay a) what, people actually play WoW for the background? (actually they do and I know one such player) and b) so there's nowhere left for the people of Azeroth so we're resorting to time-travel? How much are Blizzard paying their writing staff? Or this the setup for an eternal loop/predestination paradox?
Of course, it's all too early to tell how this new expansion will look and, at this stage, the new features are relying on speculation. I've always maintained that the game becomes less interesting the further one gets from level 1-60 so I don't have high hopes. Still you never know...
