Warcraft Retrospective: Part III is ready to WoW

by Alexander Sliwinski { Nov 13th 2008 at 12:00PM }

GameTrailers continues its Warcraft Retrospective by delving deep into the World of Warcraft, where the women are strong, the men are good looking, and all the children are above average. The episode covers how Blizzard employees conspired in the small town of Lake Wobegon to make a designer drug that would go on to hook 11 million people in its clutches. Clearly, Illidan was right: we were not prepared.

Wow, people interested in this piece actually made it this far? Seriously, don't y'all have a new continent to pillage and level cap to reach? For those who can't explore Northrend because they're stuck in a cubicle farm for the rest of the day, the video -- a cheap WoW fix -- can be found after the break.

One can't deny the impact WoW has made on the gaming community. I haven't played it myself, but it does look great. I'm not sure I can pay 8 pounds a month to ruin my life though.

If all the children were above average wouldn't that make above average the average?

Too bad the beginning raid videos are of level 70s running level 60 instances. 40 mans were truly epic but it seems almost impossible to get that many people together nowadays.

I still have a screenshot of my guilds first Onyxia kill, where only 6/37 are alive at the end (which means we would've lost if the battle had continued for only a couple of seconds longer). I was one of the many 'tanking the floor.'

40 man instances are the footprint from the ol' EQ days where MMOs were for the truly "Hardcore".

WoW is not that game anymore and has thankfully adapted. With WOTLK almost all dungeons can be done in under an hour so it forces strategy amongst the group, not just power in numbers.
