Opinion: MMO Showdown - World of Warcraft

20 Sep 2008 14:52:38 PDT

Written by Ludo
On the whole, I know this will achieve nothing, WoW will continue to sell. Blizzard will never need to change it and other companies will emulate them. There must be an appeal to this type of gaming somewhere, but now, as before, I could not begin to tell you what it is.

Opinion: Behind the Curtain: Save our bosses

Written by Craig Withers
There's a reason that Blizzard aren't removing old world content from WoW, and it's not because they feel bad that the old bosses don't have anything to do with their time it's because they're scared.
