Maybe you're addicted to World of Warcraft and spend every free moment immersed in the most popular massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) of all time, wandering through Azeroth doing whatever it is WoW players do. I wouldn't know, but I assume it's a lot of questing and raids.

As popular as WoW has become, I've never set virtual foot in Azeroth. Not once. That's okay because WoW is doing just fine without my participation. At last count, Activision Blizzard pegged the number of subscribers at 10.2 million, or about half a million more than the combined populations of Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Alaska, Delaware, Montana, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, and Washington DC.

Mists of Pandaria's final raid is "The Seige of Orgrimmar". Players from both horde and alliance will fight to kill Garrosh...

I am so glad I stopped playing. The game was fun but for heaven sake its 2 years away from that patch and already we know what the ending holds. I will be unsubscribing from the web from now on.

The Stalker disapproves to a degree. What it does mean that is that off spec might get 2nd priority. So let's throw out this one:

Healer paladin, off spec tank + warrior tank, off spec dps ; dps plate drops, does paladin get it or tank with OS?. tank plate drops, does paladin OS get it or warrior?

Reading more I get where he is coming from. My disapproval is that aspect of "I run a raid for an item for looks" but I suppose that can be fixed with a darkmoon fair look a like item.

And after my almost thoughtfull comment I should say I don't play WoW anymore. Would have been clean for 4 months but I decided to create a free to play account for the long weekend. 2 hours later it got very dusty.

Yes if there is a 9GB patch then you must atleast download the system part to play and then the yellow to play without too much interruption and then the green to play properly.

Why is it a 9GB patch though? When last did you update the game? Because updating from lich king to cataclysm is the only way that could be possible.

But for some reason this landed in my Takealot cart:

Either the spur of the moment, lack of lust for life or the need to waste money now that my hardware is top of the range.

Fun fact of the day: Jeremy Soule (the man behind the soundtrack of, amongst others, Oblivion and Skyrim) was involved in the Mists of Pandaria soundtrack.

Listen to this at around the 7:40 mark; you'll be able to pick up his influence.
