If they raise the level cap again, I feel that will be the end of my wow days.

On to Conan...

Germany just rated a game called "World of Warcraft: The Wrath of the Lich King". I think that settles it.

definitely fake. in fact, I think I remember this exact same rumor "leaking" months, if not years ago. it's not gonna happen, this time around anyways.

if I was a betting man, I'd say we're heading north next.

As far as who we'd face in the Maelstrom, it'd probably be Nagas.

If you're going to leave wow because of an impending level cap raise you should give up on mmos all together. In the current state a lvl 70 has no real goals to strive for in most cases. The level cap should be raised with a new exp, otherwise there will be no sense of accomplishment completing the new tasks... it will just be about the money.

As a second note I think that content maybe a suitable reason to leave wow. Personally I think that Northrend appears to be a much more diverse area as far as possible content and story is concerned. If Maelstorm is the next exp I would probably skip over it until something better is released

My sources say....WAIT TILL IT IS RELEASED BY BLIZZARD AND THEN YOU WILL KNOW FOR SURE!!!!!

Speculation only brewds hatred towards the oposition.

Hope that helps everyone out.

They better not raise the lvl cap to 80 and offer a new class. That would be horribly cruel.

LEVEL 80! Wow and you thought Ganklethorn Vale and Ganksbrad Foothills were bad now...

Still hoping that the expansion freshens up level 20-40 zones like the previous one did for level 1-20. It's what everyone wants, anyway.

yes, i will. it would be different if all i had was one character. i took the time and got 2 to 70, 1 to 68 that i'm trying to get to 70 fairly soon. not to mention that i've been playing for over 2 years and i'm also just starting to get tired of the grind. my problem is that the entire game is based around leveling. i had this conversation with my friend who played EQ for many years. the mindset of WoW is "Get to the highest level" and then do whatever. he mentioned how in EQ, while it was a much greater grind to accomplish things, the mindset was not based around leveling.

maybe it's just an excuse to move on to something else, but i really just don't want to have to level any more in wow. i could handle it if i only had 1 character, but i can't let go of the fact that i have 3 that would be so close. i'm not some kid that has off for the summer and nothing to do all day. i have a job, friends, girlfriend, and soon to have my own house to take care of. I think i just need something new. rant over.

btw, hasnt' it been said by blizz that the level cap would have to be around 90 or so to be able to take out arthas? based on that, i'd say maelstrom would be a more likely expansion than northrend.

since i can't edit: i think i'd be ok if the cap was only raised to 75 instead of 80. maybe.

I've actually stopped playing my main entirely because it somehow feels stupid to quest on a character that can't level any further. So I say, increasing the level cap is a good thing for us casuals who don't plan their lives around a raiding schedule.

That said, I think Northrend is way more likely, given all the evidence (and by that, I of course mean rumors) we've seen.

Their first priority should be to make Azeroth far more interesting to new and lower-level characters.

Put yourself in the shoes of a completely new player and imagine how the old world must feel to them as they wander from zone to zone practically playing a single-player game. It's painful to level up an alt at this point, even with having guildies to play with, and new players have it even worse.

For my money, I'd much rather have Blizzard come up with something innovative rather than merely add more-of-the-same content and a higher level cap.
