WoW Expansion Details

I'd say it was a definite hoax.
I have never heard of a MMORPG where when you buy the expansion they move entire populations from one server to another.  In all implementations I've ever seen and heard, there is just something that stops those that haven't bought the expansion from getting to the new content areas (Asheron's Call used a portal that looked for a flag in your account and if it saw the flag, you were ported there, if not you weren't).

I agree. Looks like somebody was bored in Mr. Johnsons poetry class and typed up an *outrageous* wish list. Imagine lag in public PvP around the Crossroads with weather efects. Not gonna happen. Not in a game that has had to disable running animations, simplify polygons and dumb down textures to not bring itself to the lag crawl of a slideshow. Then, the other thing I was thinking was how in the heck could you balance all those changes without 2 more years in testing.

However, some parts of the game are unlimited and that does relate to new content and quests. Ideas for expansion (IMHO) should come the the WCIII and Frozen Throne story line.
