World of Warcraft free cap staying at 20

pretty soon people will be to busy playing  GW2 to even care. and the dam pandas wont be able to a dam thing about it.

How tight are Blizzard lol. New level cap up to 90 yet new potential subscribers are given the finger and told they are only allowed to sample the game to level 20 which can be gotten to in about an hour. Yeah I can see players being wooed over by level 20..../Sigh.

With SWTOR going F2P or P2W whichever you prefer, Rift lite allowing players to sample the game up to level 20 out of 50, and GW2 being FT2 off the bat, Blizzard have once again put themselves in a tight spot.

I haven't been on my account since about 2-3 months after cata & being a panda is definitely not going to make me want to get back on. Besides, guess I got hacked or something because I just got an email a few days ago saying my account was closed because of exploitative activity XD.

WoW will die when Blizz rolls out Titan

The new expansion gonna ruin the game even more. What a shame.

By the way, those who like to said "Pandaren were around a long time before". Well, that's true. But they sucked back then. I remember them as most ill-fitting characters I've ever seen.

It's 20 because you don't learn any cool abilities until after 20. They're just trying to tease you into buying the game.

How much did gamespot get to write this article? the short version of this article: nothing happened, same old, ohh look, pandas!

well we have gw 2 why bother playing wow.

When you have a game behind Mike o brien the talent in pc gaming who  cares about the current fail  blizzard team

Or you can play a Blizz-like private server for free and progress like in the normal game. 

Only problem is you have to have the game beforehand.

no one cares....

Good for them, but NOTHING lasts forever. I enjoyed WoW longer than other MMO, but less and less with each expansion (Cata held my attention for only about a month). The thing is that I honestly think that a fair number of  people (not all, of course) have so much invested into WoW time wise that they can't bring themselves to stop.

That said I doubt any game will topple WoW anytime soon, not because WoW is great (don't get me wrong it's good but for me at least no longer great) but because people seem not to be able to adapt to new ideas in MMO's. For instance, I have seen games that have tried to get away from the Trinity (Tank, Heals, DPS) and yet even in these games people fall into old patterns and try to shoehorn classes ("well this class make's the best tank..etc").

Also because WoW is the biggest everyone compares every MMO to WoW, which sometimes is comparing apple to oranges, Yes every MMO will have things in common with WOW just as WoW has things in common with Everquest and DAOC which both came before. People just need to learn to enjoy games on their own merits and avoid the WoW comparisons, but I just don't see that happening.

No, at this point only WoW/Blizzard can kill WoW. Frankly I'm liking what the parts of GW2 I have played so far and I could care less if it affects WoW in any way just so long as it is popular enough to stick around, and if GW1 is any indication I doubt that will be an issue.

Bad idea in my thoughts, in general, you can reach level 20 in like less then 4 hours, that's not alot of time to really know if you like the game, considering most of the games action is in it's end game content, raids, and dungeons.There is literally no reason NOT to allow players access to level 60 and all of the vanille wow content, it allows them to really find a character they like,  see more what the game has to offer, without allowing them get alot of major games content.They are losing subs for a reason. The 10 million + they used to spam everyone has gone below it and lowering more and more for a reason. 

I wouldn't play the game even if it did for F2P. Great game, terrible community, cold and unfriendly developers.

Kudos to Blizzard. Just as copying WoW is bad, WoW shouldn't follow other games. It's a trend setter in its domain. The pretender SWTOR now lies broken and waiting to be dragged in shame to a more accomodating (as if) arena. TSW tried a new move but instead of knocking out WoW, the move was ruled illegal and TSW has received a yellow card. GW2 says, "Compete with WoW? What are you talking about?" It's good to see people in charge of WoW see through the hot air at what their game and what their competitors actually are.

I wouldn't raise it either, especially if I still had 9~ million people still paying the subscription.

For all the people complaining about the graphics on wow, do any of you play Minecraft? Yes the Game is aging but it doesn't mean it's dead an should be buried. I still play most days and love playing it with my Partner and Kids, we have 4 active accounts in my house with those accounts being used daily.

I think comments in general should have a thing where it reads what people write back to them.

Maybe then said people would realize just how freakin' stupid they sound...

yeah,yeah the trailers look nice and all but when you go play the game it looks like trash the game isn't like that the in game game play is crap. one game that looks like the trailers is guild wars 2 with awesome game play and graphics and if people are going to say that im a guild wars 2 fan no im not, i am a wow fan but we have to admit it that game is aging and this game  isn't good enough for the softwares and the hardwares  that we have now.
