Wow, quite a surprise to see this especially after all the flak someone got on the EU3 forums for asking for a demo. This makes me a very happy camper, though; not sure if I could have waited until the 23rd for me Collector's Edition pre-order to get here.

I think the saddest part is that I actually believed the article. The MPAA/RIAA have gotten to the point where nonsense such as that is no longer surprising.

My favorite change is the nerfing of +weapon skill that will result in a loss of %15 of white dmg dps for combat rogues and a good chunk of dps warriors.

Rogues got two useful things out of their class review, opportunity moved to tier1 and combat expertise (+5weapon skills). Now, our 25pt combat talent is worthless. Yippee!

Well, maybe 'favorite' isn't the right word.

Been anxiously awaiting the release of this game for about 4 years now, very glad to see it's so near =)

That 'Bully' article is by far one of the most biased news articles I've ever seen and I watch Fox News from time to time.

Opinion =/= news.

I think Mr. Nash would very much enjoy Victoria: An Empire Under The Sun.

What really irritates me is that Blizzard doesn't seem to care what will happen to guilds built around fielding a 40 man raiding force. What's going to happen to the 15 people who won't be able to raid with their guild anymore? And recruiting more people to run two raids at the same time isn't a good idea: I was in a guild that ran two raids at the same time and the amount of drama created by it eventually led to the second raid breaking off and forming a new guild. Actually, to run with that story, they tried to form a second raid group again and it worked for about 3 months before the secondd group again broke off and formed its own guild.

Basically, with the change away from 40 man raids, Blizzard is screwing over a huge number of guilds and they don't even remotely care.

/will probably stop playing WoW because of 25-man raids.
