What!

Is 11million my only excuse you should play WoW??

NO, dude, there are plenty of other reasons, I can name off at least bunch of other reason why, one sec....

* Rise as a Death Knight - Master the necromantic powers of the Death Knight—World of Warcraft’s first Hero Class. Create a new Death Knight character with a starting level of 55 and break the chains of the Lich King to forge your own destiny.
* Battle to Level 80 - Power your way through new quests and dungeons as you seize ever greater abilities. Assault the terrifying Wrathgate, war in Lake Wintergrasp, uncover the secrets of Dalaran reborn, and much more.
* Brave the Lich King’s Domain - Discover the harsh, icy continent of Northrend, the bleak heart of the Lich King’s empire of undeath.
* Lay Siege to your Enemies - Command mighty siege engines to bombard your enemies and lay waste to destructible buildings in your path.

Borean Tundra:

The sprawling Borean Tundra lies at the far southwestern tip of Northrend, the icy continent also known as the roof of the world. In recent months the Horde has established a dominant presence here as the young and daringly aggressive Garrosh Hellscream has founded the rugged orc fortress of Warsong Hold.

Shortly upon arriving, the Horde met the tuskarr, a walrus-like race of nomadic fishermen. The two groups have since formed a bond, and the Horde has sworn to aid their new allies in any way possible. Garrosh and his orc forces have also discovered the enigmatic taunka, an ancient offshoot of the tauren race that up until now had been thought lost forever.

Beyond the Westrift Valley, which separates the tundra from the mountainous region of Coldarra, explorers have recently witnessed increased activity at a magical site known as the Nexus. Nestled within the valley of Coldarra, the Nexus is a column of magical energy surrounded by levitating earth-covered rings. This ancient site was created by the blue dragonflight, and many adventurers attribute the increased activity here to the reemergence of the blue Dragon Aspect, Malygos. Inhabitants of the region have also noted an increased tension among members of the blue dragonflight, especially regarding the use of magic.

The Alliance has established a smaller presence here as well, and as both factions prepare to launch an offensive against the Lich King and his undead armies, they must first address the more immediate threat: the naga. The sinister serpentine race is using massive generators to melt the surrounding glaciers and ice caps, threatening to flood the entire region.

The Alliance and Horde have journeyed from far and wide to reach Northrend. Yet for these intrepid pioneers, the true challenges still lie ahead.

Howling Fjord

The Howling Fjord sits high above the Great Sea on the southeastern tip of Northrend. It is said that in ancient times the vrykul, a race of half-giant warriors, inhabited the land, founding a vast and prosperous civilization.

Then one day, without warning or explanation, the vrykul vanished, leaving behind only deserted villages and abandoned temples.

Now the Alliance and Horde have come to confront the malefic Lich King and put an end to the Scourge. The Alliance has established a staging area in the settlement of Valgarde, but their presence seems to have sparked off an unforeseen event: the return of the vrykul.

These formidable warriors have begun attacking Horde and Alliance settlements, and many of the vrykul are pouring out of the fortress of Utgarde Keep, not far from Valgarde. The vrykul's motives and their whereabouts for the past several thousand years remain a mystery. Regardless, there is no doubt that the vrykul's sudden resurgence has touched off an ongoing battle for control of the region.

Dwarven prospectors, in the meantime, have uncovered mysterious relatives whose skin is etched in strange runes. These iron dwarves may provide the missing link needed for the dwarves to piece together the mystery of their creation.

On the eastern shore, the Forsaken have arrived, carrying a plague of their own to unleash upon the Lich King. Queen Sylvanas has been methodically and patiently overseeing the formulation of this contagion for several years, and the time has come at last to test its effectiveness against the Scourge.

Before bringing the battle to the Lich King, both the Horde and Alliance must overcome the immediate threat of the vrykul and answer the questions that the warriors’ reemergence has posed. Where have the vrykul been? What do they want? Most disturbing of all, what if they aligned with the Lich King?

Perhaps only time will tell. For now, the battle has just begun.

Connectivity : You must have

there you see.....

What what are you talking about no I didn't just copy/paste that from somewhere else....I wrote it!

Anyways, the point I want to make is, if you want to try and explain why you think WoW is such a great game..

please

Please for the love of god..

put that 11million bull to rest.

I don't care, similar as to how I don't care how many albums Britney Sears sold with her new single, and how the movie Titanic>The Dark Knight still in the box office.

There has to be more than just this argument to why WoW still manages to dominate the MMO franchise, but to keep bringing up this argument only leads me to believe that players are only playing WoW because it's popular.

And I just find that as a really bad reason to continue playing.

cool?

Well i don't care that you don't like the game. No use explaining why it's a good game.

Lol, where did I say I don't like the game....all I'm saying is everyone I've talked to about WotlK will say a couple of things about the game and go straight into trying to explain to me that WoW as "11 Million Subs."

It's starting to sound like a cop out.

Honestly I'm starting to think the only reason people still play that game is because it's "popular." Kinda like how in the 80s everyone had a mullet, the hair cut was ugly as hell but since everyone else had one....it most have been worth it.....

Really depends on your standpoint of WoW lol, i got burnt out after getting a few characters to 70 after TBC came out and i quit... went back because i had an itch to see what WotLK had to offer....no its nothing "new" really still quests and what not but personally i enjoy actually reading the quests and exploring the new lands/dungeons, far as those go im impressed as usual...it really comes down to whether or not you thought/think WoW is a great game... as for me ill play my few characters to 80 and do my exploring and probly get burnt out yet again till the next expansion comes out.

You should play the game you like most whatever it is. Many players like Wow, good for them but that doesn't mean it is the best choice for you.

Still, what was you'r point again?

The reason everyones want's you to turn back is the same reason that someone would say that you should listen to the same music as they do or follow the same serie as they do. And I would only reccomend games I like to you also, but you knew that already.

 I think it is pathetic if you want other to help you decide whether you want to play certain game or not. 

If you want the truth, do research yourself, read all the reviews, buy the game and taste for your own. Don't like it? Just dump. Like it? Just continue enjoy it.

Not only is this statement off-topic and totally unrelated, but it's also hypocritical. You think it's pathetic that people want advice about games, and then in the very next sentence you suggest they go read reviews. Is that not getting others to "help you decide whether you want to play a certain game or not"?
