I'm very pleased to see that WOTLK was not even nominated. These people must have some sense!

And they didn't even mention the phasing in WotLK. Hmm.. I have never thought like this before, seems fishy.

If it wasn't mentioned in the blurb about it in the article, it wasn't mentioned on the expansion promotional webpage, but I'm glad to see you've got the conspiracy helmet on.

Just because you don't agree with our choices doesn't mean there's "something fishy".

Pretty straight forward....

2.8 million copies in 24 hours.

I don't play WoW, but it seems no other game can match it's overpowering MMO force...

PS: In case no one noticed, EQ2's expansion actually charted #5 on NPD sales during the week of it's release ...this has never happened for EQ2...yet LOTRO did not even hit the top 50..so, if I had a second vote, it would be EQ2 for showing it still has the power to attract players after a dismal launch and 4 years running.

It takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a viking to raze a village!

If I am reading this correctly, he doesn't say that disagreeing with their choices doesn't mean there's NOT something fishy either.  Hmmm.....   What could he mean by leaving that open like that?  Maybe Stradden is sending us mixed messages.  It can only mean one thing... but what is it??
