So I'm back after a long break guys and I am playing WoW again. I just reached level 90 on my first character today. I am going to get back to writing about my experiences and making new videos but first a few things I want to say.
The reason why I stopped subbing WoW was Cataclysm, so here is some criticism while probably well known I want to get off my chest about that expansion.
Cataclysm while I played it a lot, after a while I didn't feel very fondly for the expansion. Maybe because for me I enjoyed the story in Wrath so much. Enjoyed is an understatement, I fuckimg loved Lich King. It's this familiar story arc of a hero who is corrupted by great power.. The Lich King made you feel something, something real. The broken relationship with Jaina and the sadness she feels knowing she lost a friend. For gods sake the ghost of his father that he murdered appears to him as he lay dying.
What emotion did I feel in Cataclysm? I felt nothing. It is a dragon, a really big bad ass dragon that wants to kill us all. Screw that scaly bastard. The story with Deathwing wasn't involved enough and I remember blizzard admitting to this. We only got to see the effects of his destruction but never got involved enough with who he is to really understand him. The story of Deathwing itself is interesting but it never was revealed to us in such an engaging was as it was in WotLK.
WotLK is and was a tough act to follow. It shows in the numbers as well, 12 million players peaked during Wrath.
