The lameness of World of Warcraft Options

Found this article and I have to wholeheartedly agree with it: http://www.slate.com/id/2153757/?nav=ais

EQ had some cool shit that they did years ago, with an interactive story.


The most notable was when your server's uberguild was able to kill all 4 of these dragons at the-then highest dungeon in the game, you unlocked an ancient dragon that ran around killing everybody. He was pretty much truly unkillable. When unleashed the entire server would get messages of the mighty dragon talking and being pissed for being woken up - he'd then run around the world, tearing ass and just killing EVERYBODY in the path.


This article implies that WoW doesn't have things like this happen, but I've never asked hardcore WoWers if fun events do occur.

This article implies that WoW doesn't have things like this happen, but I've never asked hardcore WoWers if fun events do occur.

to date i can think of at least 1 major event. the gates of ahn'qiraji(sp). its a questline that basically requires a whole guild to do a quest that leads to the gathering, which is a huge material gathering event. imagine the whole server gathering warsupplies for both sides. this leads to starting the war, which is a 8? or so hour long outdoor war that everyone can participate and get stuff from.

this eventually leads to opening the 3rd(of 4) major raid dungeons(40), and the 2nd(of2) minor raid dungeons(20man). and it takes probly 2months total to complete.

check around for a video on the questline that the guild does, some really cool scripted shit. well beyond kerafym.


oh and btw, the article was written to obviously enflame WoW as it is the most popular north america mmo. articles of praise get no attention, but a poorly written slam will catch the eyes of a lot of people.
