just recently started World of Warcraft:Wrath of the Lich King
Being a Huge fan of Vanilla, I have an appreciation of working hard for items and various rep rewards. I can however appreciate what Blizzard are trying to do - by making the game more accessible for new players. The small touches like emailing you when you are the right level to gain the riding skill - and more importantly letting you know where to find it and how much it costs would surely greatly assist new players.
The Achievement system is also rather fun , trying to gain various feats and seeing whats available, makes you work hard at certain aspects giving you something to aim for.
For now I am greatly enjoying the game, taking my time with some buddies trying out the various new game mechanics and spells that are on offer.
Very Impressed so far - and cant wait to try out the new continent that was added.
Graphics wise - I would have laughed at you if you said that wow would bring a machine to its knees - but that is what WotLK did to my laptop when I pushed graphics settings to Ultra x)
I still play 1920x1200 but taking a very much easier level of detail for my setup - I will be needing a new lappy when I switch over to Cata eventually ^^
