Is Cataclysm the Next World of Warcraft Expansion? 259
ajs writes "There has been no official announcement yet, but a number of moves by Blizzard Entertainment seem to indicate that the next expansion for World of Warcraft could be titled Cataclysm. Speculation began when Blizzard trademarked Cataclysm recently, and then later when a test server briefly popped up with the word 'Maelstrom' in its name. If true, the name would fall neatly into the WoW lore and expected expansion list. The Cataclysm is another name for the Great Sundering, an event that created a swirling vortex of water and mystical energies (the 'Maelstrom') that has appeared on the world map in-game since release. There are also indications that early design work included some of the islands in this area, which has long fueled anticipation of a Maelstrom-based expansion involving the former Night Elf noble, Azshara, queen of the Naga and the Goblins whose main city is in the south seas."

I find this statement ironic coming from someone posting an entire books worth of trolling on slashdot.

In my experience, not only is +1 Real Pussy extremely hard to obtain, it is often not worth the effort.

My experience shows that a lot of the top raiding guilds are full of people who don't care about Lore. Since the lore conclusion comes through the end raids, that means the fraction of players that can witness the end of the lore, is made up largely of those that don't care. When I start talking about the relevance of certain parts of a raid to lore I usually get the following responses on vent. "That's nice Tald, now shut up and tank." "Tald, no one cares about lore, shut the fuck up." "Tald, it's cool that you like the lore and all, but you're never going to get a girlfriend talking like that." That last one usually comes from a female guild member. =(

As opposed to, oh, I don't know. Some idiots opening a 30-story portal into a demon world where the demons are eternally on the verge of taking the portal and coming through?
