Nine months later...

The Pandaria expansion was technically good, but I didn't care for it.  I mean, I liked it, but it wasn't enough to save the game for me.  It became just another reminder that:
  • Warcraft isn't the game it once was
  • Arthas is dead, and nobody cares about the other storylines
  • The community is still terrible
On a bright note, it's more possible than ever to play on a dying/dead server and play in virtual anonymity because of the raid finder.  If you're the kind of person who likes virtual worlds but doesn't like the people who live in them, this might have some appeal.  More than ever I am told that the population has migrated to a few active servers, leaving everything else abandoned.

In the mean time, I have been playing League of Legends (balanced, fun pvp ftw) and MLB The Show 12.  I bought MLB 13, but it felt terrible and I immediately went back to 12.  Gamestop can have my MLB 13.

Soon I will be buying a copy of Guild Wars 2, and hopefully that will be fun.  It comes highly recommended by friends and my son, so I'll give it a shot.  If nothing else, the lack of subscription cost is very appealing.
