Scream Makanians, as loud as you can!

Before I paste the links, read thru these points coming out in the expansion.. and SCREAM with joy!

1) 40-man raid content will be reduced to groups of 25 or 10

2) Difficulty level from 60 to 70 can be selected for the bigger instances, for more challenges.

3) PvP will recieve a major overhaul, known as "Arena PvP", team-based groups of 2,3 or 5.

4) No more ladder system for PvP, honor points are used as a currency to purchase PvP rewards.

5) Paladins will be focused into a secondary tank + healer, with a new skill that works like "snap-aggro" ability that is castable on party members, the party member affected will have all aggro released and given to the paladin.

6) Shamans will be turned into a DPS + healer hybrid, with a new skill known as Bloodlust, which is a party buff that increases the speed of melee attacks and reduce casting times for a short duration.

THE CASUAL PLAYERS ARE HAVING SOME LOVE FROM BLIZZARD~!

With that in place, can everyone smell their Tier 3 soon? =P

Development & labours costs - very low b'cos all from India.

Maintenance costs - very low because otherwise the servers won't be so laggy.

Production costs - very low because all the DVDs print in China or Vietnam.

Marketing costs - very low because already got a huge installed base to cannibalize from, thru in-game word of mouth advertising.

Distributor profit share - relatively low compared to what they rake in now, 'cos of long release time.

Taxes - none; because they sponsor Bush's election campaign. All those who support Bush are ally rogues.

Truth in all of the above - none; because I just woke up, need to fulfill my daily quota of anyhow *pom*
