The upcoming release of Lich King DateTime:5/23/2012 10:37:34 AM
According to multiple WoW users, many players have been feverishly trying to complete as many of the achievements in advance of Lich King's release as possible.Blizzard recently unveiled the achievement system, however, and that, in conjunction with the forthcoming release of Lich King, has led to one of the most visceral behavioral changes in advance of the expansion. "Everyone is running old content just to get the achievements for it," said Erik Johnson, a longtime WoW player who plans on buying the expansion at midnight Thursday. "We ran a raid through Blackwing Lair, which was once the toughest part of the (original level) 60 endgame, just for the sport--and to get everyone their achievements.

"Achievements are a big deal," said Mike Schramm, an editor of the popular blog, WoW Insider. "So most people are just busy trying to catch up on those--doing the same old stuff, but getting achievement credit for it. Once the expansion drops, we'll all be up in Northrend, and no one will be going to the old instances. So everyone is trying to run the BC instances as much as possible...to finish them up before the crowd moves on. When everyone's at level 80 and you need to run a level 70 instance, you'll be out of luck." "Most of the gear and crafted stuff in the game is about to become useless," he said, "so no one is really buying anything. Everyone's saving their money for what's coming in the expansion...(That) means that if you have a lot of items that you're trying to sell, you won't really find too many buyers for them. Crafted items, especially--usually people are trying to gear up their characters with stuff from the auction houses. But (on Thursday) we'll all have access to brand-new gear, so none of that older stuff is selling." Buy cheap wow gold here ,we have cheap wow gold for sale !
