Fucking right. Is this a real year or a Blizzard year? There's at least a 6 month difference between the 2.

Excellent. In 15 months we can change the record from "omg expansions for WoW are so slow" to "omg thx unfinished expansion wtf FUSOE!! Er I mean Blizz".

As much as I used to bitch about the rushed EQ expansions, I would much prefer going back to EQ style content releases instead of WoW's. EQ had more unfinished content released, but at the speed it was coming out it was still far better than WoW's one new raid instance every 6 months.

As much money as WoW is making off it's huge subsciber base, they should be pumping out free content continuously to keep those subs.

A little bit here and there keeps interest more than large expansions far apart.

I think the amount of new subs every week has started to level off and Blizzard/Vivendi wants the cash cow still giving milk.

The best thing they can do right now is pump out content fast enough to make sure their current subscribers don't get bored and leave faster than they currently are.
