Warlords of Draenor Trailer: Wish You Were Here

[McNeil]

Aaaand another person on the "watched it while talking to myself and ignoring what was in the video" list.

It wasn't a "buy a 90" video. It was a "if you get the expansion, you'll get a 90 for free" video.

Didn't say it was about the free boost. Just said "Boost to 90". Which would be the paid 90 and the box 90.

Did YOU watch the video..?

Their advertising and marketing department must be where the extra 40% staff increase went. This trailer and that store pet trailer had a lot more work put into them. Shame they couldn't give us more dungeons next expansion. I wonder how all of these hype revenues get leaked so easily? Hmm.

Level 90 boost gives free awesome mustache! Sign me up

[TirielWoW]

I thought this was totally adorable. I loved the gnome! All by himself, without his friends. He wants to play with them, but he's so low level!

Honestly, even tho I think that boosted 90's are going to be hell on wheels for a while, this commercial was too cute for words.

[howlbloom]

Haha, this was too cute, I can't wait for the pre-order!

[Mikehuntz]

The video was nicely done but I thought that Gnome was a rogue. Until he was equipped with a sword and shield. My mind was blown right there.

You guys do know that Blizzard said that there will not be any "new" MMORPG players that play wow right? that the only people that remain that would play an MMORPG are previous players and/or people who play end game of other MMORGP's. With that knowledge their only clear option is to (with a purchase of Warlords get them to 90 so they can do the new content.

Under the same logic, I could say that about ANY MMO because most people who play MMOs have played - you guessed it - other MMOs.

That is nothing more than a flimsy ass excuse to justify creating official pay-to-level services as a cash grab. No other MMO, not even the most cash happy F2P one, lets players pay to completely bypass the leveling system. None. And they sure as HELL don't offer "free" max level boosts to subscribers who buy expansions.

Blizzard seems to realize they're on their last legs and they have to do anything to boost the profit margins since each expansion sees incrementally less players. And please don't try to trot out the +200k numbers when that was A) post-Blizzcon bump, B) holiday quarter, and C) still lower than Burning Crusade's sub numbers. Mid-Warlords, at this rate, they're going to be at vanilla level numbers and they know this so they put in garbage like this to try to eek out what life is left in the IP.

So we finally got our gnome trailer!??! WOOT!

[Venziir]

Interesting that their first trailer has a character flying to get to Draenor... Where they will be unable to fly for 6 months.

... Watch it again, he lands inside the throne room in SoO...

Could be them giving a nod to a free customization after the new models are implemented.

Yeah, could be a nod to customization. It does seem like a big hint of the gnome getting a free moustache.

[Zoaric]

Love that he gained a mustache. XD

[Theendgamelv3]

Huh, I thought if you bought WoD you get a free 90. So does this mean if I buy WoD after it drops I won't get a free 90?

[Omians]

Huh, I thought if you bought WoD you get a free 90. So does this mean if I buy WoD after it drops I won't get a free 90?

you will still get the 90 its just advertising that they're doing it early if you preorder

[Sughs]

I think they are wasting too much time in this "commercials" for paid services and mounts. It was kind funny tho.

[Omians]

no its a commercial advertising what you get for preordering warlords, and its not hurting any development time is just giving someone access to machinima toolsand the gnome a model as well as the voice actor that does the racial intro scenes something to do, its not pulling away any development time

[Blindman213]

Anyone else notice the Human paladin from the postcard disappeared?

[MrExcelion]

no its a commercial advertising what you get for preordering warlords, and its not hurting any development time is just giving someone access to machinima toolsand the gnome a model as well as the voice actor that does the racial intro scenes something to do, its not pulling away any development time

Yeah they can easily outsource commercials

[Deleted]

Holy shit that was great advertisement.

[rickhunterr]

It looks as if Gnome 90's boost comes with a free human porn stash. AWESOME!!

[lokinrond713]

i love these end of the xpac deals with little caveats like this
