It's that time of year again. Yes, the late summer brings high temperatures, back-to-school sales, and the annual nerd pilgrimage to the Anaheim Convention Center for Blizzcon. This year the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion, Cataclysm, was revealed; which includes two new races, flying mounts, a world-wide event changing the landscapes for all of Azeroth, and a level-cap raise to 85. Yeah, it's that awesome. So let our guest correspondent Morgan Web get the answer you want direct from the source, and check out the spectacle that was Blizzcon 2009!

    Interesting, hadn't ever really looked at Ultima Online. Kinda disappointed with the graphics. Looks like Diablo 2. Kinda sad for a late 2009 MMORPG. You'd think with Mythic putting out Warhammer online with it's high-end graphics that they could do better than a top down early 90's RPG graphics engine :(. But they did say it was "political" too, sadly, WoW is falling victim to these same people who won't be happy til we're grinding through AQ and MC again, in rehashed tier 1 and tier 2 gear, this time in 10 and 25 player settings....

    guys, it's blizzard. they just made the announcement at blizzcon and they're one of the most tight-lipped companies in the business! as soon as there's more information about the expansion rest assured, we will report it.

    stat, two things: First, we only comment on the female hosts because we are a bunch of under-sexed dudes. Second, you are right this is some of the latest news on the most popular MMO, I am just asking for more. The average running time for the MMO Report is just under eight minutes. They did like ten minutes on Champions, they did over twenty minutes on Warhammer. Hell, last week they did ten minutes on a guild convention. Ten minutes of watching guildies play FPS's. There were two days of BLIZZCON! I can't get ten minutes out of that? I know the new starting areas for the new races were playable at Blizzcon. No screen shots? In fact, I don't think we saw any gameplay footage at all in this episode. G4, I am throwing the gauntlet down. Send me to Blizzcon next year and I'll get you at least eleven minutes. And I will even get good ska music to play in the background.

    Lol... I love how people comment on our Co Host's appearance, only when it's a female. I don't understand how people can be unsatisfied with this, This is basically the latest news, on the most popular MMO, What more could you ask for? Do people expect 20 Minute Episodes, on Blizzcon, when there isn't 20 minutes worth of stuff to talk about, Not to mention, this is a interwebs-show after all, gotta keep it brief.

    Is that really it? Did everyone else see the same thing I just saw? Two days at Blizzcon and all we get is a lame four and a half minute report with all of the same crap we've read in every article that has been posted about Blizzcon this week. And it wasn't even a full 4 and a half minutes. It was cut in with this lame ska music from 1997 so it was more like 3 minutes. They couldn't add a little intro from Schreiner? Morgan Webb is still hot though.
