Our Quest Hub

Patch days very well might be the best days to play and not to play WoW. On one hand, you have a bunch of new content that you would like to experience. Maybe some new quest lines that end up in epic gear, new battlegrounds and pvp gear, or especially new raid instances (firelands) that your guild wants to get server first kills on. Then on the other hand you have the lag. Then more lag. Then the server crashes in the middle of your boss fights, or you get ganked at the new quest hubs,  and so on and so forth. 

You'll see a lot of these at quest hubs

I have quite a bit of experience with the lag, quest hubs, new raids and battlegrounds, but out of the aforementioned things, probably what I have most experience in and has caused the most grief to me are new quest hubs. For one thing, new quest hubs always have a bunch of Alliance there. Then, when you actually go out of the neutral zone, you have to deal with the possibility of being ganked while questing...

A WoW BoM Expansion Pack

Cataclysm Expansion Pack

Expansion packs just might be the thing a gamer looks forward to the most. For those of you out there that don't know what a expansion pack is, it is an addition or supplement to an existing game (also see Elder Butler's post Life is like an expansion pack).

I remember a while back when Wrath of the Lich King launched. I had started playing WoW during the later end of Burning Crusade expansion, so I was ready for more content, and being able to start off a new expansion instead of just starting in the middle. It seemed that once players got to 80 though, there was a lot of QQ (players complaining and crying about the game)...
