World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Intro Movie

I do not play World of Warcraft, although I have had many gamer friends try and talk me into playing it. While I do like to look at the screens, trailers, and the funny images posted online, I just have no desire to immerse myself in another MMORPG at this time. Today, however, Blizzard released the new Wrath of the Lich King Intro Trailer from Games Con ‘08; and to say that it got me pretty excited for an expansion that I would not normally bat a well-groomed eyelash at is an understatement.
However, that being said, that is the purpose of any great trailer and this one is no exception – gave me goosebumps actually. Plus, it is probably one of the coolest trailers I have ever seen.
Blizzard is pulling out all the stops with their new expansion, what with the necromantic Death Knight as a new character class; the added Northrend map which is the domain of the Lich King; level caps of 80 with new powers and talents; destructible environments; the new “Inscription” profession and many more goodies.
Wrath of the Lich King is expected to be made available for both the PC and Mac on November 3, and if this trailer shows us anything, it’s that gamers are in for one hell of a ride.
I agree! It would be awesome if the game actually looked like that, I might even play it if it did
(no offense to WoW players at all) 
I too got goosebumps for a few seconds before realizing:
1. The game experience will be nothing like this
2. The game will look nothing like this
3. This is really just a way for Blizzard to continue to hawk their brain-destroying MMORPG which is currently consuming half the under-30 population of the United States.
4. They had to make this because a trailer of what you actually spend your time doing in World of Warcraft would be … how do you say … “a no good thing” both in terms of the graphics (which get the ‘it’s okay, it’s an MMORPG’ pass) and the content (which get the ‘it’s okay, it’s an MMORPG’ paass).
