Wow, i really didnt believe that bioware would succesfully put story in an MMO, but crap with 40 novels worth how couldnt they?

If you've played MxO, AoC, or FFXI, you'd see some successful story integration. WoW has deep lore, too, but they incorporated it in a way that makes it totally boring, even if you are truly interested.

I'm glad that BioWare is making a valiant effort to make the game into a cinematic experience. I haven't read on whether or not they use cutscenes for quests/storyline quests, but if they do, I will literally jizz right now, because that may mean that we could eventually get 7-9 in MMO form.
...
But only if it has the same Star Wars magic that BioWare seems to inject directly into their SW games.

...
Fuck George Lucas.

I love WoW's lore, that's why i was so worried about this. They have such an incredible wealth of backstory and characters, and yet they hardly touch on them as little more than references or flashbacks. Sure we meet Muradin and Arthas and stuff in WotlK but BC completely forgot about Turaylon and Alleria, and reading bland text descriptions after gathering 20 pig intestines or listening to some oddly placed voice acting after fighting a boss wasnt so hot either.
