	The guilt of an MMO gamer Last week, my Warrior hit the Defence cap, I got my first 25 Emblems of Heroism, and I tanked Archavon on 10-man. This week though, I've hardly even logged on.
	It won't be World of Warcraft 2 When Jeff Kaplan announced his move to the company's next-gen MMO, I didn't wonder if World of Warcraft would suffer. I also didn't ponder why Blizzard and Jeff made that choice and if it would mean their second massively multiplayer online entry was going to effective be a sequel to their first.

	World of Warcraft: So easy, a caveman can do it If it feels like World of Warcraft may be losing its luster for your, then chances are that you feel the game has become too easy.
