I played ICC from launch until the launch of Cata, I am not even slightly regretful about buying the annual pass
It'll be a good few months yet until we're on heroic Deathwing and this our chance to finally beat a heroic endboss while it is still current content, we've always been /JUST/ short of time on previous tiers.

exactly. think blizzard knew about the extended derth of content as they put the annual subscription promo in effect. you bet they did.

Wait, so we're laughing at the people who have guaranteed access to the beta, while people who didn't sign up will have no new content? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

So, instead of running some lame filler raid like halion, i have to play my free copy of diablo 3?

Yeah, sucks to be me.

The annual commitment isn't really enforceable anyways. Just change your credit card to a visa gift card (or in my case, a disposable number for online use provided by Citi) and use up the funds or expire it.

"I think that between the three excellent dungeons we have, the new raid, and Raid Finder that should give people something to sink their teeth into for a few months."

A few months. Just roll that around in your mind. Folks have been speculating about June, which is still over five months away, which I wouldn't consider "a few", so it might even be earlier.

Yup, got an annual pass. I still have plenty of raids to do, toons to level up, oh yeah, and Diablo 3 and aguaranteed Mists Beta invite...
And asteed that looks totally awesome when my priest is in shadow form ;-)

I'm sorry, what were you laughing at?
