Matt: Compare "World of Warcraft" to a circle: One goes around and around forever, while the other is just a line on some paper. Correction -- one is about to go beyond forever with the release of an expansion that will add a landmass roughly as big as the one Blizzard bundled with "The Burning Crusade". The design team is adding scads of new content and putting some shine on the visuals, but not really pushing any boundaries.
Darren: I'm a little nervous about the newest "World of Warcraft" expansion, but for reasons other than what you'd expect. I had to go cold turkey. I had to quit playing "WoW". Then Burning Crusade came out. And I was back. This time around, "Wrath of the Lich King" kicks off by opening up a new continent and providing a continuation of the story from "Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne". That means new lands to fight over (for the horde!), more high-level quests, and, of course, another class -- The Death Knight. I think I might need to disconnect my Internet until the urge subsides again.
