WoW Cataclysm: Guild System Evolution
Dec 23rd
The guild is an important part of any MMO’s community. Nevertheless, the guild in World of Warcraft has changed little in the past five years. In comparison with the other excellent gameplay features, for instance, dungeons, raids and arena, the community system in WoW disappoints many players, especially the newbies, soloers and casual players. With the purpose of letting more people enjoy the game’s new content, they added a "Dungeon Finder System" and reduced the difficulty of the raids and dungeons in the latest update, patch 3.3 Icecrown. Though it benefits many casual players, guilds are in danger of being marginalized. In Cataclysm, Blizzard will buff the guild system and give it more functions. Below is information regarding the changes from MMO-CHAMPION.COM.
