I'm finally over my addiction. This game at level 10 is basically the same thing at level 70 or now 80.
You kill 20 X to get XP to move up a level to get new abilities to kill 20 X to get XP to move up a level to get new abilities to kill 20 X...
Then when we hit 80 in this new expansion, you start playing Battlegrounds to get Honor to buy better gear to help you in Battlegrounds that get you Honor to buy better gear to help you in Battlegrounds...
It's a great game, though. I'm just burnt out and I realize that the expansion isn't going to really change that. I still need that epic 2H sword, though, so maybe just a little longer... :)

Well we will see how bad the game runs when the patch comes out. Integrated graphics are a pain but they have worked fine until now. If the game doesnt run well after the patch, then Ill cancel my account. Much cheaper to stop playing than buy a new Mac.

"Blizzard’s updated system requirements for Wrath of the Lich King now call for Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later, a G5/1.6GHz or faster Mac with 1GB RAM, and ATI Radeon 9600 or Nvidia GeForce Ti 4600 or better 3D graphics with at least 64MB VRAM."
A G5, 1GB and 64MBs of VRAM should have been in the requirements from day one. I used to run WoW on my iBook G4 which met the requirements at G4 1.2GHz, 512MB RAM (later upgraded to 1GB) and 32MB of VRAM and in densely populated areas I couldn't even get 1 frame per second.
Game ran a zillion times better when I upgraded to a MacBook Pro 2.33GHz, 256MB of VRAM for obvious reasons. I quit out of boredom in September but maybe when I can afford to get a Mac Pro with 4 or 8GBs of RAM and 30" display and 512MB of Video RAM which I will use for word processing and surfing the web (just kidding, FCS, Shake, Aperture, Logic and Guitar Hero :P) I will come back :P

THats weird, my iBook G4 1.33Ghz 1GB RAM 32MB VRAM plays about 25-30FPS in most places and in densely populated places (ex IronForge) Still got about 10FPS. About the same performance with my intel Mac mini.
