Every week, just at the start of the weekend, we catch up with the WoW.com staff and ask them, "What are you playing this week?" (Otherwise known as: WRUP!) Join us to see what we're up to in and out of game -- and catch us in the comments to let us know what you're playing, too!
In addition to the usual fare of talking about what we're all doing this weekend, we asked the team how they felt about Zul'Gurub being removed as a raid instance in Cataclysm. Are they angry? Pleased? Completely apathetic? What about your, dear readers?
Alex Ziebart (@alexziebart): Not much of a break for me this weekend. My pen and paper crew is getting together this weekend because Labor Day killed our usual weekend plans. Beyond that, I'm going to be populating a couple of new blogs that I'm working on with content. Weekends? Holidays? Pish posh. As for Zul'Gurub ... well, I'm not happy that it's going away. I'm also not unhappy. I didn't exactly go in there very much, but I will miss it. It was one of my favorite raids at 60. Jin'do and Hakkar were awesome fights.
Anne Stickney (@Shadesogrey): Nada going on playwise -- I'll be in Vegas all weekend! As for ZG being removed, I am not worried. I am not worried. I amnotworriedohgodmustspendeverylockoutperiodfarmingfortigerpleasedon'ttakeitawaaaaaay
Amy Schley (@wowlawbringer): I'll be hitting the local farmer's market with the family and then working on Ulduar achievements with my server's guild alliance. I'll miss ZG, but not enough to go hogwild on farming it for the next few months.
Basil Berntsen (@outdps): I'll be out of town again this weekend, but will attempt to get my arena matches and a podcast or two in. As for the bonus question, I really don't mind. I'm taking a very stoic approach toward beta development: Blizzard has always delivered me content that I enjoyed playing, and I trust they can still do that.
C. Christian Moore (@thearenaguy): Studying -- lots and lots of studying. Unless ZG is being made into a 5 man complete with mounts (and even if it is), I don't get what Blizzard's deal is with removing or revamping content. 60 Naxx should still be in the game so I can get an Atiesh. It's unfair that sword classes can still get Thunderfuries (which were already more numerous/plentiful) but DPS spellcasters can't get Atiesh (which currently is their only legendary to ever be in the game, and now it's been taken out for an entire expansion). I'd also like Onyxia to have a 60 man version so level 60 twinks can get stuff from there, but whatever. Looks like I had a lot to say on this. Yeah, not happy with the change.
