It might be funny if done right.

I've found that when it comes to WoW addiction, it's a lot easier to ditch it the second or third time around, kind of like smoking. Once you quit successfully once, it's a dawdle to quit again. |
haha the WoW fans will be too busy at home playing to go see it!
Yeah i agree with that first time i was ridiculously addicted, now i have a subcsription and haven't even been on in about 2 weeks. Waste of money really.

I played Star Wars Galaxies for about a year and half when that launched in like 03. I love Star Wars in an MMO setting, it suits the franchise so well, better than any other IMO.
The Old Republic is looking quite badass so far, leagues ahead of Galaxies (lightyears?).

new info on the movie for those who are interested
| Quote: |
Blizzard Entertainment and Legendary Pictures have updated the IMDB page for the upcoming Warcraft movie. The title now reads Warcraft: The Rise of the Lich King and a tentative release of 2011 (likely during the summer). As announced in July, Sam Raimi will be directing the feature film based on the 15-year-old video game franchise.
Right away the subtitle is an obvious reference to the most recent World of Warcraft expansion released in November 2008 titled “Wrath of the Lich King.” It was (and still is) the fastest selling computer game of all time, setting the record at 2.8 million copies in the first 24 hours.
Speculation has begun that it could also be linked to the best-selling Christie Golden novel bearing the same subtitle. The book draws heavily from the lore established in Warcraft III and its Frozen Throne expansion pack and tells the story of Arthas Menethil from age 10. After some training, he becomes Prince of Lordaeron and leads Alliance forces against the growing armies of undead Scourge. Bent on revenge and surrounded by encroaching evil, Arthas takes up the magical Frostmourne sword. With it he destroys the demon Dreadlord leader before the cursed blade corrupts him, transforming him into a ghoulish Death Knight (the Lich King) and enemy of his former people.
That’s what I was able to piece together about the novel. Arthas’s story is often compared to Anakin Skywalker’s betrayal to the dark side. He’s essentially the Darth Vader character of the Warcraft world. There’s also a bit of a King Arthur parallel there. Word from the Blizzard Entertainment convention Blizzcon 2007 indicated the story would pick up about a year before the massive war and would focus on “cultures in conflict” rather than a Lord of the Rings style adventure.
This is good news that hopefully the movie will consist of epic medieval battles and richly realized characters. It also means there is potential for a series of movies depending on how far they extend into the Arthas storyline. Plus we probably won’t see the endless gold farming and meaningless Murloc slayings that make the massive multiplayer game, World of Warcraft, so tedious.
Producers have already confirmed the movie will be PG-13, but with Raimi and The Dark Knight’s Charles Roven of Legendary Pictures steering the ship the franchise and its more violent element are in good hands. |

WarCraft is dead to me after the failures that were WarCraft III and World of WarCraft. After WarCraft II the series became a generic fantasy RTS with RPG elements to me. For a generic fantasy RTS with RPG elements done right, czech out Warlords Battlecry III.
Maybe if they got rid of the CGI and left out all the unimportant races no one gives a crap about (Pandarens? Nagas? Centaurs? Here's a protip: if you're making a Lord of the Rings-y fantasy story then at least make sure all the races are vaguely northern European-inspired and not from other cultures.), then I would think about watching it.
