Talk:World of Warcraft Trading Card Game

message: The external link to the Top Tier Gaming program patch was misleading in that it claimed to "let you play the game online".  That is incorrect.  What it does is modify a Magic the Gathering card game program to include WoW TCG cards in its library.  So you can catalog and display all the WoW TCG cards in your collection within the program.
However, the program does not actually play WoW TCG. The only game it is apparently capable of playing is Magic the Gathering, and if you attempt to play the game using WoW TCG cards what happens is that you end up using Magic the Gathering rules and the program tries to use the WoW TCG cards within those rules.  Since the rules for WoW TCG are a bit different in some major ways from Magic the Gathering, it is doubtful you can actually play WoW TCG online in any meaningful way using this program (short of perhaps doing a lot of manual hackery as you go).
Therefore while it looks like this program is relatively decent at helping you catalog your deck, it's not an online game simulator for WoW TCG. Dugwiki 22:36, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: It's marked this way because, every few days, another commercial or promotional link shows up in the "External links" section.  The existing links are intended to be informative, but invariably, folks keep adding links to pages selling cards, or otherwise promoting their own minor web sites. -- Slordak 14:35, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I heard on a gaming news podcast this week that InQuest Gamer, one of the major magazines for the TCG genre, nominated or named the WoW TCG as its new game of the year for 2006.  I realized that this article has no mention of that or of any critical reviews.
Now that the game has been out for a month or two, and citable critical reviews and awards are available, it might be a good idea to include a couple of sentences talking about the critical response to the game.  Cite a few major reviews, with key quotations, along with a bullet list at the end of the article to summarize any awards its won or been nominated for.  This would demonstrate how the game was described, good or bad, in key gaming publication. Dugwiki 17:28, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I think everyone knows that this game was discontinued because of the arrival of Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, Blizzard's new CCG; the announcement of the former's retirement was made only a few days before the beginning of the latter's widely-advertised beta.
I feel this should be mentioned in this article, but without an official source to connect the two events, I fear I may fall foul of guidelines regarding speculation or such. Speculative media articles include this, this and this. Hearthstone seems to be both the TCG's direct successor and its direct cause of death. -- Taohinton (talk) 22:39, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
