World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Expansion Pack

Blizzard officially announced the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack at Blizzcon. This will be the second true expansion for the World of Warcraft MMO.
The expansion’s title of course refers to the Lich King Arthus, Son of King Terenas Menethil, former Prince and Paladin of the Kingdom of Lordaeron; in the kingdom of Northrend he took up the Runeblade Frostmourne, becoming a Death Knight.Arthus fused with Ner’zhul the Lich King. He is King of the Scourge, and technically still King of Lordaeron, although that Kingdom no longer exists and few would claim him s a king since he was responsible partially for its fall.
Features of the expansion include:
- The dark, necromatic Death Knight - the first new character class added to World of Warcraft since its launch.
- Northrend, the harsh, icy continent where the Lich King holds rule, complete with new zones, quests, items and monsters.
- New level cap of 80 providing access to mighty new powers and talents
- New battlegrounds featuring siege engine warfare and destructible buildings
- Expanding character customization options including new hairstyles & dances, the ability to change the hairstyles of existing characters, and new skin color variants.
Rumors are that Utgarde Keep may be an instance based on this unsubstantiated “leaked” FAQ.via WoWWiki
Additionally, it looks like Games For Windows Magazine will be featuring Wrath of the Lich King on their September cover. You can check out all the juicy details over at 1up.

I wish they’d add in more content for the lower levels, because mostly everything they’ve added aside from the new races and classes, it’s basicaly the same game..
Well we heard of rumors of this before it was announced as there were some trademarks taken out in that name recently.
Why should they add a content for lower levels the old place’s are just find i leveled up 2 70’s in the old places actualy i skip like half the quest two.
lol! im glad they are making a new expansion! i just hope i can get to 70 before it comes out. woot. it looks like world of warcraft is going to be more life absorbing then before!
Wehn does this expansion even come out…
I agree, too soon.
I cant wate for it …but ya it is kinda to soon. I have been playin for a while so im happy they came out with these X packs just wish tbc had more time to sink in.
I don’t think i’ll buy it( atleast not untill i have atleast on character on lvl 70 then maybe i’ll buy it or else i’ll just end up begin from the begining with the new class
i’m half way now with my blood elf mage 
You cant start with a new class.
The death knight class will only be available when you meet certain criteria with your main character, then you can start a new character wich starts at a high level(Probably 70) and thats a death knight.
Utgarde keep is indeed one of the dungeon instances and in this one and the others in Northrend there will be a Hero-Option.
After you set foot on Northrend you will be dealing with scourge always, but all the factions and races have settlements on the continent of Northrend, the Undead even brought their own mastered plauge to use on Arthas’s mindless forces. If you have uncvered all of the mysteries and secrets of Northrend one final quest remains; Arthas the Lich-King of the Scourge. Arthas still sits on his Frozen Throne on top of his own keep, with in his hand the mighty blade: Frostmourne!
If you can get Frostmourne as a reward for killing Arthas isn’t sure but i expect it is.

Eh, i like the new expansion idea and all, it looks really cool, its just too soon
, what i really dont like is there is ONE hero class for one type character. The death knights will probably own everyone 
, ohwell, the game is still awesome!

i don’t think it is too soon but i hope that i can get a better guild before cuz i got crappy gear (lvl 70 priest on turalyon)
but i want to know more about the expansion 2…
ex. wanna know if there are going to, come some new classes and races hope that there come something that can pwn pvp locks..
and wanna know if the wow are going to be free? i hope so
but if you need a priest in a raiding guild on turalyon then just wisper me…
i can always raid with you
wisper me /w sezu
got enoguh experiense in my age of 13 but can easily heal cuz i have done it for my bro and i do it better then he do… but as i have told ya i got crappy gear… cya The noob is out
the noob has come again…
erhm Tim were did you find out all that stuffs? just wana know?
cuz i miaght can use it…
The noob is out
Im glad its coming out actually, burning crusades didnt have that much to offer really, ya 10 levels, ya a new map and some Instances, but we needed more. I got my 60 to 70 really fast, and before you knew it…I was board again (besides PvP)
AND DEFINATLY! We need new content for the lower levels, id say 20-50 (cuz the 50 areas are fun) I think that would make me want to play it more.
1-Im getting extremely board with the original game
2-I want a different and more interesting place to level, because leveling..its just getting to be an absolute pain in the ass (unless ur a lock cuz its fun)
3-I really wanna see a big improvement in the game, there are alot of people coming into it and we need more space to play and more variaty.
One thing that has disapointed me with Blizz is their banning system. Its absolutely rediculouse.
Now, ive never gotten banned or hacked, but ive heard people telling me they have to Re-Buy wow just play again. I think getting their 2 epic 70’s is enough punishment, I mean they pay $15 a month anyway, blizz does not need the extra $50.
Zach i totally agree with you..
but if you got banned you need to go and email blizz and thats a kind a problem if you are a 10 year old buy who cant speak good english… i had got banned once and i needed to buy it cuz i couldn’t good english to get their e-mail..
but when i told my bro that i were banned he said i was a fool that i didn’t had said it to him a little earlier…..
but yea, it was my own fault… i had downloaded a free bot…. ( VERY STUPID) i were only lvl 40 but yea…
then i bought a new WoW and then i didn’t use the bot.. i maked a priest and then i were just freaking all the day long ( when i came home from school) i hited lvl 70 in 17 days playtime it is oke but i know them who can do it faster..
and now to why blizz are taking money for it… i mean like HELLO you are 1 of the most richest game producers in THE WORLD! ffs..
you earn over 10.000.000$ in the month…. take it easy ffs…. don’t take more money for it…
yea might you need to give all your ppl money and that but OMFG you got the money to it… you can’t even do it faster or might do so gm’s actually wana talk with you in-game… you need to open a ticket…. and it can take hrs…. i hate that system
The noob? IS OUT
o by da way i think death nites can summon da crypt fiends n gouls n all dem undead monsters off warcraft 3 (not online game only pc play it but i warn u it gets shit after playin for more dan an hour… i completed it and the expansion in a week
)
p.s. i do have a life LOL
I think the new expansion will be kickass altho i dont have a 70 now im very close and will prob by january
I hope they have a new race for bolth horde and alliance i like making new chars and questing that area but i hate when u get to that lvl and have to go to where u quested before bc its boring change it up and give a new area.I also think bliz shoulda took a lil more time to get our comment on what to put in the new game before they went off and made a new expansion when i just bought bc.
It comes out january 5,2008.
Looks awesome but i realy didnt like the whole FEL, enviorment in tbc hopefully i like this nordic climate more (looks awesome and more fun to be questing in)
yo so when u make a death knight u start at level 70
or am i just retarted
yes, you’re still retarded, but i heard death knights start off at a high lvl
oh and i think any class will be able to be it, after u finish the quest..thing
ok iv been reading some of the posts people have been leaving, here are a few things to consider before saying silly things
1) it is not a class, it is a HERO CLASS (the first ever one) therefore you can assume you’d need to be a hero first ie. have a high levelled character - a blizzard spokesperson hinted the required level would be around 55-60
2) blizzard were intending the class to be available to all races (subject to change)
it would seem that reaching a specific level on a character would unlock the ability to create a new death knight account - blizzard has mentioned that they would have an amount of experience and spells ready to use on creation, however obviously the starting level would not exceed the level needed to unlock the death knight (someone’s post mentioned that you would start at level 70!)
the game wont come out for like another 2 years so stop crying it coming out to soon
lol… i saw it when BC was out! if you right click when you chose from Outland to Azeroth theres Northrend at the picture of azeroth a White Wasteland at the picture of that Bearded somesort and something like a Dreadlord
They Thought og WotLK when BC Was out! 
i hope it comes out soon i no im just a lvl 15 BE paladin but i want 2 be able to go some where wen i get hi enof ( PALLIES RULE! ) I WANT
THE NEW EXPANSION!! where did u guys hear that it comes out on Jan 5 2008 it says that blizz hasnt even decided on wat theyre having in the bestiary?
-
DEATH TO ALLIANCE!! 
I can’t wait for this expansion and i hope it comes out soon. It sucks to be stuck at lvl 70
.
Stop whinging about how soon its coming out
Knwing Blizzard it will be in 2009 …
who cares if your not lvl 70 and the expansion comes out at least your not
stuck at 70
HORDE SUCKS!!!!!
idk when it comes out but i cant wait…either way i agree with Badges blizzard always does this sort of crap
honestly my friends and I believe that WOFLK will only come out in a few years since they did the same thing with BC announced it and released it in a few years. at the moment i can’t find any dates just rumours
THE ONLY REASON WHY ITS COMING OUT SO FAST IS THAT EVERYONE LVL LIKE CRAZY IN BC THEY NEED TO MAKE THE XPACK LIKE 70 to 90 or something and make the mobs a lil bit harder and stuff
so like when dose it come out.?
Wow… simply amazing… another expansion pack and people are already complaining. And they aren’t even doing it properly. If you’re going to complain about something, at least make sure you are spelling everything properly. (i.e. den dat… w8 gr8…) Honestly…
