World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Expansion Pack
By Shawn on Friday, August 3rd, 2007 at 12:10 PM PST In Blizzard, Computer, World of Warcraft
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.

the noob? has come back
hello freaks
know exactly when The wrath of the lich king comes out?
the noob? is out
Little unsure of the date to be honest. Amazon.com claims it would be Novemeber 30ish 2008, But; that’s being sold by ‘Viendi Games’ and there’s no image etc. and the product name itself seems odd.
However on Amazon.co.uk the xpac is there, claiming it’ll be out January 18th 2008, which not only seems more specific datewise, but the product also has a picture with it, trailer for the game and is also being sold by ‘Blizzard’
I personally believe this will be the correct date, or soemthing similar as long as they do not postpone it.
Currently got a lvl 62, so I should easily reach 70 and get the chance to explore the lvl 70 raids etc within time
it is coming out in january 8, 2007. just to clear anything up. also i thinkn they should make a new one like every year i like expansion packs and get bored easily.
well i think AF1992 is right the amazon.co.uk looks the most promising they say it will be out 18th jan 2008, just to say for those that are complaining coz they havent got to lvl 70 in time that if you quest in the right places and do the quests you can lvl really fast also if you are one of these people that ask for a boost (very annoying) questing is faster than getting boosts some 70’s are really busy some doing raids some doing arena just let them be 70’s who arnt bored are always dong something,like me i got bored not long after 70 but joined a good guild and im now expierancing more of the game by doing raids atm we are just finishing serpantshrine cavern and soon will be on mount hydra and black temple which by the time we start clearing that the exp pack will be out thos as anoying as it is lvl 70 epic will get replaced by lvl 71 greens..but hey always fun getting the lvl 80 epics (till anoher exp pack comes out lol)
anyway im looking forward to WoTLK as well as LVL 80 Naxxaramas (25 man raid)
“not so much a noob
it is coming out in january 8, 2007. just to clear anything up. also i thinkn they should make a new one like every year i like expansion packs and get bored easily.”
well if you have been paying attention before TBC cam out they said they will be trying to bring out exp packs every year and i dont think it will be 8th of jan 2007 lol its been and gone (just joking i know you ment to say 2008 and hit the wrong key) well i think it will be 18th of jan 2008 due to a little research of the reasles date and you can pre order on amazon.co.uk (best do it now before it gets sold out like with TBC at the beginning of the year)
Its coming out November… ‘08. I am not looking forward to this expansion at all. There is no new lower lvl areas. theres nothing you can get to right away. its blizzards way of sucking the money out of you. I personally prefer the original, before any expansions, because the new alliance race sucks, blood elves are good, so it evens out the races, and the level 70 intances are just not quite as fun as the level 60 ones. I only play the level 70 ones so i can get good gear, but most of the time im on a level 60 alt playing on those instances. If i had to rate BC id give it a 3. Flying mounts are AWESOME!!! The last expansion (rumored to be called the frozen throne) will probably contain the last two races. Then a new game will come along and everyone will quit WoW and play that game. So WoW does end, when they run out of people paying for the game. I will not get the new expansion because its a waste of money and time. I might get it once its like 20 bucks but b4hand no.
hey there pplz… like u i love to play WoW but i have been hearing from some ppl that most classes can not unlock the DeathKnight class.. now i do not believe this untill i actually c blizz say this.. and at this moment i am looking.. havent found anything yet… which i am happy about because i have a lvl 70 Hunt and soon lvl 70 Druid and i want to hope that atleast 1 can get it because the DeathKnight class would suit me so well lol… i mean a dream of mine would b to b able to b one in this world but… that isnt gonna happen lol
so i hope i can b 1 in WoW.. if any1 knows the real facts plz tell me!
wat r da new races???
i hope thr iz a reli kwl 1
and 1 4 alliance and horde
kenny… from my wel reserch.. hate to tell u but there isnt anymore races just the Deathknight lev cap to 80 ect.. but no new races
ffs nubs.. you cant specualte in when it’s coming out.. none of you knows when it does, so stop whining, and focus on getting you t6!
lol guys i have pre ordered the wrath of the lich king and i getting on jan 18 2008
ummm…”WoWCritic(pro)” i disagree with ya like…100%…u said somethin like “new ally classes suck but BEs are awesome”…WOW! i think blood elfs are rip-offs of humand and night elfs, and dreanei have TAILS!!!……
TAILS!!!!!!!
eh i think thats what ya said, idk cause i dont really read that much…just look 4 wat ppl are sayin…ah well
hey do anyone know when the lich king is coming out and were would u buy it from? what site?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Theres No New Races In WrathOfLichking. Those Bastards At Blizzard
I Hate Them
my highest level is a level 53 warlock … shall i level him to 70 or wait till the expansion and make him a death knight ???/???//?/
?????
Wow. quit complaining your stuck at 70? How much freaking content is there?
Have you downed illidian stormrage in black temple? went to za yet? got your tier sets? Arena ratings? Yeah I didnt think so. And the death knight is going to only be opended to players in he high level range 68 who will need to complete a long quest line chain to unlock this feature, go level up get off the forums.
ok guys first off
1.)the new continent is onlyavailableto 70’s
2.)to geta death knoight u must reach lvl 80 and do a LONG chain quest then your account will be unlocked to create a (hero) deathknight class.
3.) he starts out at lvl 60 and he is a warrior thaat tanks while duel weilding.
4.) he can summon minions, and he uses a totally different energy system instead of manaor rage orenergyhe uses (rune stones) he etches 6 of them into his sword. 3 different color runes certain colorsunlock certain abilities.
5.) its not easy to unlock the death knight not many people will have them for a LONG time.
6.) death knights were made for lvl 80 endgame raids becusae they are to hard for any warrior to tank.
if u have more questionsgoto youtube and check it out they have a blizz conference and explain some of it in more detail.
P.S. its just a game so dont stress too much ive been playing for a few years and i love playing but remember guys, take everything in moderation
yo guys im thinking about buying wow ive heard great things about it but i dont now wether to buy it help on buying it please.

Someone who realy know when it comes out? Not belive when, but know when!If someone should know when it comes to Denmark… then please write it.
I think they should make more demons like illidan for another hero class
How do you guys know that the WotLK will be published on January 5,2008?
Blizzard did not give any information about the release date.
If so, they’ll announce it on the WoW-Forum or at the “News” site on the WoW Website.
If you post information about the release date or information about the game then please give me your sources!
the wrath of the lich game expansion should be the best of the expansions. It comes out not to long from now. It has a new race called the deathnight. And you can get the new lvl 80. I’d recomend to try your hardest to get to lvl 70 so you will be able to actually get to lvl 80 or just start your brand new race the deathnight.good luck and have fun playing.make sure to check out that website for more info on wrath of the lich king.
