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.

Let me make this clear, WotLK is NOT out in stores! There has been a tentative release date which is November…This has NOT been confirmed. So whoever posts random crap, please stop, it’s pointless and confusing.
Yea its out for pre-order so you can pree order it for when it comes out, thats about it, =/
COME ON QUIT LYING PEOPLE IT SAYS ON worldofwracraft.com THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE WRATH OF THE LICH KING COMES OUT IN NOVEMBER FOR LAUNCH NOW THERE YOU HAVE IT!!!!

o yea that one dued is right u can pre order it i called game stop they said its a pre
order im gunna do that
HORDE ROCKS**********************!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!****************
i know for a fact that WOTLK is comming out on the 3rd of aguest 08 i have a brother that is helping make the game he says its in the testing faze and there jest starting to work on the death knight he says in about 4 months the testing on WOTLK will be over and the testing on the death knight will begain he also told me the knight starts at 70 and he said that it will be so very bad ass and that it could solo kill a full av bg
….imo i liked the good old days when it was lvl 60 caps….BC just kinda ruined wow =/ and im not really looking forward to going to lvl 80……………..i miss MC and onyxia..those sort of instances and raids, anyways…that was my 2 cents
…i wish blizz never would have came out w/ the BC. the expansion just ruined the game
truely and wotlk or w/e the hell it is…will be no different just gonna ruin the game even more. anyways…that’s my 2 cents
FOR THE HORDE!!!!
wen will this expansion come out i cant wait that long….
Pretty freaking amusing how not a single member of the Horde appear to be able to type coherant English. This topic pretty much states: ‘If ur a reetard and luv 2 fite unfarely join da Horde! WEE R DA NOOBZORZ /spit on da allience we speel 1337 4 evar!’ I can always get a good chuckle out of the stupidity of the Horde. Thanks again for proving that the alliance RULE.
Im only level 11. He he he…
do you have to be level 70 to have a death knight
XD i lov WoW im a lvl 43 guter got to that lvl in a month so its ez 2 lvl just qust
hunter*
XD
Just wanted to comment in and say that WoW IS THE GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME
Also 
(V)The Horde(V) RULES 
I have done lots of research and from what i have found you do a chain Q to gain the Death knight option. Im still unsure whether u have to scarifice your cahracter but i doubt that is true. However once you gain the Death Knight class (which is made especially for PvP…so im told) you will start at lv50. how accurate this research is i dont know but it seems perfectly credible.
AND for those who are worried bcus they arent lv 70 yet: Death knight may be available at lower lvs, at lv70 or at lv80/a higher elvel in the expansion.
If u wanna chat 2 my char then here r his details:
NAME: Treeroot
REALM: Hellscream
LEVEL: 70
CLASS: Druid
SPECC: Balance
I would also like 2 agree with Cheah. The expansions ruin the game. Wen the lv cap was 60 you were able to get ltos of characters to that level no prob. Blizzard are trying to achieve the idea that not many ppl will be top level and that people will be spread out over all the levels, this effect is shown well in the popular online game *runescape* which I myself havent played but my younger brother insists on showing me
however the expansions are brought out to slowly. I say leave the level cap! apart from that new content is a gd idea altho id like 2 see the new PvP armour sets for lv80!
2 make a death knight is it true that you have 2 unlock it at 80 thew a chain q?
hey did you know that they are bringing another secret race out tehy bringing deathknight and something else they got it very secret dynno what it is yet lol
if u ask me this is rubbish lord of the rings online is much better it is no where near the best game in the world but i guess its wat u like i played a 7 day free trial and could’nt stick to any 1
well. to be honest in my personal way of thinking. this level cap will probley be the last one for a very long time. think about it, this game will not be a level 100 game. it would take to long, and yes alot of kids with nothing to do play this game; but also alot of adults witch do have otehr things to do play as well. also if you noticed in the patch they made it easier to get to level 60. by lowering exp requirments and raiseing quest exp. because they knew this expantion was comeing. i dont have a level 70 yet i been playing for a month now and i have a level 43 warrior ( prot. spec) and level 20 mage (frost spec) i dont even have burning crusades. and some of you are saying BC hasnt even set in yet. well i play on a pvp server, and there are about mabe tops 7 guilds on horde side. the side i am on, that do any of the BC instances; most of it is BG BG BG. LAMEO. the only reason no one experanced the game is no one can rip themself away from mindless pvp long enough to do the acually game. that is all i really have to say. just when this new one comes out, try being a little more orginized and you might find out that; you can do things quicker.
i play with my blood elf paladin lvl 70 it’s my favourite character and I want to kill ilidan with my friends
I HATE IT WHY CANT THE JUST LET IT OUT NOW
its coming out in november so
I can;t wait to at an Raid to ArThaS
Helo everyone im a lvl 52 htauren hunter on Gilneas and ive been reading and u have to be a lvl 55 to become a deathknight. You get an option to become a deathknight and then u have to take quests to get skills and the lvls.You get a lvl 40 mount spell which the mount is a Deathcharger(sorda zombie looking thing) and u do more quests to get the epic on like locks and paladins do. Well have fun trying to get 55 at least!
when is the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King coming out in europe
If you are a 55 (or higher) do you have to get rid of the file your level 55(or higher)that you have then start out as a 55(or higher) Death Knight
DeathKnight=Awesome! I think,or if im correct that when u begin or take the option to become a death knight you start at the same lvl u are, or you start at lvl55 no matter what lvl u are. But no matter even when u become a death knight you will embark on quest when u first log on with ur death knight. They already give u a sword and armor for starter.
Death Knight will be unlocked if you have a Character in lvl 55 or higher (read about it), you don’t need to do some pre-quests to unlock it and They start at lvl 55 in EPL (EasternPlague Lands) that DK will only spawn… If you don’t agree with me… Then you must read the sites about DK!
Ohh… btw they start with a sword (or two), begginer set (or begginer armor) and they might will learn Dual Wield (with would be INCREDIBLE nice
)
Ohh… I forgot to say this: It will be realesed in around August… CAN’T WAIT! Cuz I want a DK myself!
OMG WHY CANT IT JUST COME OUT NOW!
HOW COME U BASTARD AMERICANS GET EVERYFIN B4 THE REST OF US!!
YOU need to be lvl 55 to unlock death knight. I have a char lvl 54
YAY!!!
Aleionar why say that?! Im not 5… Im older, but you Horde ALWAYS gank eighter me or someone I know… Like for a week ago… I was just questin in Isle of Quel’Danas and guess what happend… Almost all the horde ganked the Ally… We need to fight back! Ofc I only play Ally… But going to Reroll Horde… so Aleionar better watch out or else!
so what is so cool about wow making us pay $15 to see their banding crap
and they need make new sides like the death army. 
.
ok, Aleionar, its true that Horde pwn Allys. and of course allys say horde suck…i mean…THEYRE ALLIANCE, NOT HORDE. and there are plenty lil 5yr olds on horde side to….(((5yrs old not literally))) lol….lol!!! im alliance but im not 5!!! im 13!!! lol!!!! altho i do have horde char
like my name sayz,
Alliance by Mind, Horde by Heart
((((which btw means i supprt horde even tho im ally, and my ally alt (((lvl 32 hunter, pwns horde in bgs…AND she not a WINPY TWINK)))
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! ….btw….when does wrath of lich king come out?
WoW nobody can spell worth a damn here…As far as when WotLK comes out, according to Blizzard, there is no release date set yet as they will not release till they are satisfied that it’s ready. As far as the Alliance ruling, unfortunately they do as most of the GM’s are alliance toons with very few on Horde toons. As far as getting a Death Knight character to play, once again according to Blizzard, you have to have a lvl 70 toon and then the new character will be unlocked as one per game account per server that you have the lvl 70 toon on. The Death Knight will start as a lvl 55 and have quest chain to learn how to play your new toon and be able to set your skills up the way you want them. So, until Blizzard does release WotLK, just remember that you have to wait like everyone else so stop bitching.
I hope this expansion will come out soon cause i have a lvl70 mage and i want to get him to lvl80 ….. Alliance F T W HORDE SUCKS!!!
