October 15, 2008 by Ryan · Leave a Comment
The worlds most popular MMORPG, and possibly the worlds most popular game period, will be releasing its second expansion pack on November 13, 2008. You guessed it, that game is World Of Warcraft and the expansion has been dubbed “Wrath of the Lich King”. For all you World of Warcraft addicts out there, you had better your wallet out now. This one will be a hot commodity, and you don’t want to miss out!
From Blizzard Studios, World Of Warcraft is set in the land of Azeroth. The game is a traditional swords and spells game, with Night Elves, Dwarves, Orcs and the like. Many dungeons exists for you to explore along with dragons for you to slay. Players have the option to choose many different classes. Some of the more popular classes are the Warrior, Paladin, and Mage. Warriors use brute force as their name would suggest. Paladins use a combination of strength and magic, and Mages are purely magical fighters.
“Wrath of the Lich King” will see many additions to the game. The level cap will increased ten levels to eighty. A new class, called the “Death Knight” has also been added. New hairstyle for your character have been added, along with an improved graphics engine. Siege weapons and destroyable buildings will be added to PVP (Player vs. Player), along with a new completely PVP zone.
Icecrown Citadel will be the most exciting new instance. You will fight Arthas, the Lich King. Arthas rules over the Undead Scourge. Utgarde Keep should also be interesting. The instance consists of a race of people similar to the Vikings. They are called the Vrykrul, and they are devoted to the Lich King. This game sounds so good that I might have to add myself to the list of 10.9 million people already playing World of Warcraft!
