The Return of King! No, the other King.
At this years Blizzard Convention, Blizzcon, in Anaheim CA, Blizzard officially announced the second World of Warcraft expansion pack for the 9 million player strong MMO. Since the release of the Burning Crusade this past January, the inhabitants of Azeroth have been distracted by the events and adventures made available to them in the recently opened world of Outland. This has been factored into the storyline of the second expansion pack, Wrath of the Lich King where the Dread Lich Arthas, the villainous undead lord of Warcraft 3, has been slowly and secretly regaining his power. He now stands at the ready to exploit the current situation where most of Azeroth´s forces are being distracted by the ongoing and prolonged combat in the Outlands against the Burning Crusade. Arthas´ plans involve attacking the unsuspecting lands of Azeroth while their defenses have been weakened.
