WWI Roundup: Your Most Wanted Blizzard Game?

Part III:

WoW: Wrath of the Lich King: The King of MMORPG

With the success of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, many players are waiting for the release of the second expansion, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. Now Wotlk is on the alpha test and scheduled to be released in the second half of 2008.

The story of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King happens in Northrend, a crescent-shaped continent in northern Azeroth. The continent is roughly half the size of the Eastern Kingdoms, but is expected to match Outland in length and width. Players will land by boat either at the Howling Fjord or the Borean Tundra zones, located at opposite ends of the continent, when they first arrive.

New Features Added in Wotlk:

Level cap raised to 80

Battle with the Lich King at the Frozen Throne

One new playable class: Death Knight

A new continent: Northrend

The creation of a new profession: Inscription

Profession level cap raised to 450

Hundreds of new items, quests, dungeons, creatures, spells and weapons

Siege weapons and destructible buildings (for PvP)

Transform your hero#DY#s look with new character-customization options, including new hairstyles and dances.

A non-instanced Battleground.

Improved Graphics Engine (applied to shaders and flame effects)

New factions including the Speartusk and the Taunka, a racial cousin to the Tauren.
