    Amazon.com Product Description
    Fans of World of Warcraft, prepare for Blizzard Entertainment's next installment -- World of Warcraft: Wrath of King Lich. In this latest expansion, something is afoot in the cold, harsh northlands. The Lich King Arthas has set in motion events that could lead to the extinction of all life on Azeroth. The necromantic power of the plague and legions of undead armies threaten to sweep across the land. Only the mightiest heroes can oppose the Lich King and end his reign of terror.



    The tuskarr, a walrus-like race of nomadic fisherman, inhabit the icy Borean Tundra. View larger.


    Half-giant warriors, the vrykul, once inhabited the land. View larger.


    You'll enjoy exploring Northrend and all its environments and dungeons. View larger.

    Enter the Death Knight
    This expansion adds a host of content to the already massive existing game world. Players will achieve soaring levels of power, explore Northrend (the vast icy continent of the Lich King), and battle high-level heroes to determine the ultimate fate of Azeroth. As you face the dangers of the frigid, harsh north, prepare to master the dark necromantic powers of the Death Night -- World of Warcraft's first Hero class. No longer servants of the Lich King, the Death Knights begin their new calling as experienced, formidable adversaries. Each is heavily armed, armored, and in possession of a deadly arsenal of forbidden magic.

    If you have a World of Warcraft account with a character of at least level 55, you will be able to create a new level-55 Death Knight of any race (if on a PvP realm, the Death Knight must be the same faction as your existing character). And upon entering the new world, your Death Knight will begin to quest to level 80, gaining potent new abilities and talents along the way. This expansion allows for only one Death Knight per realm, per account.

    New Environments in Northrend Await
    Journey through the remote, diverse lands of Northrend and explore Dragonblight, Grizzly Hills, Borean Tundra, and Howling Fjord. Named for bones of perished dragons and majestic shrines to the fallen creatures, Dragonblight is an arctic wasteland surrounded by dense forests.

    Not everything is frozen in Northrend. The lush mountains of Grizzly Hills are the ancestral home to the furbolgs, who have grown accustomed to relative peace. Although their tranquility is being challenged by trappers, goblins, and ice trolls, Grizzly Hills remains a vast and dangerous wilderness.

    The southwestern tip of Northrend is home to the sprawling Borean Tundra. The Horde has established a dominant presence in this icy portion of the continent and has formed a bond with the tuskarr, a walrus-like race of nomadic fisherman. Magical energy is afoot in the region, and it has caused increased tension.

    High above the Great Sea at the southeastern tip of Northrend lies the Howling Fjord. Ancient mythology holds that a race of half-giant warriors, the vrykul, once inhabited the land, founding a prosperous civilization. They mysteriously vanished, leaving deserted villages and abandoned temples. In present times, the Alliance and the Horde have come to Howling Fjord to confront the Lich King. Strangely, this has prompted the return of the vrykul, who are attacking the Alliance and Horde settlements. Howling Fjord presents a difficult challenge on two fronts: withstanding the vrykul's onslaught and battling the evil Lich King.

    A Multitude of Monsters
    Strange and terrifying creatures inhabit the frozen continent of Northrend, such as Nerubian Viziniers, Plague Eruptors, Shoveltusks and Flesh Giants, to name just a few. Half-spider, half-humanoid, the viziniers utilize sorcery and high intelligence to emerge as the rulers of Nerubians' underground kingdom. The Plague Eruptors are walking corpses created by the Lich King's evil experiments to spread horror and chaos across the living world.

    Massive curved antlers make it easy to identify the Shoveltusks. These grumpy beasts are very dangerous, territorial, and best left alone. The Flesh Giants are nothing short of nightmarish abominations. Cobbled together from the pieces of giant body parts, the Flesh Giants employ tremendous strength to carry out the Lich King's wishes.

    The World of Warcraft: Wrath of King Lich expansion pack allows you to engage in epic siege warfare. The pack presents the first Hero class and allows you to transform your Death Knight's look with character customization that even include hairstyles and dances. You'll enjoy exploring the Northrend and all its environments and dungeons, filled with some of the deadliest creatures -- and greatest treasures -- on all of Azeroth.

    3 out of 5 stars WOTLK ... MEH   November 14, 2008
     16 out of 35 found this review helpful

    OK I wanted to hit everyone at once with my review of the WOTLK.

    SO far my over all impression is ... Meh.

    I go for my first quest and its... go kill x of y and come back here. Really? Seriously? SERIOUSLY? your on your 2nd expansion you've had years to plan and that's the best you could come up with? Fine whatever... OK so its a 69 th level mob and they drop what? GREYS? AND 3 or 4 silver? SERIOUSLY? Oh come on... Well let me fly up high and get a better view...What the HECK?? My flying mount doesn't work???
    SERIOUSLY??

    And the explanation for that would be? well we created allot of (WORTHLESS) game content and we don't want you to skip any of it. How about areas that were designed to be traversed by people with flying mounts. YOU hadda KNOW that just about every one would have at least the Jr version of a flying mount. Why not come up with a better plan than declaring NORTHREND a NO FLY zone. Apparently there are plans to let you use your flying mount in North REND eventually.. they think maybe around level 78. But they are not sure yet? OK whatever.

    The Death knight looks cool. I played him for about 5 minutes and then put him away. I want to get my lock to 80 and if I start splitting time with my death knight forget it, it will never happen. That and i think I'll let every one else figure out how to use the new class best and then start playing it.
    I was extremely pleased with the name I got. JORDEAD. Pronounced (your dead.).. I had a good laugh over that one.

    OK the first area that I was in was loaded down with new trainers... and i have to say if you've killed yourself to level tailoring to the Max, your going to be annoyed because there are right away recipes that are going to be real easy to make with drops from the humanoids and thread that are going to be way easier to do than making shadow cloth and farming motes of water to make the dreadweave gear. Its not as good as your purples but it is a ton easier to make... so its going to be much easier for me to make it to 375 and above than before the expansion. Which means i am very grateful that I didn't spend that time grinding motes more than I needed to make one set of the shoulder blades.

    I will say this that The scope of this game with the second expansion is truly breath taking. There is now so much to do that it boggles the mind.

    Now in fairness I Only played about 2 or 3 hours of content so far and it may well be that the game has gotten much better but so far All I have to say is this. Its just more of the same, and I am not impressed. As a matter of fact I will probably head back to warsong gulch and finish getting my second purple, before I go back to north rend.

    Oh and so far as I can tell there are no banks or auction houses in the first area you go to for the horde at least.

    I came back to wow for this expansion exclusively. This expansion adds nothing new, and wotlk is just more of the same. Endless repetition, massive crowds of children, and hours upon hours of wasted time gathering horribly rendered gear.

    I'm glad I only bought one copy and didn't go full BORE on this.

    Don't waste your money!



    5 out of 5 stars Graphics and Music Review of WotlK!   November 14, 2008
     8 out of 14 found this review helpful

    Whether you are a MMORPG WOW fanatic, or a casual RPG console player, or perhaps the lonely housewife tired of watching Oprah and wanting some travel time, this game is for you. The ethereal graphics are astoundingly beautiful, tailored to real-life tastes, with snow-covered pine trees and a pastel colored sky dazzled by the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). One of the most crazy places I've visited was the starting zone where I actually climbed a snow-covered mountain (which is drawn to scale!) in Howling Fjord. It as so realistic, I could almost smell the fresh pine cone scent, feel the icy cold nip of the crisp air, and taste of flying snowflakes on my lips.

    If the graphics don't surprise you, the music will. The celtic-like Uilleann pipes (sounds like bagpipes) have a middle-earth feel and mythical tunes, that, for a moment I felt like Xena or a character from Lord of the Rings. The music is truly pleasure to my ears. The Dark Knight class is very well thought-out, with a strong storyline and new voice effects. I recommend you playing through the Death Knight class even if you intend *not* to play it, because the entire storyline ends in 3 hours and is quite epic. Just make sure not to skip any cutscenes or dialogue for the DK quests, or you'll miss out on a lot. In addition, the entire expansion pack has an innovative "feel" for the game of WoW, in fact so much so I thought I was playing a different game with characters that looked like WoW.


    New designs, new mobs, new humanoids, new animals (with their herd), new everything is completely insane. I am completely in awe by this expansion pack and glad I got my copy early!



    5 out of 5 stars Shipping Nov 18 (!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!)   November 13, 2008
     7 out of 26 found this review helpful

    I know the game is good but I can't review the expansion because I don't have it yet.

    I generally like to think of myself as a laid back person.

    I preordered WOTLK the first day I was aware I could, (Sep 15) a long while back. I didn't check the emails they sent me then. Maybe it was my bad for not thinking I needed to double check the service. But it was my presumption that the whole point of Pre Ordering was to get the game in time to play when it went live. I had not had a bad experience with Amazon before, so it didn't cross my mind that I should check when they would have the game to me as I had ordered it several months before the game was to go live.

    So now it comes down to the time WOTLK has gone live and I still don't have my game. I was willing to give them a day or 2 on a massive event like this. I have worked in several sectors of the service industry and so am inclined to give people a break when things don't turn out exactly like I think they should.

    So I go into my email and find what they sent me. I find 2 disturbing pieces of info in 2 separate emails. 1 states that my "shipping estimate" is Nov 18. The other says that if I want "release-date delivery" I should pay an extra $6. In my mind the big question that comes up is: "What the hell did I preorder for?" Does Amazon expect that I just like to part with my money early? Or isn't there a basic understanding that a preordered item is preordered for the entire purpose of being able to have the product in your hands the day of release? Asking me to pay an extra $6 for what I thought I was already paying for may be excusable but still smells of cooperate greed. But then giving me a shipping time AFTER the game is going to be AVAILABLE defeats the purpose of preordering ALTOGETHER.

    So I thought well maybe they are just giving themselves some room with the delivery date in case items don't arrive in time and the shipping estimate means I should give them a couple days in case something goes bad. Then I check the shipping tracking number given in the email and find that "Shipping estimate" apparently means the date they plan to ship the item. Meaning...... THE ITEM STILL HAS NOT SHIPPED YET THE DAY OF RELEASE.

    I am not going to die or anything because I couldn't join my friends in the opening days of WOTLK. Though I did put an enourmous amount of effort into my characters so that they would be ready to go into northrend and dominate the expansion which is now made a laughable sentiment seeing as how I will now be playing catch up.

    The only clear and clean way to put what I am fealing towards Amazon is that they FAILed me. Even with my expectations left a bit lax in understanding with what can happen in a service industry, Amazon has compleatly and catagorically failed to deliver satisfactory service to me. And I venture to say, a great many other costomers may feel similarly.

    On the off chance that Amazon reads what people write on their own site... I am going to give this challenge to Amazon directly. Find a way to make this situation right. Corporations, like people, are entitled to mistakes but they must also apologize and attempt to compensate for the mistakes they make. You as a company are treading on your customer's loyalty. And it isn't like you are the only place I can order any given product. I can simply enter the name of an item I wish to purchase into google and probably have 10k companies available to exchange my money for the goods or service desired. So you need to 1) apologize sincerely giving me the feeling that you recognize the mistake and will take steps to prevent another mistake like it. And you need to 2) do something substantial for me as a customer to win back my loyalty. By this I do not mean tweak a marketing ploy or give me something I don't want but I mean really give something that hurts a bit to give as a gesture of good will, and a reassurance that you regard me as a customer as something more then a number. Because I can chose to simply regard YOU as a number and one that I have tried and which failed me and move on to another company. In the interest of Damage Control for your company concerning this mistake I think you will find it wise and profitable to find a significant way to make this situation right. As it stands I will not be ordering Anything from you and I will actively discourage people I know from using you as a vendor.



    3 out of 5 stars Engaging, but more of the same.   November 18, 2008
     6 out of 8 found this review helpful

    I've played through the initial death knight introduction. It took me about two hours and there were some high points. The world changed as you complete quests, gradually the town got more and more torn up as you did the Lich King's bidding. That was pretty cool. One of the last quests was using a undead dragon to decimate the Scarlet Crusade's army. Way fun.

    My problem was with the quests. Most of them were kill X amount of civilians. Lame. Plus, rather than fight, the civilians would a) run and/or b) beg for their lives. It is sad that I empathize with computer characters, but I felt horrible for killing them and at the same time was pretty bored, because they didn't fight back. A half-hour of that is tiresome. (They kept saying "Please, I have family!" Made me feel like whale dirt.)

    So those are the initial pluses and minuses for me. I hope this helps.
