Believe it or not, it’s been four years since World of Warcraft opened its awaiting arms to would-be adventurers, and nearly two years since its first expansion, The Burning Crusade. Regardless of this slightly languid release schedule, WOW continues to be wildly popular, and thus Blizzard are willing to swing the punch of an expansion at the most competitive time in gaming. ...

We thought we quit World of Warcraft. We thought that grinding for XP, farming reputation and raiding in our underpants till our eyes bled were things of the past. But every time we think we cut ties with our old avatars, Blizzard somehow manages to reel us back in. They got us with The Burning Crusade. They did it again with Zul’Aman in patch 2.3. And after scoring some hands-on time with the latest build of Wrath of the Lich King, it ...

Warcraft lore and some educated guesswork hold vital clues to the structure of Northrend. But there's also that release...
Feb 1, 2008
First off, the Lich Kings release date is still firmly under wraps, but a public beta running for several months up to the official release is a dead cert. Not only did the The Burning Crusade get one, but Christmas gifts sent out by Blizzard to its most devoted fans came adorned with a beta code for an unnamed product - which suggests it cant be far off.

Jeff Kaplan, the lead designer on World of Warcraft, explains just how you'll itch that Lich
Jan 30, 2008
With each successive expansion, the “level-price” of entry is growing higher and higher. The Burning Crusade was designed mostly for characters that were already very high level. And now Wrath of the Lich King requires near-max level as well. So why do you have to be so obscenely powerful to enter Northrend?
As lead designer Jeff Kaplan explained on Monday, “Players between levels 30 and 40 already have so many things to do in WOW that they havent run out of content ...

One of the most amazing things about World of Warcraft is how well its back story ties in with Blizzards WarCraft RTS games. The level of detail in its stories and characters, and they way they all interact, is astonishing. So a working knowledge of WarCraft III may not give absolute meaning to your endless monster killing, but at least makes you feel part of a glorious whole.
The Lich King was the main human character of WarCraft III - the paladin Prince Arthas Menethil. Arthas downfall began ...
