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.

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.

 Surpasses all othersAug 31, 2010
This game is by far the most immersive and enjoyable game I've ever played. Excellent balance in every aspect, gameplay, details, enjoyment are all top-notch. If you don't like MMORPG games at all, this may not appeal to you, but otherwise, it is simply amazing. The designers listen intently to the views of their customers and adjust (eventually) to legitimate criticisms. An excellent game even without multiplayer functions.
Only con is that it is a little pricey, but I can't think of another entertainment option that provides as much value for $15/month.
Good!Aug 21, 2010

 game sucks, world pvp DEAD, the fun is GONEJul 03, 2010
do you like to world PvP? do you like to do whatever you please when you please? and most importantly, do you like to have FUN in WoW? if you answered yes to any of these, this game isnt for you.
I have played this game over a year with every single day thinking to myself that one day ill find world pvp and have fun. first it was when id hit 80, then it was when id gear up in the painful bgs and arena, then it was uh... it was then i realized world pvp and most of all fun has been gone for so long, that blizzard made sure of that.
Blizzard has just come up with a system in which you are hooked on their game. nothing more, nothing less. you keep clicking your mouse, you keep receiving a reward through badges, honor, arena, and a billion other tokens. everybody is always busy, no one QQs to GMs about being ganked, and no one is ever available to do things outside of these robotic activities. i absolutely hate this game and can't believe blizzard is the same company that was behind the original vanilla. but then again, to them vanilla wow was a mistake. all the wars and world pvp they made sure they killed with Arena season and Bgs, which become so boring that you just wanna shoot yourself. every few months you just redo the same crap and i absolutely hate their pvp system. i dont want to pvp to get gear, i want to pvp to have fun. oh and lets not forget how they killed it with randoms, achievements, and a billion other things they have players hooked on.
this game should be called world of WORKcraft, because i feel like its my second j.o.b. outside of my 9 to 5.
if i could give this game a zero, i would. i guess in the end it always comes to one thing... MONEY. they care more about their pet store and milking the customers for their celestial steed mount than bringing back the entire purpose for why this game was created... "WAR"craft............ what a bunch of sell outs.
