If you're looking at this, you're probably already a WoW addict (or buying it for someone who is) so I'll leave those aspects out. If you don't know what WoW is yet, sign up for the 10 day free trial. Now on to the fine print: 1) You MUST have the first and second editions (WoW and Burning Crusade) already installed or this will not work. 2) This game does NOT include a free month (nor does Burning Crusade). Blizzard, the publisher, has learned from crack dealers that you give 'em the first one free, and charge for all the rest. 3) Be CERTAIN that what you're buying includes the product key (and that's not the free trial key that may be in the box, so you can share the joy with friends.) Without an unused product key, you're not going to be able to play this expansion. 4) You CAN buy the product key directly from Blizzard and download this. BUT you wont' get the manual, the cool box/artwork, or the install disks. The disks have come in handy when things get fouled up or the computer crashes, as it saves a LOT of download time, so they're still worth having/buying. 5) There is also a Special Edition of this (at a higher price) which give you a special (epic?) mount in game play, and extra goodies in the box. Is it worth it? To you it might be. 6) Don't buy this until you're at LEAST Level 40, probably more like 50-60. You'll be unlocking areas you can't get to, places your character/toon can't survive in for more than a minute or two anyway. Don't bother installing it for your friends when they come over, as they'll have their own add-ons, and won't use your machine unless desperate anyway.:) 7) Like the rest of WoW's editions, this is JUST the landscape on which to play. You can't do anything with it unless you continue to pay Blizzard $14.95 a month (slightly less when paid for 3 or more months in advance.) 8) This game is HIGHLY addictive. If you liked it well enough to buy the first expansion, you're already hooked. People have ignored their friends and loved ones, their work, jobs, etc. over this game. Keep it in perspective. It's a very GOOD interactive virtual reality, but it's still JUST A GAME. That said, I'm glad I bought it, addicted as I am. FOR THE HOARDE!!!Vollständige Rezension lesen
It’s been a few months since the second major expansion pack for World of Warcraft hit the shelves and the results have started to settle in so that we can all take a good hard look at what we were given this time around. There have been quite a few different Wrath of the Lich King reviews written thus far, and while most are glowing, many Wrath of the Lich King reviews were a bit rushed. So, here is a review written from a few weeks out with two level 80 characters in tow and a whole lot of perspective in hand. Presentation The first thing to touch on in any Wrath of the Lich King review is the presentation and this thing looks beautiful. Blizzard has really outdone themselves here by putting together one of the best looking new MMO expansions in years and quickly outdoing both other major releases in 2008. Northrend is instantly the best looking part of the game and has been scoured by players around the globe seeking out new things to watch and enjoy. Gameplay The gameplay in Northrend is very familiar – including many features that WoW players everywhere are used to. No Wrath of the Lich King review can honestly give full flying marks here because the game is really just a whole lot of grinding and item hunting all over again. However, if you enjoy WoW, you already know that and accept it. The real surprise here is that the game is so chock full of new content along with the familiar. Siege weapons, flying fights, quests that are fun and engaging and time travel all round out the best content yet in WoW – and there’s a whole heck of a lot of it. Northrend is huge. Depth The depth of the content, as noted in many Wrath of the Lich King reviews, is a mixed bag. The leveling experience is wonderful, taking players from one end of the continent to the other in 35-50 hours of gameplay with zones you can only do on the second run through. A new class, epic storylines, and deep quest lines with progressive instances are all welcome additions, but end-game content is still two months after launch with only 1 major raid and a few one-shot encounters. You’ll be hard pressed to stay busy after you reach level 80 and clear your raids. I don’t expect this will last long, but it is still a bit frustrating after all the buildup. Overall I cannot honestly say anything truly negative in this Wrath of the Lich King review without putting a caveat to explain it. So, we’ll just skip it all and say that Wrath of the Lich King is much better than the Burning Crusade, is full of exciting new content and is extremely satisfying for those who waited for two years to get back into the game. If the next expansion is this good, you can bet WoW’s audience will only get larger.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Wrath of the Lich King is an expansion pack to Blizzards acclaimed "Worlf of Warcraft". This expansion brings forth a progressing storyline, and additional continent with new areas, and various new skills. It is preceded by The Burning Crusade, and followed by Cataclysm. World of Warcraft is an immense world that you will find yoursel fplaying for hours on end, however I found that this game is only fun -with your friends-. Unless you enjoy slaying monsters and doing quests repetitively alone, you won't find this game fun. However, with a playerbase of just over 12 million, I'm sure you can find plenty of friends as fast as I did within just a few hours of playing. There are several major cities full of colorful people, but beware as there are players who will continually assault you with insults claiming that their character is better. We all had to start somewhere, didn't we? World of Warcraft places you in a position to become anything you want, from a Warrior, priest, shaman, to a rogue, druid (shapeshifter), and paladin. Not to mention the various races you can become. This game is so balanced, so simplified without taking away from the elements, that I warn you to not become so addicted to it so that it affects your actual life! It is that addictive. With friends. Don't have any friends that play? Invite them! Blizzard has an invitation service that'll earn you some neat in-game items, inlcuding a rocket mount! Oh, did I mention how gigantic the world is? It is huge, and you'll never truly explore every nook and cranny, because it'll continually be expanded. Most players won't pay attention to the quest dialogues, but if you do you'll see what an immersive storyline blizzard has crafted from their singleplayer games into World of Warcraft. Wrath of the Lich King brings the latest and greatest to the world, and you should be a part of it. Be on the look out for the next update, Cataclysm, that will change the world as you know it. Many maps will be changed, with an entire new skills and talents system update. Even if you're not sure about World of Warcraft, you can try a free 10 day trial on blizzard's website. I was, admittedly, bored as first.. but as soon as I got my buddies in on it we were playing for hours! So, c'mon, grab a friend, and enter the world of.. Warcraft.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Got this last year as an early Christmas gift and I was not disappointed. The new quests and dungeons are mostly well designed that give causal players ample opportunities to acquire decent items in relatively short periods. Compare with the last expansion, the new dungeons are relatively short but still provide good challenges for both causal and hardcore players, and the "heroic" feature of raid also offers varieties to both hardcore and causal players as they get to choose to do either a quick and easy run or a long and challenging raid. Overall I think Blizzard outdone itself in this expansion as it addresses some of the complaints players had with the last one. If you have the time and cash I highly recommend you to add this set to your WoW.
Four years and well beyond 10 million subscriptions after the release of World of Warcraft, Blizzard's phenomenally successful massively multiplayer online role-playing game is barely recognizable as the same game that sold almost a quarter of a million copies in its first 24 hours. The game has been in a near-constant state of evolution since 2004, and up until last month, the steady flow of new features and improvements had all been patched in for free, with only one exception: the Burning Crusade expansion pack that's required to play Wrath of the Lich King. The recently released second expansion pack doesn't boast as many back-of-the-box bullet points as its predecessor, and it doesn't offer anything for new players, but if you're still playing WOW or you're looking for an excuse to get back into it, this thrilling new adventure is not to be missed. All of the new content in Wrath of the Lich King comes with a character-level requirement. You can't play the new death knight hero class until one of your existing characters reaches level 55, and you can't attempt any quests in the new Northrend continent until you're at level 68. The most significant exception to this rule would have been the new inscription-crafting profession, but that ended up being patched in shortly before the expansion's release alongside new talents for every character class in the game, an Xbox Live-style achievements system, barbershops, an extremely useful in-game calendar, and numerous user-interface improvements. There's new content for low-level players, but you don't need the expansion pack to get it.Vollständige Rezension lesen
