World of Warcraft: Wrath of Lich King


World of Warcraft: Wrath of Lich King is the newest expansion for the ever famous rpg game World of Warcraft. In Lich King theres some new content but the bad part is that you can't actually get this new content until your lvl 55. For example you can't play the new class Death Knight until one of your character's reaches lvl 55. This makes the expansion pack not really too great for new players.Regardless of where you choose to start your Wrath of the Lich King adventure, it'll quickly become apparent that considerable effort has gone into making the new content compelling. There are still plenty of fetch quests, and there's certainly no shortage of non-player characters looking for heroes to kill a certain number of whichever species or faction they have a beef with. Liberally sprinkled in among those genre requisites, though, are some quite different challenges that not only add some much-needed variety but, in some cases, also do a great job of immersing you in Warcraft's rich lore. Previously, WOW relied on you reading the briefings that bookend quests for its storytelling, but in Wrath of the Lich King, it's often the quests themselves that get the job done along with a handful of in-game cutscenes. You might go into the expansion not knowing your Arthas from your elbow, but after questing in Northrend for a while, you'll inevitably gain some understanding of just why the world of Warcraft needs so many heroes.

Playing through the death knight's starting area also exposes you to some interesting Warcraft lore, and doing so is recommended even if you have no intention of playing the new class beyond that point. It's only fair to warn you that death knights can be tough to put down, though; not only are they very powerful and fun to play, but they also start at level 55, they get a free epic mount, and they're fully decked out with great-looking blue (rare) gear by the time they leave their starter area at level 58 or so. It's unfortunate that you need to gain another 10 levels playing through Burning Crusade content before you can accept any quests in Northrend, but the death knight is such a powerful class with so little downtime that you can get through it relatively quickly. Players sticking with their nonhero classes will almost certainly feel compelled to tell you that your new death knight is overpowered at some point, and they're right, at least as far as leveling and questing is concerned. The death knight is also one of the more complex classes to play well, and unfortunately it's too soon to comment on how they fare in player-versus-player scenarios.

There are many new quests in this game that feature you to get at the hands of a vehicle. Though most of the quests in Lich King aren't really too fulfilling since most of them aren't too difficult to accomplish. Though for some of the boss drops, you have to play through the dungeons on hero difficulty which makes the monsters harder. This quest is only available for those who have reached the new level cap of 80.

Overall this is a great game for any WoW fans looking for some additional new content and are above lvl 55.
