World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Expansion Pack Review
I got LK for an x-mas gift installed it and ran to make my blood elf death knight. I enjoyed doing the new dk starter quests and even outlands asa new class (since i have one of each class. I should note i’ve been playing since 2005). Northrend looks intentence and seems to be one of the best made zones to date, but with all this great pve (player vs everything) and new class there is one major down fall. I pvp (player vs player) alot of my end game gear since do to work and other rela life issues i don’t have the time to raid or to join an arena group. Yet it seems that blizzard left litte to be diseried for us pvpers. Most games are about 5-10 mins long with lop sided teams (20 vs 40. 3 vs 10 etc..). So if you love to raid and do herioics your in for a treat if you love to pvp you’re gonna be left in the cold.

I’ve played alot of MMORPGs and there is a reason why World of Warcraft is so successful. It attracts the masses because it is so diverse in player demographics. This new Expansion Pack does a great job in creating game content that is available for hardcore and casual gamers. It gives hardcore gamers the appropriate challenges of working together and doing 5+ hour raids, but also allows casual gamers to get a taste of raiding with the Vault of Archavon. Even if you are maxed out in every way possible there is always something else to do. The daily quests and acheivement scores can keep you busy for weeks if not months. Overall, there are alot of new concepts in this expansion pack and it is well worth the money you will shell out for it. It’s a must-have.

This is a great expansion being a new player the Death Knight story blew everything i had ever seen before right out of the water. There are tons of great dungeons and it great to have my Character continue to level. Overall this expansion is excellent if you own World of Warcraft if not now is a great time to start.

For the most part, this is by far the best incarnation of WoW yet. Northrend is joy to quest in since it looks nice, has excellent lore (at least for the alliance) that involves you like never before, and a new class that is really fun to play. However, after awhile the novelty of all this new stuff wears off and you’re left with the end game content to keep you playing. As someone who can’t raid, I was really looking forward to getting to run the new heroics and things. However, Blizzard’s new philosophy on the “difficulty scaling” of the game has pretty much completely changed the way end game content runs. After less than a month of playing, my friends and I were tearing through the heroics like nothing. Its hard to get psyched for new gear when you can already dominate in what you have. Heroics in TBC were basically hard as heck raids for 5 people, and I miss that. Heroics aren’t the only casualty to the new system: I’ve never seen so many people with the best gear in the game before just running around. My friends that do raid have nothing left to do, and are now just epicly gearing out all their alts. That situation will be fixed with patches, but it stinks to have to just wait for everything. This is basically the first time playing the game I (and my friends) were left with nothing to do except level alts. I can’t really comment on the pvp state of the game since that’s not my thing (bg’s are the most frustrating thing ever… especially on Alliance). In summary, exploring the new world for the first time is fun, but that’s about it. If you can’t raid and aren’t obsessed with pvp, find an alt you love or be prepared for boredom.
