Not long ago at Blizzcon 2007, the new expansion for the hit game "World of Warcraft" was announced.
[I, of course, knew that the expansion was coming days before it was officially announced, because a German rating website accidentily leaked it...thank you, G4!]
The expansion was named "World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King."
Take that in for a second.
Wrath of the Lich King.
Hm, who is THAT again?
Oh, Arthas.
Hm.
. . .
Now it'll hit you.
The expansion opens up 10 more levels to rise up in, new character emotes, looks, and hairstyles, the ability to travel to Northrend, new dungeons with destructable buildings and siege weapons, a new profession known as inscripting (described as 'enchanting for spells'), the new unlockable Death Knight class (If you think Death Knight is awesome, read on) which is able to SUMMON SCOURGE and starts out at level 60, fight Arthas HIMSELF,
And take Frostmourne from his corpse.
. . .
Wow.
And guess what? Blizzard has officially stated that Death Knight is but one of the many coming Hero classes.
And that means that there will be more expansions.
Hail Blizzard. After a long period of screw-ups, they're pulling this kind of stuff off. Rock on, Blizzard. Make America proud.
