As most of the world probably knows by the lack of people actually showing up to their jobs, kind of like the world cup, World of Warcraft’s 3rd Expansion, Wrath of the Lich King has launched! At first I was never going to get this game because Warhammer Online had just came out and I was hoping for a game that would finally dethrone WoW as the best MMORPG in my book. Sad to say, that didn’t happen. There just isn’t that much to do in Warhammer right now and you can tell by how stale the servers get, and this comes from me a high ranking officer in a huge guild on one of the most popular servers. I was anxious to see if Wrath of the Lich King would live up to the hype or just peeter out as the franchise of WoW comes to an end.

I am pleased to say for Blizzard and the 11+ million subscribers out there, that WoW is so solid that I don’t think it will be going anywhere anytime soon, even with the bad graphics compared to Warhammer and Age of Conan. There are somethings, such as play-abliity and gameplay, that you just have and WoW has both of them.

So far Leveling in Northrend has been fun, the zones are Huge and there are over 130 quests in each of the first two zones that you can start in. The leveling doesn’t take too long and if you are going at a leisurely rate you could probably still pull a level a day.

From the hour or so I spent of my Death Knight I will have to say that I am diggin it to the fullest.

This expansion pack actually feels like an expansion pack to me and not just a content patch that we had to pay for like TBC did. I can’t wait to get to 80 and start raiding again because that is my favorite part of the game, as a rogue I do love the competitiveness involved in maintaining your raid spot.

Do you play WoW? Excited for the Expansion? What’s your favorite part of the game? If you have any thoughts / ideas about WoW post a comment and let us know!
