Without having to make this post 10x longer than it needs to be with images and the likes, let’s just agree that the Scourge are going to be pretty much everywhere in the expansion and there won’t be a single zone where you will not have to kill a zombie or skeleton or other affront [...]

This is one of those I told you so moments.
Right now on the PTR, the first parts for Stormwind Harbor are showing up. You can find the Harbor entrance at the northern canal wall between the Park and Cathedral districts in Stormwind. Construction workers from <The Royal Stonecutters Guild> have been added to Stormwind for [...]

No details yet folks, sadly, and Bornakk has gone out of his way again to reaffirm the fact that there is no information. A lot of time I see places like Gamestop and Amazon offering pre-orders for WotLK or the Collector’s Edition and wonder to myself how the hell can they do that when we [...]

Maybe this thing will keep snowballing. We got Koraa (a Shaman class designer at Blizzard) posting on our forums regularly now and her cryptic message about the Shaman community being finally vindicated in WotLK seems to be holding water.
Totems are in the physical school now. (src)
This means that even when Silenced or Spell Locked you [...]

I have two Lv. 70 Shaman. I’ve got one in pretty much full T4 armor with bits and pieces of T5 and T6 equivalent weapons and items. The other was my original Orc Shaman with roughly 30,000 lifetime honor kills, a full season 1 elemental set that I got in the arenas not in the [...]

Let me show you something. Penguins are black & white flightless birds found in Northrend. Tuskarr breed penguins as farm animals. It seems that wild penguins are led by a large member of the race known as the Penguin King. That comes from the Wiki. As well if you played Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne [...]

I think that one of the biggest fears players have with the whole Death Knight thing is that a bunch of scrubs who don’t know how to play will basically get a free ride to Lv. 55 and then get to the end game and not know a damn thing.
Stupid.
I know TONS of people in [...]

Alright this is going to be a big post. People are pretty vocal about their thoughts on the Death Knight class. I am pretty much jumping for joy at this prospect but am holding my tongue at first until we get a little further down the Beta road and get some more security as to [...]

As always you know nothing is final until the game is on store shelves but for the most part this is pretty much set for the expansion.
It means on realm X, you can have only 1 Deathknight. On realm Y, you can have only 1 Deathknight. But technically, once you have a character to unlock [...]

Somebody actually likes BRD. I mean yeah it’s not a bad instance but it’s about as big as Hellfire Peninsula and a royal pain in the ass unless you have GPS or a Sherpa guide.
Anyways here’s some more verification on what Blizzard has planned for the 5-man content in Wrath. I reported this from the [...]

I was going to report this yesterday but I wanted to let the thread grow a bit and get more of Nethaera’s special touch to it before I spread it here. There are a lot of really good questions that will most likely make it into the official FAQ for the expansion regarding Death Knights, [...]

Well like I said before it’s not really 100% official until Blizzard decides to put it up on their site. Lo and Behold. (src)
We’ve just updated the official Wrath of the Lich King web site with new information about the upcoming expansion. Visit the new death knight class page to learn more about the [...]

So Wowinsider and a couple of other sites got slapped by Blizzard. Good for them, don’t fuck with the NDA dammit. Anyway good news is Blizzard has done some official announcements on their own site regarding th Death Knight gameplay and talents!
Class Roles

Tank: The plate-wearing death knight is a capable tank for small groups as [...]

This is a very good question. Many of us play on a server that has been designated as “full” meaning that server may not be at 100% capacity but you’re not allowed to create anymore new characters (new as in different account) on the server.  With the addition of the Death Knight class you’re only [...]

The site to signup for the Friend & Family Alpha is available and I guess we can consider that the alpha officialy started. As a reminder this is restricted to Blizzard’s employees and their friends/family and it’s not public in any way, you won’t get any mail related to this phase of the beta.

In case you see it anywhere on the web, Blizzard has not given any information that can be legitimately sourced and quoted regarding class changes in the coming expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. So if you see “leaked Rogue talents here oooh~” then don’t click anything on it (lol keyloggers), don’t panic over it, [...]

So I figure this is going to be a long post. I’ll break it up into about 3 different articles to make it easier for you all to keep track of everything. So in the past 24 hours I’ve been asked a few times about what my thoughts are on the next expansion. Not so [...]

Yesterday I made mention that Tigole announced Blizzard’s plans to remove the Amani Bear Mount from the game. It makes sense because Blizzard wants to keep the mount as a sort of status symbol, like titles were in the old PVP system. Basically it means that when new players join the game after Wrath is [...]

Well, now the news is starting to trickle out as slow as it was before if not a little more frequent. Here are the sources of pretty much every bit of information that has come out for Wrath of the Lich King over the weekend. It’s a whole new week with an entirely new world [...]

Earlier, Blizzard added the Nexus to the official Wrath of the Lich King website. The story has been fleshed out enough to give a little more insight as to what the deal is between the mages of the world and Malygos. It seems like this is going to be a really sweet story and the [...]

Ok, let me explain. Before the Burning Crusade launched, we got all kinds of nice preview pages on the official website that let us see the new talents, play with the new talent builder, we saw new spells and zones and such. SO! With that in mind you would agree that it only makes sense [...]

Now don’t start freaking out more than you probably are. Of course everything is going to look overpowered right now for Death Knights. You start at about Lv. 55 for goodness sake you bellend. Blizzard’s making a new class so it’s going to be all hyped and crazy over the top until they release the [...]

Here’s what you’ve been waiting for all my fellow crafters out there. More detailed news on what’s going on with crafting in the expansion is hitting the deck and it all looks great so far. Anybody play Diablo 2? You were able to get an item socketed in that game (towards the end) and this [...]

I’ve already gone into a lot of details about the specifics about how Northrend is going to be worked out and as well how mounts will be unlocked at Lv. 77 and other general game changes in the way things work. This here though caught me by surprise and got me all excited about the [...]

In Wyrmrest Temple there’s a raid instance similar to Onyxia’s Lair where it’s a small raid instance with a single encounter in the Chamber of Aspects. We plan to put a raid encounter in there and let you take part in that and initially we plan to go with one raid encounter, but if we [...]

A lot of what’s in the interview has already been posted by me earlier today but here are some high points I don’t believe I covered. It’s A LOT of information to process today.

Karazhan showed Blizzard that 10-man raids could work, and were good for more casual players/small guilds; on the other hand, more hardcore [...]

Here are a few more confirmed details regarding Northrend and the game’s direction.

Even if you’ll be able to meet him as soon as you reach Dragonblight (LVL 71-75), the final encounter against Arthas won’t be until the last patch of the Lich King cycle. The Icecrown Citadel, will appear after launch. (Eurogamer.net)
Dragonblight will also let [...]

Finally some more detail on the biggest part of the expansion (from a gameplay POV) that I am looking forward to. Lake Wintergrasp.

The new vehicle technology, which introduces physics and handling characteristics - including inertia, turning circle, grip and suspension bounce - to land and airborne vehicles and special mounts. (Eurogamer.net)
It also allows for up [...]

This information is what really gets me going about the expansion. We got information on how Northrend raiding and dungeons are going to work!

All 5-man dungeons will have a Heroic mode. Yay!
Heroic dungeons will have a separate loot table than non-Heroics. Yay x2!
A new token system will be used, similar to the Badge of Justice [...]
