WoW: Wrath of the Lich King Release Date Announced

Posted by Soulskill on from the zug-zug dept.

Mini-Geek and many others tipped news that Blizzard has announced the release date for Wrath of the Lich King , World of Warcraft's second expansion. It will be in stores on November 13th in the US and Europe. They've also released details about the contents of the Collector's Edition. Wrath will be preceded by a large content patch, which will expand the talent trees and include many of the gameplay changes set for the expansion (including the consolidation of spell damage and healing into 'spellpower,' achievements, and a new profession). The patch was installed on the public test realm yesterday, and the current patch notes are available.

    It's time for losers all over America to leave the real world behind and retreat to a video game.

    Say goodbye to your nerdiest friends. Unless you are also a loser nerd.

    Then I guess you can hook up with them in the new WoW game...

    Everquest 1 and 2 are coming out with expansions too. But provide better content; unlike World of Warcrap.

    well... 19.99 + 29.99 + 29.99 = 79.97 so that gets you WoW, WoW:BC, WoW:WOTLK November 23, 2004 - November 23, 2008 @14.99 per mon = 719.52 for 4 years $799.49 grand total. Yeah, I mean that's a totally reasonable price for 1 game and 2 expansions.... or not.

    The truth! It burns! Your comment will of course be followed up by the following comments: "It's cheaper than *.*" Blizzard. Stealing the human soul four years running and mankind is still blissfully unaware! MUHAHAHAHA! /slurping sound of creature eating human eyes

  8. Play? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Does anyone still play this game? I would have thought most players would have grown up and left school by now. Life gets in the way. Or perhaps WOW has destroyed many lives!

    Personally I think games like WOW make it easier for the rest of us to get jobs.

      If you were looking for a job at McDonald's, maybe? I kind of doubt that is even a viable option. There is no "I play a little." with these games. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HicElm2PIGQ

    A week on a cruise hanging out in an exotic remote location, and interacting with people, local culture, trying new foods, etc is well worth $800 more so than sitting in the basement playing a computer game for 4 years.

    If you want to play games go ahead, but they are raping you on the monthly price and you continue to do nothing but grab your ankles.

    Its hard to find anything entertaining that costs around 0.5c per hour.

    I didn't realize you could buy anything for 1/2 a copper, and definitely not anything in the Real World, pennies being primarily zinc.
