WoW: Wrath of the Lich King Release Date Announced

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.

Comments

Here, I'll get the basic comments out of the way..

[SilentChris]

* "It'll be more of the same."
* "You can never win an MMORPG. It's a never-ending treadmill."
* "Thank God I got off that crack a year ago."
* "It won't be as good as Eve/Warhammer/etc."
* "Blizzard isn't going to get another one of my dollars after that DMCA bullshit."
* "I'm waiting for Diablo 3/StarCraft 2."
* "I hate PC games. Console games rule."

I think I've covered the major ones. On that note, I have my copy on preorder.

Uh, I've been playing etc online for like a week. That game was crap. Eve/WAR maybe, but etc, never.

Yeah, but my doctor says I need the exercise.

WoW is like a treadmill that makes you fatter.

Every gnome in the game get ready to get your pink mohawk! ...buncha sheep. At least I'm not bitter.

Hmmm, I got modpoints today, I play WoW, *and* I'm a zealot and a troll - yup, it's an evil conspiracy!

Anybody who uses LOL in a forum that doesn't limit responses to the length of a cellular text message is most certainly a loser.

Re:The women! must not forget them

[WillAffleckUW]

Actually, most of my friends who play WoW are women, not men.

Think of all the poor hubbies who will be saying "But sweetness, can't I roll a death knight oo?"

To which their wives will say "Step away from my pink-haired Gnome Death Knight or you're sleeping on the couch tonight!"

Re:Itll keep the northrend clearer.

[tnk1]

This is good for everybody, for those who want to roll a DK right away, they can hang out in plague lands and the outland for a couple of weeks while everybody else hits the northrend, less competition for quests and resources.

You wish. The Chinese leveling service will be taking care of my 4 characters I need to get from 70-80 on my 2 other accounts while I play with my new DK on the third one.

Northrend isn't going to be less crowded, its just going to be a lot less social. When most of the conversations are going to be: "You make me food/waterrr?" and "Ni hao?", you aren't going to have much witty banter. And that's assuming that there aren't whole guilds who have turned on Glider.

Luckily, there's always the Barrens.

Roll a druid. Use the following macro.

/cast Wrath
/y KHAAAAAN

Sounds like a porno...

[Tetsujin]

I mean, really... "Wrath of the licking"? ...Yeah, I'd like to see that one.

Wait for the Misc. expansion.

Re:StarCraft

[Rebelgecko]

Yep, and we all have mod points today somehow... but seriously... I'm starting to wonder if the only people getting mod points and zealots and trolls...

Don't forget the zerglings!

Re:Wait... is that man made of straw?

[onefriedrice]

Also calculating the total paid and thinking its expensive is just ridiculous, I mean, will he stop eating because he spent a lot of money on food?

You're not really comparing WoW with food, are you? Really? I hope I won't have to explain how unrelated that comment is, since food is a necessity and WoW/[insert any MMORPG] is merely what you choose to do with your time...

[Hoi Polloi]

I prefer to play "e.g." myself (for example).

"Etc" just goes on, and on...
