Second World of Warcraft Expansion Launched, Conquered

The much-anticipated second expansion to World of Warcraft, entitled Wrath of the Lich King, launched on Thursday, introducing a new continent, raising the level cap to 80, and bringing a wealth of new items, spells, dungeons, and monsters to the popular MMO. Crowds gathered and lines formed outside stores around the world leading up to the release. Massively has put together a series of articles for players wishing to familiarize themselves with the expansion, and CVG has a piece discussing the basics as well. It didn't take long for the first person to reach level 80; a French player called "Nymh" reached the level cap on his Warlock only 27 hours after the expansion went live. Not to be outdone, a guild named "TwentyFifthNovember" managed to get at least 25 raiders to 80 and then cleared all of the current expansion raid content less than three days after the launch. Fortunately for them, the next three content patches are each expected to contain new, more difficult raids.

    i have 2 70s, a 62 dk, a 32 warrior a 43 lock, a 40 mage a 43 hunter and a 16 druid, and i can tell you that your perceptive is totally distorted.

    it has been made so that you are getting levels even if you cough up. all quests and monsters give 30% more xp from level 25 to level 70 now. getting to level 25 is just 8 hours or so playtime at most.

    even casual players are rapidly leveling up now. if you arent able, then there is a problem with your setup.
