That said, I'm glad I bought it, addicted as I am. It's a very GOOD interactive virtual reality, but it's still JUST A GAME. People have ignored their friends and loved ones, their work, jobs, etc. If you liked it well enough to buy the first expansion, you're already hooked. You can't do anything with it unless you continue to pay Blizzard $14.95 a month (slightly less when paid for 3 or more months in advance.)Ĩ) This game is HIGHLY addictive. Don't bother installing it for your friends when they come over, as they'll have their own add-ons, and won't use your machine unless desperate anyway.:)ħ) Like the rest of WoW's editions, this is JUST the landscape on which to play. You'll be unlocking areas you can't get to, places your character/toon can't survive in for more than a minute or two anyway. Is it worth it? To you it might be.Ħ) Don't buy this until you're at LEAST Level 40, probably more like 50-60.

FIRESTORM WOW POPULATON DOWNLOAD
The disks have come in handy when things get fouled up or the computer crashes, as it saves a LOT of download time, so they're still worth having/buying.ĥ) There is also a Special Edition of this (at a higher price) which give you a special (epic?) mount in game play, and extra goodies in the box.
FIRESTORM WOW POPULATON INSTALL
BUT you wont' get the manual, the cool box/artwork, or the install disks.
FIRESTORM WOW POPULATON TRIAL
Blizzard, the publisher, has learned from crack dealers that you give 'em the first one free, and charge for all the rest.ģ) Be CERTAIN that what you're buying includes the product key (and that's not the free trial key that may be in the box, so you can share the joy with friends.) Without an unused product key, you're not going to be able to play this expansion.Ĥ) You CAN buy the product key directly from Blizzard and download this. Now on to the fine print:ġ) You MUST have the first and second editions (WoW and Burning Crusade) already installed or this will not work.Ģ) This game does NOT include a free month (nor does Burning Crusade). If you don't know what WoW is yet, sign up for the 10 day free trial. If you're looking at this, you're probably already a WoW addict (or buying it for someone who is) so I'll leave those aspects out. Like the Burning Crusade before it, Wrath of the Lich King requires the original World of WarCraft for subscribers to access the new content. In addition to the new hero class, hundreds of new recipes per profession and thousands of new items find their way into the expansion, along with new 25-player raids, heroic dungeons, alternate mounts, and other surprises. While death knights do not have the benefit of carrying shields, they have the ability to cast spells based on specific rune types equipped on weapons. The developers view the death knight as primarily a tanking class, one that serves as an alternative to warriors in the same vein as druids or paladins. To access the death knight class, players must first reach a specific level and complete an elaborate quest chain. Yet the most notable addition to Wrath of the Lich King is the online role-playing game's first hero class: the death knight. For the first time in the series, existing characters can be customized with new hairstyles and even dances. Player-controlled siege weapons are also found within this area, for opposing factions to raze entire buildings. While Wrath of the Lich King includes a 15-man instanced battleground, player-versus-player combat is reintroduced on a global scale in a free-for-all zone available to everyone regardless of server type. A new inscription profession allows well-trained individuals to augment spells and abilities with additional effects. The level cap has increased an additional ten levels, with each class able to learn new spells or abilities during the climb to level 80. As in the Burning Crusade expansion, five-man parties will delve into instanced dungeons to complete quests and leave with new weapons, armor, and other treasures. Northrend is divided into ten themed zones, each home to unlikely allies, new races, and powerful creatures such as ice trolls, wendigos, flesh giants, proto-dragons, and plague eruptors.

High-level adventurers will explore a new continent, the arctic wasteland of Northrend, to battle Arthas and his lethal legion. The Lich King Arthas, a former paladin, commands the undead armies of the Scourge with the singular purpose of plunging the world of the living into complete and utter chaos.
