Wrath of the Lich King

Blizzard has trademarked the title "Wrath of the Lich King" for the next expansion:http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/08/02/wo ... -blizzard/

I'm excited about new content - and love the name!  I just hope they dont do another 10 levels and make all of our progression worthless ..Actually, the more I think about it -- wouldn't this make the current instances obsolete much the same way it did AQ/MC/etc..?  I hope they figure out a way to deal with that this time (heroic Black Temple?) ...

My prediction is that there isn't any new levels in the new expansion, but there is the rumour floating about that there'll be a new class - the deathknight - perhaps. From what i read in the pure speculation, it's supposed to be a shadow paladin of sorts.

Bah - spoke too soon. I guess it's offically announced now. So, level cap of 80, eh? At least you don't have to grind your new death knight all the way from 1..

Official link: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath/index.xml Lvl cap 80: Hero class: Death Knight (starts at high lvl, many say at 60), unlock after attunement (prolly a huge chain quest) Just like the old raid loot, many lvl 71-80 greens will surpass the epics from now. Only thing is, there is no release date, and i think it was just a tease for the players, a 2nd expansion cant be released same year (business will lose on that), so at least spring '08, but general oppinion on forums is that is summer/fall '08 (to match Warhammer, or a bit be4)

so does that make the new class a necromancer? if so ... sweet
