The Wrath of the Lich King ClassicTM by Blizzard Entertainment is currently live, according to the chilly winds of Northrend, which are wailing once more. Players can join in right away to start their adventures in the icy wastes of Azeroth’s northern continent if they have an active subscription, which grants them free access to the recreation of WoWacclaimed ®’s second expansion. All realms that were previously reserved for World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade ClassicTM content now offer access to the legendary story.
Before facing the infamous Lich King in Icecrown Citadel and putting a stop to his ruthless destruction, players will embark on a perilous journey across beautiful environments, facing enemies unlike those found anywhere else in Azeroth. They will also complete a number of tasks.
The rise of the terrifying Death Knight hero class, accessible to all players (even brand-new ones!) and beginning at level 55, the first iteration of the World of Warcraft achievement system to recognise various in-game accomplishments, and the Inscription profession, which allows players to scribe ability-enhancing glyphs that change the appearance and modify the properties of spells and abilities are all part of this journey.
The fundamental experience of this cherished expansion, which debuted in 2008, has been meticulously preserved, while some social and gameplay features have been updated for the current and Classic audience. The experience of establishing groups naturally has been preserved while the present grouping tools have evolved.
Other quality-of-life enhancements that have been designed to preserve the essence of Classic and make sure that players’ treks across Northrend are as rewarding as they are difficult will also be visible to players.
The World of Warcraft vice president and executive producer Holly Longdale said, “Wrath of the Lich King Classic contains an iconic adventure from a pivotal moment in Azeroth’s history. We love this expansion and have carefully balanced both the nostalgia for veteran players and the modernization needed for players discovering it for the first time.
“We’ve worked hard to ensure that all players can experience everything that the vast continent of Northrend has to offer. This includes paying special attention to the way players group for raids as well as their end-game travels.”
The focus of Classic is community, and there is a tonne of group content for players to explore with friends: starting today, 12 dungeons are accessible as part of the player levelling and maximum-level experience, and a total of 16 will be made accessible throughout the expansion.
Eye of Eternity, Obsidian Sanctum, and Naxxramas are the first three of the seven raids that may be completed on October 6. Thereafter, players can continue their adventures in Ulduar, Trial of the Crusader, Icecrown Citadel, and Ruby Sanctum in later patches.
The following two enhancements are available for purchase on Battle.net for anyone wishing to further improve their experience:
The Northrend Heroic Upgrade includes a level-70 character boost, Pebble the pet penguin, Fishspeaker’s Lucky Lure, a toy that allows you to summon your very own tuskarr fishing companion, as well as the necessary gear, mount, beginning gold, and expert riding skill.
All the equipment from the heroic upgrade are included in the Northrend Epic Upgrade, which also includes 30 days of game time and either the flying Tuskarr Shoreglider mount for non-Classic characters or the flying Kalu’ak Whalebone Glider mount for Classic characters.
