World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Preview

The less-than-PC-savvy guys over at UGO Games Blog were able to spend some hands-on time with World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King at BlizzCon, and have kicked up a quick preview based on their experience.

I want to be a Death Knight. In the spirit of full disclosure, I’ll admit I’m a console gamer and brand new to PC gaming. And here I am at Blizzcon, trying to play the new expansion pack, Wrath of the Lich King. Cory Stockton, lead designer for WoW told me that a ton of features have been added. The first 60 levels are easier to attain, (which is good, because I’m about to start playing) the level cap has been raised to 80 and there is a brand new class, the Death Knight. He starts at level 55, by the way so you can’t have him if you’re just starting out. So my first attempt was playing as one of the undead…at level 80.
