In the first expansion to the biggest MMORPG of all time, the World of Warcraft extends across the Dark Portal that had originally brought the Horde to Azeroth. Players can now take their seasoned characters to explore an entirely new world with some new rules.
The expansion enables characters to level to 70. The ten extra talent points available at level 70 can go toward the newly expanded talent trees. Each class gains several new skills. Two new races are introduced--Blood Elves for Horde and Draenei for the Alliance. Horde will now have access to Paladins and the Alliance will now have access to Shamans. Raids will be focused in smaller 25 player groups. A new PVP system makes awards more achievable by the casual gamer. Players will also be able to fly with new mounts. The expansion includes new professions, item sets for more varied character builds, and much more.

1@necron101,
I did post this yesterday...however, in the actual press release I did miss one interesting snippet;-
"World of Warcraft’s Subscriber Definition
World of Warcraft subscribers include individuals who have paid a subscription fee or have an active prepaid card to play World of Warcraft, as well as those who have purchased the game and are within their free month of access. Internet Game Room players who have accessed the game over the last thirty days are also counted as subscribers
This model of accessing MMO's is very popular in Asia and likely to make up a statistically significant percentage of WoW users (though nowhere near the majority obviously). I would see it as questionable however if you can count these users as having "purchased" the Expansion packs.
Currently we are predicting more than the total subscriber base as GLS for the Lich King. I think that's questionable anyway but it's doubly so given that many users will log in at their local Internet cafe to play the game without buying anything.
Subscribers != Sales![ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 291 ]
