The latest chapter of the Rise of the Lich King story “Shattering the Frozen Throne” is now available on the official Wotlk site, you can read about it here.

Jeff Kaplan aka Tigole in an Interview with Curse:

Nexus
In the Borean Tundra (2nd starting zone with Howling Fjord) there will be the Nexus. Here you will be able to find the blue dragons splitted between 3 instances :

  • A level 70-71, 5 players instance (Ice Caverns).
  • A level 80 instance that will let you fight on/against big magical rings that float above the grounds (o_O)
  • A rift in the open sky where you can fight against Malygos in a 25 person raid. (Like Gruul or Onyxia, it will be a rather short raid)

Dustwallow Marsh
A new goblin town will be added to Dustwallow Marsh with new quests may be even before Wrath of the Lich King - many new quests to get more wow gold.

Faster leveling for Twinks
In a future patch (also before the expansion), levels 20 to 60 will have the experience required per-level xp reduced and quests will yield 30% more experience.  This may help china farmers actually. Farming for wow gold starts with level 60. When blizzard bans all the accounts of the wow gold farmers they will need less time to level up new characters so the price for world of warcraft gold should stay at a more constant level.

Heroic Badges
A long with the tons of new cool items added to the heroic badge vendor in patch 2.3, they’re considering the possibility to add armor sets as heroic badges rewards. Only wow gold wont help you here^^

Utgarde Keep
The first dungeon of World of Warcraft WotLK will have two wings. One being Utgarde Keep, a level 70 instance for 5 players. The second one is Utgarde Pinnacle, this one will be level 80 for 5 players. Both instances will have heroic modes.

Inscription profession
They don’t want a profession to just do spell improvements like +100 damage, instead they want it to be something that let you increase the radius of your frost nova, or increase the root timer of the spell, etc …

Hunters

  • Hunters may get a “woodworking” profession in the future, to let them create arrows. (But it will be released much later, don’t expect it for WotLK)
  • They’re trying to improve the desirability of hunters in arenas, one of the idea is to give them a mortal strike-like shot that reduces the healing effectiveness on the target.

As the new Addon “Wrath of the Lich King” is coming, I copied the new features from the official Wrath of the Lich King site and commented them:

Wrath of the Lich King Features

Warth of the Lich King

  • Master the ne cromantic powers of the Death Knight - World of Warcraft’s first Hero class. Hope he will not be as overpowered as the Warlock.
  • Quest to level 80, gaining potent new abilities and talents along the way. The same as every year, but the greatest joy :)
  • Learn the craft of spell augmentation with the new Inscription profession. Sounds hot and funny! But I think it will create a lot of unbalanced force. Increasing fireball ranges etc.
  • Brave the harsh new continent of Northrend, the icy domain of the Lich King. The old warcraft 3 pros might already know northrend by heart according to the Blizzcon Presentation Video, the whole continent will not be snowy.
  • Engage in epic siege warfare, deploying mighty siege engines to lay waste to destructible buildings in your path. Yihaaaaa, destroying buildings and being able to blow them up. Seems like Al Qaida has found new recruiting grounds. No honestly its great!
  • Transform your hero’s look with new character-customization options, including new hairstyles and dances. Finally I will be able to change the fucking hairstyle of my dwarf which I chose 2 years ago. Plastic Surgery is hopefully the next step.
  • Explore perilous new dungeons filled with some of the deadliest creatures — and greatest treasures — on Azeroth.
  • And much, much more…

    WoW Auctioneer-Beardo

    The GMs of Blizzard have confirmed that auctions in the AH do indeed continue during a downtime. This means that if you find an auction with a low bid using Auctioneer and bid on it right before the server goes down, you can get it unbelievably cheap.

    This plan may help ease the pain of downtimes by knowing that you are at least making some WoW gold!

    There are many that claim that the release of World of Warcraft / WoW The Burning Crusade, has ruined what was World of Warcraft / WoW before. So this time it’s not complaining about World of Warcraft / WoW Gold farmers or complaining about WoW Players that buy cheap World of Warcraft / WoW Gold…

    Outland quest rewards are too powerful, rendering most Azerothian goods obsolete and making much previous raiding experience completely useless. The addition of Paladins to the Horde and Shamans to the Alliance ruined any unique sense of play that came from one side or the other.

    Many claim that World of Warcraft / WoW The Burning Crusade (not cheap WoW Gold ruined the entire game. On the other hand, there are plenty of players who say that doing any pre-Burning Crusade content now (i.e. leveling a new alt) is simply painful, because of fewer quests per zone, more travelling pain per quest, and generally slow and inefficient leveling. They say one should spend some time on pre - Burning Crusade content to bring it up to par with the different style of

    What do you think? Has The Burning Crusade spoiled or perfected World of Warcraft / WoW? Is Outland superior to Azeroth or vice versa? Neeeed your opinion!
