WoW: Wrath of the Lich King Launching November 13, CE Filled with Goodies
Posted 09/15/08 at 06:27:46 PM | by Nathan Grayson
World of Warcraft is pretty popular. So much so, in fact, that Blizzard could probably slap its painfully recognizable logo on an empty box and still have The Sims spewing furious, unintelligible curses over their relinquished seat at the top of the sales charts. But Blizzard would never do that to you. Instead, the mighty blue giant is cramming Warcraft-branded boxes with Wrath -- an ethereal substance that, admittedly, is still a fairly hard sell.
Don't worry, though; for those of you who feel deserving of an actual reward for you unbridled -- and somewhat perplexing -- devotion, Blizzard is also releasing a Wrath of the Lich King Collector's Edition. Within its confines, you'll find the following:
- The Art of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, a 208-page book featuring never-before-seen images from the game.
- An exclusive in-game pet: Frosty, the baby frost wyrm.
- A behind-the-scenes DVD containing over an hour of developer interviews, the Wrath of the Lich King intro cinematic with director’s commentary, and more.
- The official soundtrack CD, containing 21 epic tracks from the game, along with exclusive bonus tracks.
- A mouse pad featuring a map of the newly opened continent of Northrend.
- Two World of Warcraft Trading Card Game March of the Legion™ starter decks, along with two exclusive cards available only in the Collector’s Edition.
This "expansion," as Blizzard is calling it, hits shelves on November 13. Frankly, though, we just can't understand the appeal. Oh well.
Do you plan on grabbing it?

For a magazine based around PCs, that for the majority, are gaming machines, there sure is weak coverage of WoW. Have any of the editors ever experienced the raiding content after you hit the max cap in WoW? Maybe we don't understand that content is king, not graphics. Blizzard has accomplished something unique. The same graphics engine for 4 years and they're still increasing subscriptions. Their gameplay is great, lore is awesome, and the game appeals to many play styles. Please give us an editor that loves this game and still plays! You got millions of people to choose from!

but I suspect 10+ million people would disagree with you although based on the 3 (now 4) comments on your article I do "understand the appeal" of your opinion.
Actually...

It was more a tie-in to my opening bit about Blizzard selling boxed wrath. In reality, I was a WoW addict for just short of two years. WoTLK could very well suck me back in if I'm not careful/addicted to something else of equal potence.
Definitely

I'll definitely be buying the CE since I've played the beta & found quite a lot of joy in the questing, storyline & gear.
