Northrend

[ragingspeedhorn]

How do you think Northrend will look and be like? What are you looking forward to with it? What cool new things will be included, mobs, quests and what not. Discuss anything about the upcomming continent, showcase screenshots, post blizzard news and speculations.

Cold Icey and Snowy.

Watch the trailer, you can find it everywhere now.

Oh, is there a trailer released? I never check the official WoW site much, usually there is nothing intresting there.

Thanks for the, probably obvious, tip

Too bad youll most likely only be able to play as a Deathknight after some massive level 80 chain : P

Well, I think it will be a lot like Outland actually. On first look (and perhaps through a bit of the levelling there) it will look cool, and everyone will love it, but then it will just get boring and repetitive, like Outland. Northrend is a cold, harsh, very hostile environment. It should radiate that when you enter it, otherwise Blizzard is just remaking the Dwarf starting zone and adding high level creeps.

My thoughts exactly. When viewing the trailer I can't help but think of Dun Morogh. I'm not too excited about this 'Death Knight' class either. Can't help but think you'll have to do an Icecrown run several times just to achieve it - plus the thought of so many people becoming death knights is unbearable. I'm still, somewhat, worried about seeing a character I've played with abscond to 'the dark side', so to speak. Plus, will either faction accept 'heroes of the scourge'?, (essentially what a death knight is)...that's a question that's been on my mind since finding out about that class. The only answer I can come up with is a new faction that is based on character level, (70-80?).

It'd be nice if Blizz introduced some new mobs, or even new races aswell as a new class. And, it'd be brilliant if the game was no longer hanging on the threads of the Warcraft 3 story lines....which is obviously not the case.

Alas. This expansion will be another excuse for not going out on the weekends, or weekdays for that matter.
