More Wrath of the Lich King info uncovered in Games for Windows Magazine

A loot of information enough to fill a guild’s coffers have been uncovered in the latest issue of Games for Windows Magazine, and it’s all about the upcoming expansion to Blizzard‘s World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King. We get you the skinny on what’s to expect with the expansion that promises to get you more in touch with your dark side – just like Arthas did.

So, what’s new about Wrath of the Lich King, besides the fun stuff we’ve already covered? A whole lot, apparently, with factoids coming in about the zones, the dungeons, and even the newly-unveiled Death Knight hero class. For your reading pleasure, here’s a list of the compiled info, nugget-sized for convenience and brevity:

• The ending of Wrath of the Lich King will be definitive and have a note of finality, unlike Burning Crusade.
• The Sunwell will be the “ending”.
• Kil’jaeden is not fully summoned, which means players will be able to take him down with 25 Level 70s.
• Dalaran will have instanced dungeons, but no Auction Houses or Class trainers.
• Sunwell will have tweaked Blood Elves and somewhere around six to eight bosses.
• Utgarde will be similar to Ramparts, with parts of the map only being accessible after killing specific enemies. It will also have a Lich boss and a Vrykul boss.
• More micro dungeons (non-instanced dungeon-like areas). One example is Gjalerbon, where the Vrykuls and the Liches are working together.
• Two Death Knight spells revealed: Army of the Dead, which summons undead minions, and Death and Decay, an Area of Effect spell.
• Inscribers will be able to sell scrolls.
• Only a handful of spells can be inscribed.

Certainly a very meaty list, and if it’s anything to go by, Wrath of The Lich King will certainly change the playing landscape of World of Warcraft as we know it. Let’s just hope Blizzard delivers on the shots they’re already calling!
