The day we have all been waiting for has come and passed. Millions of Blizzard fans slammed into unkempt lines around the country to pick up their copy of the new WoW expansion. I would imagine that most succeeded, though I can tell you that the line I waited in was 2 city blocks long (yours truly was 3rd in line and had nothing to worry about).
On Thursday morning at 12:16 AM, I installed Wrath on my computer and updated my account to Wrath play ability. I started my Death Knight, whom is a Night Elf, and played through the intro levels until the wee hours of the morning. I now know that they call early hours the wee hours because you start to go delirious from lack of sleep, but you still have fun… weeee!
Anyhow, I leveled my Death Knight through the opening levels on Wednesday night and continued the next day. A day later, I am 67 with some change. I hope to make it into Northrend by tonight or tomorrow morning without neglecting my family too much. Wrath has definitely been an exciting voyage so far! It is very interesting to see who chooses what class to level within my guild and who has rerolled a new class entirely.
I’ve seen achievements scroll across guild chat for new Grand Master professions and exploration of Northrend, which I will not see for awhile given my new class. Everyone is starting to explore the Nexus and Utgarde Keep. I am still back in Outlands leveling my Death Knight. I did get an honorable kill achievement. A level 70 hunter without the Wrath expansion thought he should try to kill me.
The one pitfall to Wrath so far is that all of the people that I play with are easily surpassing me into Northrend. I am glad that Blizzard made it easier to level from 60-70 in the last patch, but it is still a long road to catch up to my guild mates so that I can stop playing alone. I keep hearing about giants and penguins and neat areas, but am not quite ready to adventure there. On the other hand, I was the one that rerolled to Death Knight so this pitfall was my own choice.
So far, this expansion has completely knocked out all of the server disappointments that I have had in the past week. This expansion has surpassed my expectations, even after I played beta. What choices have you made since Wrath came out? Has the expansion experience been as good or better than the Burning Crusade?
