Wrath was first launched in 2008. It remains one of WoW’s favorite expansions. The add-on allowed players to explore the frozen continent of Northrend, and linked the story that started Warcraft III.
“We are excited to revisit one of the most beloved eras in Warcraft history with Wrath of the Lich King Classic,” said Mike YabaraPresident Blizzard. “The original release of this expansion has brought many improvements to the game, along with an eternal villain and an epic story. We care about preserving the authentic classic experience for those looking to relive their glory days in the Northrand – and provide a worthy and accessible re-creation for those embarking on this huge adventure for the first time. “.
Alongside the announcement of Wrath’s return, Blizzard has unveiled the latest expansion for the ongoing game called DragonflightWhich brings the heroes of Azeroth to the long-awaited Dragon Islands.

Dragonflight adds new race and class that can be played. Dracthyr is a new dragon race that also has a human form. It is a neutral race, meaning they can join all factions. In addition, playing as a Doctor character will only allow you to play as the new Evoker (no other race can roll the Evoker).
In addition it will allow riding a dragon that will give players a new way to fly on a customizable companion. This includes exploring the five new areas of the expansion, taking place in the Dragon Islands, a mysterious location that many fans had hoped to visit in one sea. Level 70 will be the new lid. And of course, players will get new dungeons and raids.
WoW has faced harsh criticism in recent years. The last two expansions, Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands, have angered many fans with overly complicated but unbalanced systems and half-baked stories. The decline in WoW’s popularity has given other MMOs, including Final Fantasy XIV and Lost Ark, an opportunity to increase their audience. After all, WoW is already 19 years old and Blizzard must find new ways to fight the next young crowns to “steal” the crown from WoW.
Following this, the company has already made several concessions to its players, which include announcing requested features such as the option to play with other faction players. In addition, one can look at the entire classic version as a tribute to its fans, this too came following the harsh criticism the company received due to the closure of a number of private servers that ran the original version of WoW.
