In order to better prepare for the trials facing them in Icecrown Citadel, the Argent Crusade set up camp in Icecrown to hold a tournament meant to hone Azeroth's finest heroes into a force the Lich King couldn't afford to ignore. Players were able to experience Naxxramas as a level-80 dungeon and face down another of the Old Gods, Yogg Saron in Ulduar. From the moment of entry into Northrend, the story began to play out, and the heroes of Azeroth were asked to take on the challenge the Lich King and the Scourge presented them. As our mission statement says, we continue striving to provide the most epic entertainment experiences ever.Īfter feedback from the community indicated some disappointment with being unable to interact more directly with the story surrounding Illidan, we made a concerted effort to reconnect everyone with the story of the Lich King and the struggles of Azeroth against the Scourge. From the initial release of World of Warcraft to The Burning Crusade, and then again with Wrath of the Lich King, we have steadily learned, grown, and have pushed ourselves to become better designers, and we'd like to take a moment to share with you some of the development team's recent highlights, as well as a glimpse into the future. Since its release, we've continued to expand on its content and tell the story of the Lich King and many others who have been touched by the Scourge's emergence in Azeroth. Wrath of the Lich King hit store shelves Novemand quickly became the fastest-selling PC game of all time. The entirety of the Battle Plan post is after the break. Database hardware upgrades will be put into place to ensure that the Cataclysm launch goes as smoothly as possible.After the upcoming events to retake Gnomeregan and the Echo Isles, all level one gnomes and trolls will start in the newly-reclaimed areas!.Cataclysm's Kalimdor content is basically finished.There's not a lot at first glance - a small Wrath postmortem, some basic info about the upcoming Ruby Sanctum and Echo Isles/Gnomeregan content - but some closer examination reveals a few interesting tidbits. Given that we're on the eve of WoW 's most extensive expansion, though, this is a pretty prime time to catch everybody up on what's happened thus far since Wrath launched and where Cataclysm is bringing us, and that's exactly what the Battle Plan does. As a whole, Blizzard is much more open now in terms of communicating development philosophies and providing direct answers to questions posed - I blame Ghostcrawler - than they were four years ago. A Battle Plan! Been a while since we've seen one of these in fact, the last time Blizzard posted an official Battle Plan was late 2006, and there may be good reason for that.
