What's new in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion?

World of Warcraft was first announced in 2001, and almost from the get-go players were hotly debating which components of the gameworld of Azeroth would make it into the MMO. Blizzard launched their blockbuster MMO with a very focused experience, and managed to set a new bar for online gaming quality with their 2007 Burning Crusade expansion.

Now the company is set to once again expand the horizons of their gameworld, and in doing so reconnect the Warcraft RTS titles with their MMO. Wrath of the Lich King will reintroduce old characters, allow players to explore acres and acres of new environments, and remake the face of Azeroth as we know it. But what exactly is the expansion offering? What are the brand-new elements coming from the minds 'behind the storm'? Today we have a gallery feature for you that should clear up any questions you might have about this most ambitious of expansions.

In cooperation with Massively's sister site WoW Insider, we present an extensive survey of the changes coming to Blizzard's World of Warcraft. We'll explore the new lands, new beasts, new toys, and class changes coming with the expansion, and even talk a little bit about where Blizzard might go next. Join us as we head north to adventure!
