Wrath of the Lich King manual discovered in WoW patch


World of Warcraft forumite Maeglin made an interesting discovery: hidden deep within the files in the WoW game directory, you'll find the manual for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Presumably it was added in the latest patch. If you want to take a peek, head over to to the folder "World of Warcraft \ Data \ enUS \ Documentation" and open up "Manual_WLK.pdf."

In it you'll find a bit of lore, some nice artwork, a map of Northrend, and basic info on many of Wrath's new features. The best part is probably the "Special Thanks" section of the credits at the end, in which many of the folks who worked on the game were given the opportunity to write in whatever they liked. There are some funny entries -- including the Shoegaze band Asobi Seksu, Mountain Dew, and Han Solo "for shooting first."

WoW Insider notes that not all the info in the manual is up to date, so it stands to reason that the manual coming with the final game at retail will be slightly different.
