    Some of the Massively team is excited about the latest World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King... so much so that they've apparently come down sick and aren't working today. That's going around. Fortunately a few of us here survived this rash of contagion, that clearly has nothing to do with WoW, and are here to bring you news and views related to WotLK. To that end, we've collected some of our best stories related to Wrath of the Lich King all in one place. And if you're one of our readers who had to call in sick today due to illness, we're hoping you get well soon. Unboxing the Wrath of the Lich King Collector's EditionIt can't have escaped your notice that the release of Wrath of the Lich King is upon us, and if it has let me be among the first to welcome you to Planet Earth. Here at Massively, we have a metric tonne of Wrath-related content lined up for you, starting with a look inside the Collector's Edition box. Anti-Aliased: Mourning FrostmourneThe word on everyone's lips this month is "Arthas" as we're approaching the release of the Wrath of the Lich King, the second expansion pack for World of Warcraft. Ok, so now that the boring introductory sentence is out of the way, let's talk about what is on everyone's minds -- Frostmourne. Lich King begins assault on Azeroth, starting with OrgrimmarWorld of Warcraft players are experiencing a world event leading up to the launch of Wrath of the Lich King. No, it's not another invasion of flesh-craving zombies -- but it's just as cool. A WoW burnout's guide to Wrath of the Lich KingDoes Wrath of the Lich King, the second World of Warcraft expansion, have enough new, interesting and worthwhile content to give longtime burnout players a reason to come back again? What about players who've recently hung up their Azerothian hat? Anti-Aliased: Killing the auctioneers is a perfect reason to go to NorthrendGoing to Northrend has always been something that bugged me. It's a land that's literally a boat trip away, and no one's set foot on it or even mentioned it since Arthas went bonkers and started living up there.

    Massively readers, you may lie to your bosses, but we here at the blog know that you're really not going to be sick tomorrow. You're going to have your hands glued to your keyboards, because you'll be up all night playing World of Warcraft: The Wrath of the Lich King for a span of time that is probably considered unhealthy.The question is though, how many of you faithful readers are going to be taking this "MMO personal day?" Plus, we want the details if you're going to go for the gold. How are you going to do it? Are you going to go for the fabrication of sickness? Are you just going to call in one of your personal days and be totally honest? Or are you going to dodge school using some Ferris Bueller tricks? Comment away, dear readers. Comment away.
