Today — Thurs­day, Novem­ber 13, 2008 — has been a much-anticipated date for many World of War­craft fans.  Why?  Because the new expan­sion, Wrath of the Lich King, went on sale today.

I’m sure many peo­ple were in line well before mid­night this morn­ing to get the game — I just wasn’t one of them.  I like the game very much, and I play it quite often.  I’m just not so hard­core that I would stand in line for 48 hours to get the game.  I’ll be able to get it later.

I won’t buy it tonight, but I will pur­chase it tomor­row and will prob­a­bly ded­i­cate quite a bit of time over the week­end to it.  I’ll be sure to take screen­shots of var­i­ous areas within the game, and I’ll write a review of my first impres­sions and post it tomor­row (prob­a­bly late after­noon).  I’m sure it’ll make good week­end read­ing for those of you who enjoy play­ing within the world of Azeroth.

And if you haven’t ever ven­tured into the WoW world, maybe this expan­sion will entice you enough to see what all the fuss is about.  That’s what The Burn­ing Cru­sade did for me.  And now, I’m hooked.
