Not quite as impressive as previous expansions in terms of new locational content
The overhaul of the fundamental game mechanics have improved some character types

A worthy addition to the Warcraft canon and easily enough reason to return to the World Of Warcraft if you’ve spent some time away, but probably pretty annoying if you had an all-purple WOTLK character. 8.6/10Print this pageComments (0)Share this pageN...
