   The Emerald Dream, the South Seas, and all those other failed candidates for the second expansion will have to wait. Just as those who were hoping for the Diablo MMO to be announced at this month's BlizzCon will also need a bit more pantience. Because Blizzard's big announcement was World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King - the second expansion, set on the frozen continent Northrend from Azeroth.

   While many details about it will remain unknown to us for some time, the blues were generous enough to reveal plenty of things about Wrath of the Lich King ("WLK" shall it be). Perhaps the most important novelty in the second expansion will be the new dances... umm... the new hero class - called Death Knight - available only after meeting certain challenges. What kind of challanges, and which races will have acces to the Death Knight class, we still don't known. The only certainty is that this new class will be available to both Alliance and Horde players.

   Predictably, the level cap in WLK will rise to lv. 80, bringing with it new talents and abilities. At the same time, there will also be a new profession - Inscription" - whose purpose will be to permanently enhance players' spells and abilities. It still sounds pretty vague, but we'll learn more in due time.

   On the PvP side of things, the main addition will be Siege Weapons and Destructible Buildings, promised since before the launch of the Battlegrounds. Which, by the way, will also grow in number. And the same can obviously be said about dungeons, considering that Northrend will be comparable in size and content to Outland, according to Blizzard. The first new dungeon in Northrend will be Utgarde Keep, intended for five players around level 70.

   There are still plenty of things to say, but fortunately Blizzard issued a Q&A with all the info they're willing to share at this time about World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, along with the first batch of screenshots, the first trailer, and an official website. That's pretty much everything needed, except for a release date. Maybe next year. Maybe...
