World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic, which represents one of the most popular expansions in WoW's long and storied history is set to launch September 27 AEST. In addition to introducing the icy continent of Northrend, this expansion also introduced the Death Knight hero class, new dungeons, raids, the Inscription profession, and more.

And with that Blizzard are offering players the ability to create one Death Knight per Classic realm, and get them to Level 70 through playing Burning Crusade Classic ahead of Wrath of the Lich King's launch. There's also a 50% XP bonus event that will run until launch too, which will make that journey a lot quicker.



“The epic moments in Wrath of the Lich King Classic feature vast icy environments, unique dungeons and raids, and a gripping conclusion to the story of Prince Arthas,” said World of Warcraft executive producer Holly Longdale. “All of this and more made it a favourite of many of our players and us at Blizzard as well. We’re looking forward to providing an authentic experience for returning veterans and an awesome adventure for newcomers exploring Azeroth for the first time.”
