Content highlights include the increase of the level cap from 70 to 80, the introduction of the death knight Hero class, and new PvP/World PvP content. No additional playable races have been added, though many new NPC races were featured.[4]
Opt-ins for the public beta began on 3 July 2008; the beta began on 17 July. On 10 October, Blizzard announced that Wrath of the Lich King had gone gold and discs were being manufactured for sale;[5] the game itself was released to the public on 13 November 2008. For the first time, the normal version of the game (as opposed to the Collector's Edition) was installable through one single DVD disc. On 13 September 2012, the expansion was integrated into the basic World of Warcraft package, granting all subscribers access to all of the content and features of the expansion at no additional cost.[6] This expansion came in two versions: Standard Edition and Collector's Edition.
Northrend is a croissant-shaped continent in northern Azeroth. The continent is roughly half the size of the Eastern Kingdoms, but exceeds Outland in length and width. Although Northrend is known for its snow and ice, parts of the continent are not frozen over, such as the springtime Howling Fjord and the jungle-like Sholazar Basin.
Flying mounts are also usable in Northrend; Players must level to 77 and obtain [Cold Weather Flying] to unlock this feature.[8] Blizzard said they want to "keep us grounded and guide us on foot for a while", so that players can enjoy all the hard work they put into the land and not just "fly over it."[9] There may be new flying mounts introduced with the expansion that will provide a very slight increase in speed. The expansion also introduced mounts that are able to carry more than just one passenger.
Prior to Patch 4.0.1 level 80 characters were able to purchase the heirloom [Tome of Cold Weather Flight] for 1000g to allow another character on their account to fly in Northrend at level 68, making it unnecessary walk through Northend multiple times on multiple characters. In 4.0.1 shortly before the launch of Cataclysm the tome was removed entirely. Cold Weather Flying itself was made available at level 68 for 500g at all flight trainers and was affected by reputation discounts. In the same patch Master Riding was introduced priced at 5000g to bring flight speed to a maximum of 310%, a feat that originally was only possible through prestigious mounts obtained from raiding or the violet proto-drake rewarded to players for completing What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been. While the 310% riding speed was removed from these, players who owned one prior to 4.0.1 were automatically given Master Riding free of charge. Blizzard later changed the [Reins of the Violet Proto-Drake] to award Master Flying free of charge when first used, though Artisan Riding is required to ride it.
