 Great! expo November 18, 2008
Thanks amazon , fast delivery service , i Pre-ordered on the 10th and it was here on the 13th @ 08:00am in the morning :) very good 5 Star Service
 Order from someone else November 17, 2008
17th is here and still no sign of this game. Do not preorder from Amazon marketplace if you want it on the day of release. Go to someone who will send it by something other than camel messenger.
 A good expansion for a good game! November 17, 2008
For the longest time now it seems World of Warcraft has been the definitive MMORPG game on the market, blowing all new comers out of the water before they even have a chance to see their surroundings. I do not subscribe to the misinformed philosophy that Blizzard created all the genre content and other MMO's copied WoW. WoW has always copied other games and ideas, and once again it borrows from other games inventions. What it does do very well is package it right in such a way to make it easy to pick up and play, hard to master and so deep and complex to keep you addicted to playign for the foreseeable future.
The Burning Crusade, WoWs first expansions pack promised so much but delivered a game that was flawed and full of holes. I am very pleased to say that Blizzard seem to have learned from their mistakes and have improved on concepts and ideas to make a very fulfilling expansion...so far at least...
The biggest plus point is the Deathnight class where no longer does the talent tree you choose determine your role in the game, and despite some misconceptions, any talent tree you choose will do any job you want to do, just in a different way - anyone who thinks or says differently haven't grasped what a Deathknight is all about yet!
As expected with such huge numbers buying the expansion at release there were a lot of lag and choppines experienced by some as the masses made for the new continent of Northrend. Likewise there are so many Deathknights running about Outland trying to level it makes you wonder are there any 'normal' classes left in the game?
yes there is more of the same. Quests, reputation, honour, grinding, but it has been packaged up in such a way that you don't notice that you are effectively repeating the same quests as the two previous incarnations just with different items and monsters. It is fun once more, with only a minor few choosing to power through the levels only to find out they have missed so much content, no-one else has kept up and they are now left at maximum level with nothign to do but start a new character or sit around and wait for company to join them in a few weeks/months. There is also bound to be new content added month by month, new instances opened and new abilities fine tuned in patches, and talk is of single player instances and achievement point purchases being added sooner rather than later. All very interesting ideas, and should be fun to explore the possibilities!
PvP has again become fun. An all new outdoor PvP region of Northrend is open to everyone with specific objectives, seige weapons and general mahem to ensue....
I would recommend that anyone who has played before and hasn't got the expansions yet do so, they are very good fun and will expand your love of the game. It still isn't the best PvP game out there but it is better, but for PvE and social fun it can't be beat! It will take time to settle down after everyone was getting carried away with levelling their alt, their Deathknight and their level 70 character all at the same time it gets hard to keep track of who is who...but the game promises to provide good entertainment for a long time to come.
Wotlk STILL NOT RECEIVED November 17, 2008

This was on pre-order for almost a year and still not received. It was a gift from a family member last christmas. The game was released on 13th and it's 17th today and still not received despite 1st class delivery. Amazon you've pissed a mighty amount of people off this time and I will NEVER purchase from you again.
Amazon Deliver: 5 days late and counting.... November 17, 2008
Title says it all - I paid for first class delivery and its now the 17th and the postman's come and gone. I'm off to a shop to but it and the amazon copy can go back.
Do not bother ordering anything from amazon you want vaguely around the date you've ordered it for.
