Blizzard Expands on Lich King's PvP Warfare

malware · Jan 3, 2008, 02:06 PM

The upcoming World of Wacraft expansion (Wrath of the Lich King) will feature a large area dedicated to PvP (Player vs. Player) battles, Blizzard has revealed. A "cool part of Northrend is new big PvP zone. It's about the size of Westfall, and will be all-PvP - in no way, shape or form will we support PvE [Player vs Environment] players in it", the developer's Jeff Kaplan has told PC Zone. He continued, "It'll be optional, but it'll be completely non-instanced, have multiple objectives, siege weapons and destructible buildings". In the interview, Kaplan went on to promise that WoW adventurers will be pleasantly surprised when they first enter the new continent of Northrend. World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is expected to launch this year, though Blizzard has yet to confirm when.

Guild Wars is pretty cool for a free game , cant wait for guild wars 2 ........ which is supposed to be still free and at the same level of WoW ........ also people can move some of their accomplishments and mini pets and weapons to their new characters ( also their names ) to guild wars 2 from original guild wars =)

You need to know that most "free" games literally sucks because all they are doing is try to make money from "gold items"
