Many thanks to Tisen for tipping off the late night WoW Insider crew that Gamespy will be releasing new Wrath of the Lich King info in about an hour from now – at 12:01 a.m. PST. We'll get it reported to you as soon as we see it. Stay tuned for updates. Their entire announcement reads:You're going to want to stay tuned until the midnight here on GameSpy.com. At 12:01AM PST we'll be flooding the site with all-new World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King materials. New movies, media, a preview, a roundtable, two interviews and a look at the Death Knight. Enough for ya?
I have to admit, this is a little strange for it to be posted this late... but I've seen stranger things. More info as it comes in.
Update 12:05 a.m. PDT: No info yet. Though their website still says it's "Thursday." We're expecting something soon.
Update 12:07 a.m. PDT: Bornakk is up late and posted " They aren't the only ones..." in response to WotLK info being released tonight. More to come apparently.
Update 12:09 a.m. PDT: News is incoming, possibly from multiple sources, look for more posts soon.

Bah, guess I'll stay up for it. It seems like some news sites were able to get info, but were bound by an NDA until Friday (May 9th). X-Play has a segment on WotLK on it's Friday show. Now Gamespy has this posted. Something is for sure up.

Guess that would explain why there wasn't anything from 1up either (their WoW blog mentioned going to Blizzard on Monday).
Guess all that checking back throughout the week was for nothing.
This should be interesting, though.

If you check the WotLK section they've added new videos today (5-9-08) for some of the new zones. Don't see anything else new tho and the front page is still the same.

Hmm, i calculated (i'm in Holland) that it should have gone online about 5 minutes ago. Did I miscalculate or...?
Medros May 9th 2008 3:07AM
I have my own blog, my guild's news section, and WoW up awaiting news...

I just read the gamespy death knight info and I am a little disappointed since it doesn't appear that they actually played one.
It could have been a lot more useful information, when they were not speculating so much.
No real news there for me. Apart from the unlocking mechanism, which seem to be nerfed to only having a lvl 55 character. No quest chain or lvl 80 seems to be required. This has its advantages with spreading people over all zones with WotLK launching. And a tough choice, should I level my main to 80 or should I level a DK????

the level 55 thing was rumored back around blizzcon...
