Breakfast Topic: The zones of Northrend

by Zach Yonzon Aug 2nd 2008 at 8:00AM

I know. I'm not in Beta, and yet I'm as giddy as a greedy little boy who just got hold of a cookie jar with every bit of Wrath of the Lich King information. We've seen the breathtaking Howling Fjord, bits of the Borean Tundra, and even glimpses into the lush forests of Sholazar Basin. I don't think I could be excited enough for Lake Wintergrasp, even though there's just so little information about it. Elizabeth Harper, who's playing around in the Beta, has said that Dragonblight is her favorite zone.

From what we've seen so far, it really looks like Wrath of the Lich King is going to be one hell of a game. Each of the zones -- as has been the trend throughout World of Warcraft -- has its own personality. Blizzard has said that it won't all be ice and snow, and the diversity that's been revealed up to this point seems to attest to that. What zone are you most excited to see and most eager to explore when you get to Northrend?

The Icecrown Concepts from WC3 were definitely unique. The fortress is on a glacier, sweet!

Then I saw the screenies from beta. Doesn't the Icecrown Citadel/Fortress (can't remember it's right name, the place where Arthas will more than likely be) look a lot like some other evil bad guy's fortress from a relatively popular movie trilogy about a ring, a king, some towers, and some little people?

Lake Wintergrasp ftw!
