Q: What can players expect with regard to player-vs.-player combat in
the expansion?
A: Players will be able to take control of siege weapons and use them
to destroy opposing buildings, adding a new layer of complexity to PvP
battles. Naturally, we’ll be providing some fun places to put
these new tools to good use, and we’ll be revealing more
information about them in the months ahead, in addition to the new
battleground content being added.
Q: Can you give a sneak peek at the new recipes and items in the
expansion?
A: There will be hundreds of new recipes and thousands of new items
available, but we’re not ready to discuss specific examples
just yet.
Q: Will there be any graphical enhancements?
A: Yes. We’re currently working on some technical
enhancements to the game’s graphics, and we’ll be
discussing these further in the months ahead.

Release/Availability
Q: Do you need to own the expansion to play with friends who have it?

to all players. However, in order to experience certain content, such
as Northrend, or be able to play as a death knight, players must
purchase the expansion.
Q: Will there be an open beta test of the expansion?

open beta test. If we do decide to conduct a beta test, details will be
posted on the official World of Warcraft website once we’ve
gotten further along in the development process.
Q: When will the expansion be released? How much will it cost?
A: We have not yet announced a release date for the expansion set.
However, we expect to announce further details, including the release
date and price, on our community website in the months ahead. Please
stay tuned to www.wow-europe.com for more information.

compatible with and optimized for both the Windows and Macintosh
platforms.
Q: What are the system requirements?
A: We’ll continue to ensure that the game is playable on a
wide range of hardware. However, we have not made a final determination
on the system requirements as yet.
Q: Will the expansion be released globally at the same time?
A: We recognize that players throughout the world will be eager to
experience all of the new content being added with Wrath of the Lich
King, and we will make every effort to release the expansion
simultaneously worldwide. However, there’s always the
possibility that unforeseen circumstances could delay the launch in any
given region. We’ll share the launch timing with players in
each region as soon as the plans have been finalized.
Q: What is the PEGI rating for the expansion?
A: The expansion has not yet been rated by the PEGI. However, we
anticipate that it will receive the same rating that the original World
of Warcraft received - “Age 12+.”
