Official Blizzard Expansion Page

Well, that didn't take long:

Blizzard is proud to officially announce the next World of Warcraft expansion set, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King! With the opening of the Dark Portal, and the renewed war to stop the Burning Crusade's destruction of worlds, the heroes of Azeroth have given little thought to the frozen wastes of Northrend – and the terrible, ancient powers that wait there. Yet the brooding evils of the fallen Nerubian empire and their malevolent sovereign have not forgotten Azeroth...

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King™ will open the forbidding wasteland of Northrend to exploration by the hardiest adventurers. New levels of power, challenging new dungeons and encounters, an exciting new character profession, and the game's first hero class are just some of the new features awaiting players in Wrath of the Lich King.

For more information, make sure to read the official press release and then check out our new expansion site for screenshots, concept art, the new expansion's announcement trailer, and much, much more!

Why is this expansion wimpy?
1. Only one new class?
2. No new races?
3. No new faster flying mount?
4. No expansion to the bag size?
5. No expansion of the amount of quests for the quest log?
6. The concept of the hero class sucks, give us two new classes like you did last time?

It's pretty early to be answering all of those. I can't imagine the expansion being released earlier than next year.

The reason Blizzard released this information is to take attention away from Warhammer, Blizzard thinks that if they announce this information it will make the people that are waiting for Warhammer to want to keep playing WoW. Besides, this is gonna come out in a year or two if they don' delay it like TBC. Also, the Death Knight is a way to make people want to play the game after they max out their characters level for the third time, when you get him, according to the world of raids.com, he will will start off as a high level with preset spells and epic armor. What a lot of people I know are waiting for is the siege tanks, hopefully they can be used everywhere not in just only Northrend or in a PvP battleground, like the flying mounts can only be used in Outland, which they should change to have it everywhere so its really worth the 1k gold for the epic flying mount skill. One more thing, the new profession, Inscription, is just like enchanting, but instead you're enchanting the character not the armor, so people will probably start farming enchant mats for an alt that will do the new profession like how Jewel Crafting was for TBC, so there will be even more money going to be made with selling enchanting mats.
hmmm

Of course, i will be buying it, but not for the death knight as i think the whole idea sucks. If death knight tasks force players to have a full raid group, all decked out in epics and level 70, having to fly to a destination, then kill something the likes of illidan or worse, this will really suck.
Woah

Ok I admit I am a geek, but that video had me in nerdgasms.
I wonder how the Hero class will work though, at what level can you change to that class.
In any case I am buying it.
