The Lich King is Dead

That's how its starting to look on many servers now that the last wing of Icecrown Citadel has been released. We have a year now, more or less, to wait for Cataclysm to come out.

So what do we do in the meantime? For many people, this involve getting the best gear possible for their class, and doing their part to help clear ICC, then farm it over and over. All in all, the usual when it comes to the end of an expansion.

As for me, I will be doing that, but I want to make sure I get the most out of the content as well. To be honest, WotLK wasn't as exciting to play as BC, even if it revolutionized the way we play the game (at least to some extent). Tanking in BC as a warrior was more fun, because the instances were harder, and tanks weren't homogenized as they are now. (Heroic Shattered Halls, anyone?) I enjoyed dual-wielding one handed weapons as opposed to two ridiculous two handed somethings. The instances just seemed harder, and gear was indeed harder to get. Playing Wrath and looking back on the past year, I can say that it felt like I slept through the whole thing.

It really helps that I role play when the gaming aspect of WoW gets old. Thinking about and acting on how my characters would react to to the exploration of Ulduar, the Argent Tournament, and the fall of the Lich King have all been a lot of fun, especially when you have other people to do it with.
