Having played on the beta realms for a few day, I thought I'd give my first impressions of the Lich King.....
So you start off in the newly added Stormwind docks, and catch a boat over to Northrend, after stopping off first of all at the barbers in stormwind of course and giving yourself a chic new look for between 7-10 gold per change.
When you arrive at Northrend there are all the usual zone starter quests, with some interesting new ideas thrown in along the way, like having to capture flying mobs with nets before you can kill them and the awesome ability for the death knight in quests to steal mounts from unsuspecting NPC stables. Also really liked the idea of having to duel other death knight players in an early DK quest to get quest completion.
World has a great look, and the zones flow together quite well. It's annoying although to be expected I suppose that you can't get into the capital city until you are level 74, but you can get ported in by a friendly mage or warlock.
Levelling is put at a slow but playable 1.25 million XP for level 70-71 and increasing in fairly big chunks the higher you go, but with an average 20k xp per quest and 1500xp per level 70 kill rested it all adds up nicely. The fear of green loot replacing epics fairly early on seems to be well founded with some early quests that take 5 minutes awarding BC heroic sub boss level rewards at 70. For example one of the rewards is a green dagger which is pretty close to the weapon that drops from prince in kara. Talents are complelty unlearned as they were in the previous expansion but there is no cost to fit them back into the new trees.
Nice new level 70 food and mana restorers which now replace 13200 over 30 seconds which is a great time saver.
Creating a death knight is a must just for the novelty factor at the very least. The Lich King himself is in the start area (which is next to the Eastern plaguelands) and gives you a few of the starter quests which is a nice touch. Character starts at level 55 of course with a managable 148k XP for a level. Interestingly although you start at level 55 you have no talent points to spend. You are actually awarded talent points as well as XP for completing some quests so by the time you ding 56 you should have about 10 talent points to spend. Mount is obtained through a fairly easy quest very early on. They get a nice racial talent of runecrafting which allows a kind of weapon enchanting to increase stats or attack power. DKs start fully geared in greens with early quests awarding nice blue level upgrades.
All in all though it's a great expansion and the transition and lore work at least as good as original WOW to TBC, can't wait for the official release!

*Sigh* TBH if someones looking to buy WotLK, chances are they play WoW (World Of Warcraft Battlechest (PC/Mac)) already and plan to play some more, as such I think they'll have a ROFL at your whinge then read comments that actually have something to do with THIS expansion NOT the game it expands upon. For my part I sadly haven't been sent a Beta key, but I am always checking on wowhead/curse/wow-europe for updates about the expansion. If, by any chance, you happen to be looking at this expansion with a view to starting WoW from scratch, check the sites I've mentioned for more info. The 1-80 will not be a short road but blizz are reducing the hardships of the first 50 levels to make getting to the cutting edge of the game a quicker less grindy experience. I've played Guild Wars (made lvl 15 before I got immensely bored with the whole thing) and am currently playing the LotRO trial (actually looks pretty good, but only as a time-passer when I get bored of WoW sometimes), but I'm afraid WoW is top of the pile no question IMHO and if the stuff featured in the official notes released at various times about this expansion are anything to go by, its only gonna get better!! Do the RIGHT thing folks, go click [Pre-order this item] now!

Really why do people still play this game is beyond me. I mean its NOTHING BUT GRIND. Grind to max lvl then grind raids to get stuff so you can grind another raid to get stuff repeat ad nasuem DO your selfs a favour and quit this grindfest and go play a REAL MMO like Guild wars or LOTRO.
