World of Wardcraft players have been hoarding gold waiting for the launch of Wrath of the Lich King expansion.Some item available in the original game will now be obsolete.
Eleven million players who own the original game may not upgrade. Blizzard expect 4 million will buy the expansion earning $120 for the developers.
This figure is based on the number of players who bought Burning Crusade expansion. Lich King has a new top level of 80 that's 10 higher than Burning Crusade and 20 higher than the original WoW.
Wrath of the Lich King offers the new 'hero class', the necromantic death knight; with more than 700 goals on offer plus a new continent called Northrend to play on.
