Wrath of The Lich King & How to Become a WoTLK Beta Tester

Hopefully after reading this hub you will know how to become a wrath of the lich king beta tester.

Basically it works like this:

When blizzard decides to open up for beta testing they will announce it on their website. I don't know if everybody who wants a spot gets one... But you can expect there will be hordes of people trying to get a spot.

You must also be on the lookout for fake invitations.

There are a lot of these fake beta invitations going around. What these people who send out these invitations want is your wow account.

If you ever get a email looking like this it's fake and you could loose your account if you do as they says.

Here is the email you should be on the lookout for. Greetings,

Be aware of an email like this.

Now lets talk a little about what you will run into if you are selected as a beta tester for wrath of the lich king.

The death knight class is one of the classes you will be able to test in wrath of the lich king.

The death knight is the first hero class and you will be able to wreak a lot of havoc with this class. The death knight will mostly be a tank but he will be able to do more things as well.. Like Magic!

The death knight will not be more stronger than the other classes, it will just give you a new perspective how you can play the game.

Another thing that's very cool about this hero class is that it's a tank but it doesn't wear a shield. Imagine the death knight as prince arthas with heavy black cold armor and a gigantic two hand sword.

Update!:

I have some new and cool information about the Death Knight for you..

When WoTLK goes live you will be able to create a Death Knight if you already have a lvl 55 character. You are limited to 1 Death Knight per realm, per account.

So I guess you can't create a death knight on a new realm until you have leveled a character to 55 first.

Anyway, When you create a Death Knight you will be taken through a series of quests that explains the background of the Death Knight and its lore.

The Death Knight will have 3 specializations and they are: Blood, Frost, Unholy - Runic.

The death knight will still be a DPS/Tank hybrid with lots of power under its hood.

Also, the Death Knight have 3 stances available. There are Frost for tanking, Blood for soloing and Unholy - Runic for PvP.

The stances are simillar to the Warriors stances. You will also have a Runic power meter that will give you access to special attacks and abilities/magic when it fills up.

But one cool thing is that the Death Knight will be able to raise ghouls from corpses, both NPC and other players. If you cast this spell on a friendly player who have fallen in combat that player will be able to control the ghoul.

I want to become a beta tester bad =)!

You will enounter many new monsters in wrath of the lich king. Here are some of them..

The Nerubian Vizier is 50% spider and 50% human. They first were advisors to the nerubian spiderlords. However after the great spider war they saw their chance of becomming the rulers of the underground kingdom.

Many belive that these spiders are closely connected to the mighty insect race.. The Qiraji. But that's just a rumor..

Never the less.. The Viziers are very powerful.

I don't know if these creatures will be hostile or friendly to you. The only way to know is through beta.

The Plague Eruptors are not a pretty sight. They are the lich king's dark experiment and they are evil to the bone.

They are made to spread horror and suffering as they roam forward. If you encounter one of these beasts don't run. Because they will outrun you.

You see they are very fast and very strong. They spread the undead plague wherever they go.

The Plague Eruptor is the most destructive and dangerous creature in the lich king's undead army.

The Shovel Tusk is a creature found in Northrend.

They use their gigantic tusks to dig for food. I don't know which food that requires those massive tusks. One thing that is certain is that these creatures are very dangerous.

If you are adventuring into northrend you should be on your guard. These beasts will defend their territory and they outcome will be fatal if you aren't prepared.

Skinners would love to get to skin these beasts because the skin is very valuable and usable.

The dwarfs have dugg deep trying to find out where they first came from. The latest clue in the puzzle comes from digg sites in the howling fjord.

The dwarf's explore's league have dugg really deep and found a new race of dwarfs. The Iron Dwarfs.

These dwarfs have thick and glimmering metallic skin. They also have powerful magic to aid them.

But don't think that these dwarfs are friendly. They have sworn a promise to eridicate the explores league from the face of the earth. Watch out for these dwarfs because they are immensly powerful.

The Taunka is a very though race who live in a strong climate in northrend.

They are a very strong and big race who are related to the tauren race. The Taunka have learned to survive in the deadly wastes of northrend. The temperature here is very low and there aren't so many creatures here.

The Taunka can seem cold and uncaring but when you get close and know them you will soon realise that they have big hearths and are friendly.

Although this race can be a fiercy opponent if you attack them.
