New WotLK screenshots leaked

Published on 04/22,2008

"Hot off the internet today are potentially new leaked images from the alpha of Wrath of the Lich King. WoW Insider has learned from an inside source that these are very similar to what the actual alpha looks like. While this isn't a solid confirmation, it is about as good as we'll get for any leaked screenshot for the time being. Again, this is not a direct confirmation that what we're seeing is true, but it's good enough for me to take as legit. The images are of various places around what looks to be Utgarde Keep. This is also reflected in the screenshot of the ""Discovered Utgarde Keep"". Additionally, there is a very real looking screenshot of the alpha installation package. Sources tell me this is very close to what is on the docket at Blizzard, again lending credibility to these leaks. Finally, the image featured in the header of the post is of a potential login screen for WotLK. wow gold kaufen This is unconfirmed, and out of all the images the weakest, in my opinion. However, I'll post it here and wait for any confirmation that might come my way. Stay tuned to WoW Insider for all the latest Wrath of the Lich King information. wow gold cheapest Click the gallery below to see the full leaked sets. " "We had some hints that this would happen soon and now WoW Insider has confirmed through anonymous sources that the next expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, is in closed alpha status, and that various players are being invited to check it out, under a strict NDA. Alpha is part of the software release life cycle -- a software product in development goes from alpha status to beta status (sometimes including a ""closed beta,"" where a limited few are invited to preview and test the software, and an ""open beta,"", where anyone can download and try out the beta), to ""release candidates"" and then ""gold"" (the final version, used to print the media to be available for sale).


This doesn't tell us anything about the timing of the expansion's release (especially since Blizzard historically takes their time going through this cycle), but it does tell us that Wrath's content is in a playable and mostly completed form -- quests, game mechanics, and items are in, even if specific flavor text, names, and even textures are not. We'll keep an eye, as usual, on any other news we see coming out of Blizzard, through official or unofficial channels. Wrath of the Lich King, the second expansion of World of Warcraft, is in alpha testing. lotro gold The journey to Northrend has begun. Update: A word to the wise: this is not an open beta, and any email or site that tells you to sign up for one is still scamming you. When open beta comes down, we'll hear about it on Blizzard's official site. gold wow This is just news that the next expansion has moved up a notch in its development, and that we're one step closer to an official open beta. Mike Schramm said... As I said in the post, this can't really be used to guesstimate a release date, because Blizzard takes their time, and there is no set schedule for alpha -> beta -> gold -- it differs by every company. That said, I would personally say that Alpha now would definitely leave enough time for a Fall '08 release wow powerleveling " -- Blizzard first started inviting people into BC (which released in January of '07) in June of '06. Then again, maybe Blizzard has a much faster release schedule nowadays -- BC was their first expansion and they've learned a lot since then. Plus there are no new starting areas or new races. So this is all speculation -- who knows.
