What’s in the new expansion? In World of Warcraft: The War Within there are four new areas and new hero talents that allow you to further customize your character. There are also warbands, a cross-account system for most of the game’s unlocks. Blizzard wants to move away from a character-centric game and move towards recognizing your account achievements so that you can switch between different characters more easily.
There are also new depths for solo fans – an endgame system that is on par with dungeons and raids, but is also interesting for solo players or small groups. We have all the information about The War Within for you here.
What do you think about the early release of The War Within? A good decision? Or should Blizzard take more time?
