Battle Chest and Wrath of the Lich King — Together at Last!

Battle Chest and Wrath of the Lich King — Together at Last!

Haven’t yet ventured to the frozen reaches of Northrend? Beginning today, September 19, players will be able to get the original World of Warcraft, The Burning Crusade, and Wrath of the Lich King for only €14.99 as part of the newly upgraded digital Battle Chest, available now on Battle.net. In addition, all World of Warcraft subscribers will now automatically have access to all of the content and features of both The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King, even if they never purchased either expansion, at no additional cost.

It’s time to sail north, adventurer — the Lich King awaits!

@Wørgo: They have enough money, but people are just being incredibly greedy. You can't get a game like this for free, it's a fact. They're selling the game to gain money, but do people ever think that Blizz has so many employees aswell? They need to be paid for their work aswell. It's as foolish to say that it should be free as saying that the food in grocery store should be free.

@Vultura:
It isnt the same thing. Plus in a decent society food should be free, but that's another story.
The thing is you both are wrong and right at the same time. You're right when you say people should get payed, and you're wrong when you think they make money out of the clients they sell. Once you buy the client the game isnt free, if you don't pay a monthly fee you can't play. That's how you pay employees. So he's right cause actually they don't need any of the clients money, the clients could be free...
He's wrong when he thinks they "should" make them free, cause nobody gives a ratt's *** about that... just look at AOE2 it still costs like 8€. Blizzard would be the only one doing that... and we know mom Blizz isnt like that anymore.

@Dønatt: Why do you think they made this with Cataclysm still goin on? You can't sell it in a battlechest if you're still playing (last 2 days? who cares)...

@Cellian: You have to be lvl 55 to unlock the Death Knight class. And you have to be 68 to be able to travel to Northrend.

@Shadestalker: You have to have at least one level 55 character on your list in order to create a Death Knight, that is correct. However, you can effectively go to Northrend at any level you want, though it isn't recommended. (Boats and zeppelins don't know what level you are, do they?) You only need to be level 68 to begin questing in Northrend.

Sisisisil- my daughter had the same problem, you need to go to C: drive ( or your generic main drive) open up all hidden files and folders. find the battlenet folder and delete it YES delete it , its corrupt ( only blizz would know why) when you open up the game it creates an new battlenet folder and you should be playing normally again.
Hope this helps and saves a few hours of reinstalling

@Sisisisil: In your main wow folder there should be a wow.exe program. Run it and if it opens the launcer again contact blizzard help.

@Sisisisil: There's no need to re-install the game at all, it seems to just be a Windows permissions issue. :P
