An expansion with a lot of new places to explore, and some really innovative quest chains. The expansion includes a new playable character and a significant revamp of existing characters. There are lots of new short yet interesting instances.
Most servers have had at least one guild completely clear the new content. A lot of he encounters are relatively easy to complete for a moderately geared team.

Expansion continent is masterfully wrought, vivid, and varied; forward-thinking design elements permeate everyday quests.

Buggy ingame chat system. Unbalanced Death Knight character.
Serial quitters of World of Warcraft might find Wrath of the Lich King interesting at first, just to be discouraged by the same old grind to get to the next level or complete another lengthy quest. But WOW diehards who have played through the original...
