With the launch of Wrath of the Lich King, we’re seeing a very active and growing population for many realms. As we continue to see players actively participating in the new expansion, we’re keeping a watchful eye on any resulting queues from high realm populations, and will offer free realm transfers as necessary to help keep populations at an appropriate level. We’ve created a post in the forums that will contain all information on these transfers as we offer them — please check it out for the most current information.

For years, the heroes of the Alliance and Horde have fought against the evils in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, against the demons of the Burning Legion in Outland, and against each other — all the while unaware that a threat more dangerous than any they had yet encountered was preparing to make its move in the icy continent of Northrend. Now the Lich King, Arthas Menethil, has emerged from Icecrown Citadel to claim the world as his own. Heroes of the Alliance and Horde gather in Northrend to make a stand against the malevolent being that dares to declare himself Azeroth’s one true king… and seeks to scour all life from the world.

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is now live and available at a store near you — you can check out the press release here. Featuring a massive new continent, the brand-new death knight Hero class, unique dungeons, an open-world PvP zone with siege vehicles and destructible buildings, and hundreds of brand-new quests, Wrath of the Lich King provides a huge variety of content for solo and group players. The expansion is available in both a standard and Collector’s Edition; find out more about the latter in our Wrath of the Lich King Collector’s Edition Preview. To learn more about what awaits you in Northrend, visit our Wrath of the Lich King Features Page and check out the primer to get you started.

During installation of the expansion, you’ll be able to upgrade the World of Warcraft account you play to allow access to Wrath of the Lich King. You can click here to upgrade as well.

The official World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Soundtrack is now available for purchase and download on the iTunes Store (www.iTunes.com). Available on the same day as the game’s release, the iTunes edition of the soundtrack contains a total of 21 tracks, including three exclusives — “Path of the Lifewarden,” “Shadow Web Caverns,” and “Obsidian Sanctum” — different from the three exclusive tracks found on the Collector’s Edition soundtrack CD. Individual tracks are available on iTunes for 99 cents each, or you can buy the entire album at once for $9.99. Click here to check out the soundtrack on iTunes, or head to the Blizzard iTunes page for more information — and while you’re there, check out the other Blizzard musical offerings, including soundtracks to Diablo II, StarCraft, and World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade
