From Blizzard’s Wrath of the Lich King downloads page

Woohoo! Finally! Siege, the Death Knight Hero Class, and breaking Level 70 to 80! Blizzard releases the third (and definitely no the last) exciting installment to it’s very successful World of Warcraft franchise!

Here’s Blizzard’s Fluff for the Wrath of the Lich King (WOTLK):

The Lich King Arthas has set in motion events that could lead to the extinction of all life on Azeroth. With the armies of the undead and the necromantic power of the plague threatening to sweep across the land, only the mightiest heroes can oppose the Lich King’s will and end his reign of terror for all time.

And a quick Feature List:

• Master the necromantic powers of the Death Knight – World of Warcraft’s first Hero class.
• Quest to level 80, gaining potent new abilities and talents along the way.
• Learn the craft of spell augmentation with the new Inscription profession.
• Brave the harsh new continent of Northrend, the icy domain of the Lich King.
• Engage in epic siege warfare, deploying mighty siege engines to lay waste to destructible buildings in your path.
• Transform your hero’s look with new character-customization options, including new hairstyles and dances.
• Explore perilous new dungeons filled with some of the deadliest creatures — and greatest treasures — on Azeroth.
