In a recent interview concerning Wrath of the Lich King, lead designer Tom Chilton said the following:
It’s going to be the same with Lich King. When our… patch goes live sometime before the expansion actually activates, I’m sure it’s going to be quite a madhouse of players trying out new stuff.
I can’t agree more! The fact is that many World of Warcraft players are very hardcore about playing, they know not only areas, mobs, talent trees, buffs and everything else involved with the game, but even break it down to calculations to determine damage, healing, etc. It is almost a second language of sorts and a science to master.
A group of new talents and skills will mean players will need to experiment with new builds in order to get the most out of their characters. It will mean new macros and key bindings and possibly even new strategies of play both for grinding levels out and for doing large Raids. Wrath of the Lich King and the pre-patch for it will turn the game upside down for a time.

WotL won’t turn anything upside down. Just like Burning Crusade, sites like world of raids, wowwiki, wowhead, etc. have all the info for the new expansions in great detail from the beta testers before the game even releases. Everyone knows exactly where to go, what to do, and how to do it best a good 3 months before the games hit retail. It is a shame too. WoW was at its very best when we didn’t have such a huge community to spoil all of the surprises.
