So I reinstalled again, Using a new account so I would be starting from scratch again, After a long hiatus, I have Original WoW copy and BC...

My questions are..

If i'm starting again from scratch would I need wotlk right now? Or at which stage would I need it? I dont want to be spending money buying the expansion if i'm not going to use it for a long time?

Please dont flame me as basically im a new player to this game when I played before I got to 42 human rogue before I left, That wasnt very high at all.

Please reply if you can help, If you cannot please dont reply. Thanks :)

There isn't any use for WotLK until level 68 unless you want to play a Death Knight after you make a 55 character, or if you want to have the Inscription profession right from the start.

I played this game all last summer and I'm getting really bored this summer so I think I might resub too - unless someone can suggest a game that's better.

Rogues are OP in PvP, Shamans are getting buffed as well as warlocks. Paladins/mages are stable. Hunters and warriors are, as they always have been, a consistent class to play.

No point in getting Lich King until you are 55 and want to play a DK or want to hit 68.

Thanks guys, But i'm gonna look for more replys too, Since I really want to know if I have to buy it or not.

no need for more replies all the stuff someone can use that isn't high to go to wotlk is in the game without the expansion. You don't need it until level 68.

Don't do it!!!!!!!

But seriously WotLK can wait till you meet the level requirments to go to those zones. Leveling is a lot faster now though, and should not take you long to get up there.

I think you are going to get a pretty standard reply of "you don't need it for a while". As stated, unless you want to have Inscription as a profession then you'll be just fine for some time without WoTLK. You can either wait until you get a character to 55 so you can create a Death Knight. Or, if you don't want a DK, you can wait until 68 when you'll likely end up heading to Northrend to level. There might be some other caveats, but really, if you don't level quickly, then you can certainly hold off on getting the expansion until you reach one of those benchmarks.

The only real benefit you can get from the lich king expansion prior to level 68 is getting bound inside the city of darnasus.  You could use your hearth stone and then have access to the teleporters in that city that link to all the other major cities.

It is very convenient if you hop around the world a lot, but I would skip it if you are feel you are a new player to the game.  Most of your time will be spent focused in one zone for longer periods of time.  It might be better if you keep your bind points closer to where you play and fly back to towns when you need to.

Ok thanks alot guys, I think i'll wait until im a bit higher before I buy the wotlk expansion, Thanks.
