It’s “The King and I” in the World of Warcraft lately — the Lich King is everywhere, and this past week we moved even closer to the release of the most popular online game in the world’s second expansion. Joystiq’s sister site WoW Insider, as usual, has all the angles covered — if you want the hottest new spoilers, a more casual look at why the expansion is so important, or just to keep up to date on what’s in the old game (wait, there’s an old game?), we’ve got you covered.
