    Crummy distribution. As usual Mythic did everything wrong again! Should have had a retail expansion for those who dont want to spend 5 days d/l'ing.

    Excellent, we've all been waiting for sub-classes and fully controllable mounts

    Best offering from Mythic so far. Play on the Classic servers for best play.

    The genius here is how well the expansion integrates with the regular game. [Jan 2005, p.85]

    It's not quite a massive revival of the game and won't topple World of Warcraft from its impervious throne, but it does add a lot more content to a game bursting at the seams with things to do.

    Darkness Rising brings a lot of new features to a great MMORPG.
