When World of Warcraft Will Get Hard Again – Looking to the 3.1 Patch

What to Do at Level 80

The initial rush of getting Wrath of the Lich King and rushing your way to the end of the new content as fast as possible has probably worn off by now many times over and you may even have a second character all the way up to Level 80 and standing by, waiting to do something. So, what do you do next? What else is there to do when you hit the magic 80? Luckily, Blizzard is among the best and always prepping end-game content and this time around is no different.
