So, in keeping with the World of Warcraft news, Blizzard's head of the design team for World of Warcraft--Jeff Kaplan--has confirmed that getting to level 70 will be easier once the Wrath of the Lich King expansion is released. Apparently some users on Blizard's World of Warcraft forums noticed that achieving level 70 has become easier in the beta for the upcoming expansion. Kaplan posted a response on the forum stating that they are "planning on speeding up leveling in the 60-70 range".
Apart from introducing a new charachter class, users will be able to grow their characters to level 80 when the Wrath of the Lich King is released.
