World of Warcraft: The War Within alpha's first zone is beautiful, melancholy, and surprisingly polished

An image of the Isle of Dorn, a new zone in World of Warcraft: The War Within.

World of Warcraft's newest expansion, The War Within, starts off as Identity Crisis Theater. Characters old and new are attempting to redefine themselves, and it lends a melancholy air to its first gorgeous island zone.

A specific release date hasn't been announced yet for WoW's 10th expansion, but it's expected later this year. Members of the press got a chance to frolic in the alpha build on the Isle of Dorn, leveling from 70-73 (the expansion will cap at 80) and testing out some of The War Within's new features.
