Enter Orsinium. It may not be the holy grail the developers needed but there is little doubt that this expansion pack is well worth the money for any who enjoy the base game. The new zone is engrossing, offering travelers a myriad of quests, locales and sights to see. Roaming the green hills and scaling the snow-capped peaks of this new region evokes nostalgic trances of exploring Skyrim and Oblivion. The new daily world boss quests offer a super condensed version of their daily Undaunted Pledges counterpart, always nice when you’re short on game time. The Malestrom arena taunts players to take on the ultimate solo challenge, facing off against waves of monsters and competing for top scores on the leaderboards. There’s a lot to do here, and it was all built with a much appreciated and fruitful attention to detail. Wrothgar can at times feel more rewarding, alive and intimate than the rest of the game combined. All in all, this expansion pack marks a huge step in the right direction for the fledgling MMORPG. But is it enough?
