With Wrath of the Lich King optional and experimental shadows integrated into the game. Up to now every character had a simple Blob shadow and buildings had only rudimentary shadows. Now the shadows can be adjusted in five different levels. The highest level delivers full dynamic, translucent Soft Shadows for all characters, NPCs and the environment - the horizon is the limit. Furthermore those shadows are high-res versions. To activate the shadows the command /console extShadowQuality # (where # equals a number from 1 to 6) has to be typed into the console. The difference is huge.
