Product Description
Amazon.com
Blizzard Entertainment took online role playing by storm with their hit title, World of Warcraft. With mind-boggling improvements in graphics, gameplay networking, and interface -- really every category -- this game became the crown prince of the genre. World of Warcraft players will be excited by the approaching release of the new expansion pack: World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. This pack expands the already massive, award-winning multiplayer online role-playing game by tremendous bounds, adding new races, lands, battlegrounds, professions and items, and much, much more. Although no release date has been set, here is sample of what you can expect from The Burning Crusade.
The expansion pack features an increase in the level cap to 70. There are two new playable races, including the magical Blood Elves that you can read more about below. The other race has not yet been released by Blizzard. There will be new starting zones in Quel'Thalas and beyond. Another eye-opening addition is the entirely new, unexplored continent of Outland that is reachable through the Dark Portal. Plus, you'll find many new high-level dungeons to explore in Azeroth, Outland, and elsewhere that will substantially boost gameplay. There are new flying mounts in Outland; tons of new and dangerous monsters (including epic world bosses); hundreds of new quests and items; and even a new profession: Jewelcrafting. Of course this isn't the end of the list -- this is just a glimpse of what Blizzard has planned for their unreleased expansion pack.
The New Story, the Rumors, and More
Several years have passed since the Burning Legion's defeat at Mount Hyjal and the races of Azeroth have continued to rebuild their once shattered lives. With renewed strength, the heroes of the Horde and Alliance have begun to explore new lands, and have broken through the Dark Portal to investigate the realms beyond the known world. In this expansion pack, The Burning Crusade refers to the Burning Legion's ongoing efforts to destroy life on Azeroth. To date, the Burning Legion's exploits have been documented in Warcraft III and in the War of the Ancients novel trilogy. As part of the expansion pack, players will now be able to travel through the Dark Portal to confront the Legion on otherworldly battlefields.
Although only one race has been revealed, Blizzard has announced plans to unveil details about possible additional races at a later date. On the other hand, many details have been released about the new continent, Outland. Players last visited Outland in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, alongside Illidan as he conquered the Pit Lord Magtheridon's domain. Players will also gain access to Quel'Thalas, the region to the northeast of the Forsaken lands, where the Blood Elves reside. Blizzard says that this expansion pack holds even more new areas that are ripe for player exploration -- additional details will be revealed in the months ahead.
Blizzard also has plans to add new dungeons and battlegrounds with the expansion, though the exact number has not yet been determined. One upcoming dungeon that has players excited is Karazhan, which is located within Medivh's tower. Because Medivh has played such a central role in Warcraft lore, Blizzard is convinced that longtime players will be especially interested in seeing what Karazhan contains. As for battlegrounds, Blizzard has released very little information. However, they have announced plans to make some of the battles from the past accessible through the Caverns of Time.
Blood Elves: The New Race
Thousands of years ago, the exiled Highborne landed on the shores of Lordaeron and founded the enchanted kingdom of Quel'Thas. These high elves, as they called themselves, created a fountain of vast, magical energies within the heart of their land -- the Sunwell. Over time, they grew dependant on the Sunwell's unstable energies, regardless of the bitter lessons they'd learned in ages past.
During the Third War, the villainous Prince Arthas invaded Quel'Thalas and reduced the once-mighty realm to rubble and ashes. His undead army decimated nearly all of the high elven population. In addition, he used the Sunwell's energies to resurrect a powerful undead Lich, Kel'thuzad, thereby fouling the Sunwell's mystical waters. The few elven survivors, realizing that they had been cut off from the source of their arcane power, grew increasingly volatile and desperate.
In the midst of the elves' darkest hour came Kael'thas Sunstrider, the last of Quel'Thalas' royal bloodline. Kael, as he was commonly known, knew that the remnant of his people would not long survive without the nourishing magic that once empowered them. Renaming his people "blood elves" in honor of their fallen countrymen, Kael taught the survivors how to tap into ambient mystical energies -- even demonic energies -- in order to sate their terrible thirst for magic. In search of a new destiny for his people, Kael'thas ventured to the remote world of Outland where he encountered the fallen night elf, Illidan. Under Illidan's watchful eye, Kael and his blood elves regained much of their former power.
Unfortunately, the blood elves practice of embracing demonic energies caused their former comrades in the Alliance to shun them. Thus, the remaining blood elves on Azeroth look desperately to the Horde to help them reach Outland where they can reunite with Kael'thas and achieve the golden destiny he has promised them.
Outland: The New Continent
Once the beautiful homeworld of the orcs, all that remains of Draenor is the scattered wastes of Outland. Following the Second War, the Alliance invaded Draenor by crossing through the Dark Portal. To their horror, they discovered that Ner'zhul -- the dark warlord of Horde -- had constructed a series of new gateways that could lead the beaten Horde to newer, unspoiled worlds. As the Alliance forces closed in around him, Ner'zhul opened his gateways as a means of escape. However, his plan backfired and the gateway's clashing energies resulted in a massive catastrophic explosion that ultimately ripped the world of Draenor to pieces.
Nearly thirteen years later -- towards the end of the Third War -- the fallen night elf, Illidan, discovered that huge chunks of Draenor still existed, floating upon the astral winds of the Twisting Nether. After his defeat at the hands of the evil Prince Arthas, Illidan fled to the remnants of Draenor and dubbed them "Outland." He quickly seized control of the chaotic region and sealed the last of Ner'zhul's gateways.
Though he is the undisputed ruler of the ravaged land, Illidan lives in fear that he will be discovered by his powerful enemies -- most notably Arthas, the new Lich King, and the remaining Lords of the Burning Legion. For now, Outland is home to a number of scattered draenei tribes, primitive orcs, and powerful, arcane creatures of the Nether itself. Agents of the Burning Legion have also targeted the region as a vital strategic location in their unending Burning Crusade to scour all life from the universe.
What else can expected? Blizzard has tantalized Warcraft players with the brief glimpse into The Burning Crusade's storyline. Will these heroes find friends or foes? What dangers and rewards lie in wait beyond the Dark Portal? And what will they do when they discover that the demons they thought were vanquished have returned to renew their terrible Burning Crusade? These and other questions will remain unanswered until the gameplay can be explored by role-playing Warcrafters.

This may be slightly confusing, but to summarize, you will not have an active/usable LICENSE KEY with this product and you only need to purchase the full version of World of Warcraft if you want this particular expansion. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS EXPANSION!!!!
I gave this 5 stars as the game is wonderful. My son and I both love playing this game together. Also, the 5 stars draws your curiosity of greatness while I am trying to draw your attention to be cautious and not waste you time and money on this product. I give this seller 1STAR as they shouldn't be banned from AMAZON for selling expired and worthless product. This seller is bordering on fraudulent activity by selling a product that is to be pulled from the shelf.
If you a seller of this product reading this. REMOVE THIS PRODUCT and return it to BLIZZARD as they have informed me that you are supposed to stop selling and return this store shelf item back to them.
Thank you!
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2023
For those who has played WoW, I believe that this game is the next in the whole Warcraft series. Yes, I know this isn't a RTS, but you do definitely have to practice strategy in a real-time setting!
The game has changed dramatically that I don't believe anyone would be convinced that they are playing WoW anymore. The talent revisions, all the different items, different quests, new races to choose from, it's all different now.
If people ask me if I play WoW, I'd say, "Huh? Who plays WoW anymore? That game's old." Blizzard has done well to come out with a new game that makes it more enjoyable of a MMORPG than the old World of Warcraft, and I see great new things every day that I play.
I recommend this game to any PC gamer out there, especially the D2 fans of old(I am one myself!), and to those who have played WoW but quit. This isn't WoW anymore! Come back and enjoy Warcraft 4!!!
(1) WoW does not have enough safeguards against bad player behavior. The text profanity filter is inadequate and now the game has incorporated (or will soon incorporate) in-game voice chat. Sorry, but that is a real turn-off for me (and ought to be for anyone with kids playing this game). I am not interested in hearing heaven-knows-who saying heaven-knows-what via integrated voice chat. Gross and inappropriate text chat was bad enough.
(2) WoW is basically a grind-oriented game. People say there is a "story" here, but there really is not. There is a lore backdrop for the quests, but it is not a story per se. WoW is all about grinding for gold, gear, and experience/levels.
(3) WoW instances cannot be soloed. Thus, if you want to experience instance content, you must form a group of 4 to 5 players (at a minimum). Sometimes -- usually, in fact -- groups of players are great, but sometimes they are just awful. I enjoy multiplayer questing occasionally, but I do not want to be dependent on it to enjoy and experience game content.
(4) WoW instances take too damn long. Sorry, but they just do. Often, by the time you find a full group, you've run out of time to run the instance. Or you might get halfway through an instance, someone will drop out, and your group may well just fall apart or you have to wait again to find a player to fill in the missing slot. It's ridiculous and highly aggravating.
(5) WoW's Looking-for-Group mechanism is really lame for a game of this scope and with this many subscribers. The current Looking-for-Group tool is nonsensical, unecessarily complex, and not at all user friendly. As a result, only a small proportion of players even use it.
(6) WoW's next expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, looks completely unappealing to me, just more of the same for levels 70 to 80. It'll be a "must-have" for the dedicated WoW gamers, but for the rest of us? Meh. Not interested.
The Burning Crusade does nothing to rectify the basic problems with a game of this type. It added higher-level quests and instances of the same sort and variety as the original game, of course, but that's about it. I got approximately halfway through the new regions of the Burning Crusade and just got ... tired ... of it. And I was paying $15 a month ... for this?
I have played both WoW and Guild Wars extensively and, in my opinion, Guild Wars is clearly the better game: better story, better graphics, better and more varied options for various styles of play (solo/casual, group, guild, etc.), better combat system, sleeker armor, better (simpler) crafting system, better weapons acquisition, less grinding, more creative quests, no monthly fee, etc. And with the Eye of the North expansion pack coming out soon, well, this jaded ex-warcrafter will be headed for the new regions of Tyria with nary a look back.
If Blizzard wants to draw me and other casual/solo-oriented gamers back into the WoW universe, then they need to introduce summonable non-player characters (NPCs -- like the henchman or heroes you have in Guild Wars), allowing groups and/or individuals to fill the gaps in their teams as needed or form a complete team of their own and so have a reasonable chance of success for completing the various group quests and dungeons in WoW. But, hey, Guild Wars has that *now* ... :-)
