ith more than 7 million active worldwide subscribers, World of Warcraft continues to be a phenomenon. A lot's changed in the land of Azeroth since we at GameSpot named World of Warcraft our 2004 Game of the Year, but only now is developer Blizzard Entertainment readying a full-on retail expansion pack, The Burning Crusade. Though this expansion won't be released till next year, we're fortunate to have access to a closed beta test of the work in progress. And we thought we'd share the experience with you as directly as we could, short of sending you our logins and passwords. Now that'd just be crazy.

Be here on Saturday, October 28 at 11 a.m. PDT for a one-time-only event: GameSpot's Live Eight-Hour Gameplay Marathon of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, exclusively for GameSpot subscribers. In it, we'll bring you a firsthand, in-depth look at what to expect from this ambitious upgrade to the world's most popular online role-playing game.
Besides just tuning in to watch the feed, subscribers will also be able to engage in a real-time text chat, as well as send in their questions to our marathon team, who will be responding to as many as they can in their eternal quest for more loot and experience points. Next week, a highlights video cut from the eight-hour marathon will be posted here and available to everyone.
Subscribers will also earn a unique Burning Crusader emblem in their profiles for watching the broadcast (please note the emblem will not be awarded from watching the free five-minute preview).
