World of Warcraft's popularity is skying like no tommarrow, now that people have freaquently included phases in their english such as "Space goat priests of the Narru unite!" and "Wait, if a Gnome mage casted fire on a Taurren, wouldn't all his hair catch on fire? How is that even a contest?". This just in: The most popular MMORPG on earth just pulled another 3,6000 new players 16 minutes ago. In additional news, World of Warcraft's first expansion, the Burning Cruesade, has dodged its way through the Q&A exams and ended up slipped onto the shelves. This expanasion of an epic game includes 2 new races, flying mounts that can be controlled, new places, new equipment, a new level cap, and some other shiny additions.
Remember the High elves from Warcraft 3? Remember how they got crushed after the Third War? Well, they are back, and they are one of the game's new races for the Horde. Generally resembling hip mall teens, fans of the series will be happy to see that the good classic elves are a pickable race for the horde in the expansion. The 2nd new race is the Alliance's Draenei, a clan of stereotypical goat-like aliens recovering from a spaceship crash, the Exodar. While there aren't any new classes, the two races support all your favorites: Hunters, priests, mages, and even paladins. The Draenei and Blood Elves themselves have a whole ton of personality in their style. They also, of course, unlock 2 new areas that could not previously be reached by players without the expansion. The ruins of Silvermoon, rebuilt, still remains large and breathtaking as ever. Without mention the soundtrack included for the elves and their imperialistic nature, the Draenei Azurmyst theme song is probably the best song ever made for a MMORPG.
The expansion adds alot more than just two areas and races. There are new equipment selections from vendors that offer new sheild and weapon designs, and new quests are ahand. Aside it is a new profession called Jewlcrafting, an interresting and, if anything, very difficult profession to master. For PVP players, new options for Areans and Battlegrounds reveal newer places for those who kill time to kill others. Lastly, for those in the higher levels, the level cap has been increased from 65 to 70. With that, Airnotical mounts can be piloted and flown in the air, provided you have a decent enough machine to render the breathtaking view below you.
The whole focus to take into consideration is that World of Warcraft is still a fun game that remains strong even after all these years. To make things better (as if that was possible in a game like this), the expansion adds so much to the game, taking a huge step forward to providing the best online game experiance in recent memory. The expansion can be fully explored in very little time, meaning that playing without the expansion leaves too much to be desired to pass up World of Warcraft's first, and best, expansion.
