The Burning Crusade Revealed!

by Ingrid on October 28th, 2005

First came the leaked details, and now Blizzard has announced the official ones.

You’ll find that they were almost accurate, save for a 5 level difference in the caps, and a few other things. The main thing I was excited about - the Blood Elves - are indeed true, and I’m delighted to read about it. I have only one issue with this expansion: how the hell am I going to balance CoV and WoW?! Oy, gamers lead such difficult lives.

Oh, right, you wanted to know the official details. Behold:

An increase in the level cap to 70
Two new playable races, including the magical Blood Elves
New starting zones in Quel’Thalas and beyond
The entire new continent of Outland, reachable through the Dark Portal
Many new high-level dungeons to explore in Azeroth, Outland, and elsewhere
New flying mounts in Outland
Many new and dangerous monsters, including epic world bosses
Hundreds of new quests
Hundreds of new items
A new profession: Jewelcrafting
Socketed items
And much, much more…

I tingle with anticipation!

All of blizzard’s details can be found here, including a preview video, and a bunch of screen caps.
