The most crucial development for World of Warcraft was in January 2007 with the expansion, The Burning Crusade. This title incorporate elements from a previous game, Warcraft 3, by including the former villains, the Burning Legion. It added a new playable race to both the Alliance and the Horde, with the race of Blood Elves confirmed as joining the Horde. It also set to raise the game’s level cap to 70 and opened up the area of the Outlands. The new content and features have been very promising.

It is interesting to consider how the World of Warcraft expansion will be received. It should satisfy people, as it will offer growth and variety to the whole experience. It will be fascinating to see what new race is joining the Alliance, and it will be intriguing and different for the Horde to have their own “pretty” race in the form of the Blood Elves. In general, the expansion is a good thing and will give the game more depth. It should make the game more appealing to players.
