World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade (Expansion Pack)

One of the biggest attractions of Burning Crusade for World of Warcraft is the expansion up to Level 70. Since its introduction, World of Warcraft has limited players just to 60 levels. With the Burning Crusade expansion pack, Levels 61-70 are opened up - along with a host of critical advantages and powers, the most famous being the ability to buy one of the flying mounts, like the neutral NetherDrake. More on the Burning Crusade flying mounts below, but imagine being able to fly after having been land-bound for two years. WoW!

Already Blizzard Entertainment has announced 2.5 million sales of Burning Crusade, the first World of Warcraft add-on pack. This is a must-have addition for the 8 million registered users of the online game World of Warcraft from Blizzard Entertainment.

Why such a huge phenomena for the new Burning Crusade Warcraft pack? The addition of the new Levels up to 70 and flying mounts are obvious. But there is a lot more. We will rovide some of the strategy tricks and hints here, and will review World of Warcraft (WOW) more tricks, cheats, hints and cheat codes in later posts. For now, understand Warcraft is a hugely popular MMORPG - Massively Multi-Player Online Role-Playing Game. It is the fourth in the series of Warcraft games.

Burning Crusade is the first official expansion pack for the World of Warcraft. As an expansion pack, it does not change the strategy of the underlying World of Warcraft online game, but provides new worlds, powers and characters. An official description of the Burning Crusade expansion is:

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 broken through the Dark Portal to investigate the realms beyond the known world. 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 vanquished have returned to renew their terrible Burning Crusade?World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expands the game by tremendous bounds, adding new races, lands, Battlegrounds, professions and items, and more!

The Burning Crusade was released in January 2007 to long lines at game stores throughout the United States, Europe and Canada. Rollouts in other major online game markets are meeting similar receptions. This is a worldwide online game with players from China, Taiwan, Korea, Australia, South Africa and more, in addition to the U.S., Europe and Canada.

Nice guide on the Burning Crusade add-on. I was wondering whether to buy it or stick with the original World of Warcraft, but it seems necessary now. When will you be posting on some Burning Crusade tricks or cheats?
