This is a long awaited expansion pack to the original world of warcraft. The game is online play only meaning you need a stable broadband connection to play the game well, the base specification of your computer dosent have to be perfect to run the game either as it can run on most computers with the video options at the lowest possible settings.

Assuming you have and played the original world of warcraft then i will stick to the facts about the expansion only and not the original game, The burning crusade (tbc for short) allows the opening of outland a rather massive island split up into seven sections, and with the opening of outland allows the level cap to be increased to 70 from the original which was 60.

Also added into the game are two new races (one for each faction) The alliance got the mighty draeni and the hord got the evil blood elf. With these two new races unlocked the one class each faction didnt have the alliance being shaman and the horde being paladin. There is also a new flying mount allowing you to fly to your destinations rather than run there however they wont come cheap.

As the players increased in skill and strength blizzard being the mad cats they are added new party and raid instaces into the game, they have recently opened up a new raid instance in a recent patch so they are always working on new things to keep the players interested. In these new places comes new challenges and new items to get.

The PvP side of the game brought a new battleground which mixed two original battlegrounds into one to increase difficulty on winning and focusing as a team. The most exciting part of PvP in the burning crusade though has to be arena in which you can make a team of 2,3 or 5 and go head to head against other teams and increase your team rating and recieve arena points to get the gladiator armor set. nearly every player is in an arena team because you really get to show off your skill in a small team and prove that your better than some players, recently blizzard have announced a global arena tournament with the prize money being $120,000!! you have to pay to enter the tournament but nearly everyone has a chance of winning it depends on your skill and your determination to win.

I have been an avid world of warcraft player for a few years now and i still love the game as much as i did when i first played it there is so much to do in the game it keeps you going for a long time. I enjoy the full round of the game having 1 level 70 character for doing raids and 1 level 70 character for PvP. I also find that the world of wracraft community is the best you can find in any game, i have spoke to lots of different people in the game and have even formed friendships because of the game i highly recommend the game to anyone even if your just a casual player you can still expierience so much fun in the game. however i would get moving fast as there is a new expansion due out soon making it harder to level from 1 - 80.
