Expansion details leaked
A few news sources are reporting that the expansion details (below) are official and have been leaked:
* Official title: "The Burning Crusade"
* 2 new races: Blood Elves (Horde) & Draenei (Alliance)
* New class: Spell Breaker
* Max level increased (75)
* 6 new areas
* 9 new high-end instances
* Updated transportation
Presumably the expansion pack will be optional so I'm interested to see how they handle the new races. Ability to see them in a patch maybe but play them only with the expansion? |
