There’s no debate about what made 2004 a year to remember for computer gamers: the emergence of ( ), the most popular online role-playing game in the world. And unlike so many other Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs), the developers at treated Mac users with an equal hand, developing the software in lock-step for both Mac and Windows platforms. Now the company is on the cusp of releasing a new expansion pack for the game called. Here’s a look at what’s inside. The Burning Crusade is being released as an add-on for the original game. It provides new capabilities for existing player characters, new playable races, a new continent to explore, and new monsters, weapons, spells, magic items, and many other things to collect and to explore. Let’s back up for a second and start at the beginning.

In January 2007, Blizzard Entertainment will release The Burning Crusade, an add-on to its popular World of Warcraft multiplayer role-playing game.

World of Warcraft takes places on the mythical world of Azeroth. This has been the setting for each Warcraft game since the original real-time strategy game debuted more than 10 years ago. World of Warcraft changed forever how players saw Azeroth by turning the entire geography into a massive, shared online experience. Players assume the role of hero characters made up of one of several different species of creature, ranging from Night Elves to Gnomes, Orc to Human, Tauren to the Undead. You choose a class for your character (paladin, shaman, mage, hunter, and more); then, you go on quests given to you by non-player characters controlled by the game’s servers in order to gain experience. You can collect money, items, and weapons, sell goods, buy training, and even establish professions, such as mining or enchantment.

New races Nature Walk The Draenei may hail from the same home as the Orcs, but they couldn’t be more different. Blizzard’s legendary ability to weave a good yarn and a seemingly endless supply of quests and story permutations to uncover and experience have brought millions around the globe to World of Warcraft. But even the most dedicated WoW player was bound to get bored after a while, and that’s where the Burning Crusade comes into play.

Ou've taken Azeroth by storm. Now a dark frontier awaits. Beyond the Dark Portal, the sinister agents of the Burning Legion have renewed their demonic crusade to. Amazon.com: burning crusade mac.

It expands the game’s parameters by introducing two new playable races: the Blood Elves and the Draenei. The former are a group of elves that have become dependent on tapping mystical energies—even demonic ones—and have aligned themselves reluctantly with the Horde (their kin the Night Elves remain in the Alliance’s good graces). The Draenei are blue-skinned aliens who have crash-landed on Azeroth in the hopes of aiding the Alliance and finding shelter from their common enemy, the Burning Legion. Left to their own devices, the two new playable races would be enough to tempt many World of Warcraft enthusiasts, but that’s only where the fun starts. For senior WoW players, the skill cap—the maximum amount of experience your character can accrue—has risen from 60 to 70.

That doesn’t sound like much, but the amount of experience you must acquire to get through the higher levels will keep players busy for quite some time. New places Blizzard has also created an entirely new continent to explore—it’s called Outland, and it’s a remnant of the Orcs’ original homeworld, called Draenor (also, fittingly, the place where the Draenei have come from). This area, accessible only through an interdimensional rift called the Dark Portal, is specifically designed for higher-level players. The other two continents in World of Warcraft, Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, have specific zones that are set up for higher players, but now WoW offers a playground that’s all their own. High level players will also be able to take to the skies of Outland on flying mounts, exploring wherever they want.

And for those players who haven’t grown tired of the geography of the existing lands in Azeroth, Blizzard has packed in many new high-level dungeons, new starting zones, hundreds of new quests, and more. The core gameplay experience has improved, as well. Many WoW players enjoy battling each other in arena combat, so Blizzard has added a “Ladder” system that lets you play against other ranked players, working up the chain as you succeed in more combat.
