Being that The Burning Crusads is confirmed at BlizzCon, more information has been released as to it's contents.



Quote:
Many Bothans died to bring us this information..


New region:
Outlands

New Instances:
Kharazan - Near Deadwind Pass (5-man)

Caverns of Time in Tanaris (unusual place where the players will be able to move back and forth in time to reenact the main events of the history of Warcraft)

Level cap raised to lvl 70 - There will be repetable quests to gain access to a flying epic mount usable only in the Outlands.

New profession: Jewelcrafting, it will be possible to create gems to apply to weapons and armors and add effects. Other professions will be able to craft objects with embedded slots for these gems.

New races:
Horde - Blood Elves with a new starting zone north of Eastern Plaguelands and a new dungeon.
Alliance - Undisclosed

Battlegrounds shared between servers.

Atmospherical effects.

Release: Not before May 2006.

The new region isn't Northrend but the Outlands, with the remains of the planet Dreanor, the world of the first orcs. The remains of this planet float in the air, this is why it will be formed like separated "isles". Two dungeons will be located here along with a new one near the Deadwind Pass.

Same for Tanaris. There will be a brand new instance working like a temporal breach that will allow the players to time travel (hence the name: Caverns of Time) and reenact past events. The war at mount Hyal is one.

The level 70 is real, but no hero classes.

The new race for the horde is the blood elf. The racial traits will be a "Mana Tap" to slowly leech the mana of the target (it will be applicable more than once like the Sunder Armor) and that will then directly load the second trait: "Arcane Torment (or Torrent)" which will work like an area silence. The starting zone will probably be near Quel'thalas.

The Alliance race is still not available but it seems it will be Pandarens.

The new profession will be Jewelcrafting that works in a similar way to how the gems worked in Diablo 2.

And btw, the main boss will be Illidian.

Screens:


Blood Elf Female


Blood Elf Male


Blood Elf Village & Tower


Inside the Tower


New Portal

So am I. I've spent more time on WoW than doing anything else.

I am currently packing my bags and getting ready for my trip upto Anaheim. I'll be leaving ASAP tomorrow morning (as I've got a dr. app tomorrow too Sad ).

All the grim details of the expansion will most likely be floating around the net as well by then, but I hope to have my own little report (even a video of what I did, if I can figure out how to hook up this P.O.S. camera to my comp o.0 (it's an old camera)... ).
