Monday 22 January 2007 Tuesday, January 16, 12 am Eastern Standard Time: The world stalls for a moment, then gives a little shudder as the lucky few run through the sickly-green, glistening portal, leaving behind the masses who could only stare enviously after them, then quickly mouse over the clock on the mini-map, to see how many more hours it would be before they could purchase their copy of The Burning Crusade. World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade is the first expansion to the phenom of ...

We got a chance to sit down with J. Allen Brack, the lead producer for World of Warcraft, during BlizzCon - the two-day all-Blizzard-all-the-time fest. Brack talked about the upcoming patch and the recently announced second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. “Northrend has been part of WoWs development for some time, it has a long history in Warcraft 3,” said Brack. “Back in the early days we actually talked about adding it with original continents, but that obviously didnt ...   » Read Full World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade preview

Jul 16, 2007
Regular raiders can look forward to Zul'Aman, a new instance coming down the pipeline in Blizzard's upcoming World of Warcraft patch. Located in the southwestern region of the Ghostlands, Zul'Aman will be a 10-man level 70 raid. With its intimate party size and lack of any attunement or reputation requirements, Zul'Aman seems designed to provide smaller raiding parties and guilds burnt out on Karazhan with some fresh stomping ...   » Read Full World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade preview

We say no to time sinks and reflect on The Burning Crusade's impact on end game
Apr 4, 2007
We were running Mechanar on Heroic the other day and while clearing the final boss - which is really the only boss with any worthwhile loot - we wiped. No problem. We ran back, zoned in, got to the elevator… and it glitched. We couldnt reach the boss, and were stuck on the floor wed already cleared with hours of work wasted. We opened a petition with a GM since the same glitch had happened earlier to a friends group and a GM had opened the gate for them. The GM we got, however, ...   » Read Full World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade preview

Blue demons from space land in WoW and everyone starts making jewellery
Sep 28, 2006
Like Quake II, it all begins in a crash-landed escape pod. Once you've created your Draenei character - the tall blue demons who join the Alliance side in this expansion - you wander out of the wreck and into your new world. Your early quests are to help other Draenei injured in the crash, find those who are lost, and check out your new surroundings. After these scene-setting levels in a spooky forest lit by scattered Draenei power crystals, you're sent on a mission to Exodar, the crashed ...   » Read Full World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade preview

Forthcoming expansion incinerates prior WoW norms
Aug 18, 2006
World of Warcraft Lead Game Designer Tom Chilton stopped by our offices today to herald the end of the 40-man WoW raid - massive battles in which huge groups of 40 players clash with gigantic dragons. With the new expansion The Burning Crusade set to launch this holiday, developer Blizzard has taken a firm stance in shrinking these massive adventuring parties to eliminate the drama that springs from arguing over the best weapons and armor. In an effort to eliminate DKP (Dragon Kill Points - ...   » Read Full World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade preview
