Screens show off World of Warcraft expansion

New screenshots have been revealed of the eagerly awaited World of Warcraft expansion, The Burning Crusade, which will feature a load of new features and two new races.

The new races are the Draenei and the Blood Elves, and it's because of their introduction that members of the Horde can play as paladins and the members of Alliance can now make use of the shaman class.

At the same time the Blood Elves were founding the Blood Knights, a new order whose creation was made possible by former priestess Lady Liadrin. It was she who learned how to use the powers of the Light even though she had not earned such abilities, all thanks to experimentation by wizards working on a captured naaru.

Due to these two developments, players who have stayed faithful to one faction will now be able to experiment with new classes that were previously unavailable.
