Under the name, The Burning Crusade, Blizzard has presented excerpts from its unfinished code which will hopefully, one day become a great add-on that will give just that another kick of WoW-drug to over six million players and beyond...
The new Alliance race mostly look like Taurens with blue skin, but with several twists in the overall design. Since the design wasn't over, we were informed that detailed explanation of what I played woudn't do justice to the overall experience, which was very positive.
The add-on brings a new continent to the table - for which you need access via The Dark Portal. I have entered The Dark Portal and it left me breathless - Blizzard really pulled all the stops in order to make the continent extremely visually impressive. The starting zone into the new continent mostly reminds me of Silithus with impressive look to the sky, filled with flying objects...
There are several dozen new monsters, which should add to the gametime. Blizzard expects completion of the game within the next couple of months. What really fascinates is the new medical bag, so that you can continue creating the potions without any problems. New profession, Jewlery is definetly a tricky one, but Socketed items ad the flavor into the original game.
Classes are far from being completed, since you could not play the role of Hunter, while it is known that every race is getting an asset which will equal the level playing fieid. Mages, Druids and Warriors got a significant rewamp, which was mostly due to gets all the classes into the balance once more.
