Happy Anniversary Burning Crusade!
OK I’m a bit late but it still has to be said. January 16, 2007 was when the Burning Crusade Expansion was released. It was the day World of Warcraft changed from how things were before it came out. Whether it’s for the better for worse is really up to you guys but I say it’s much much better. It’s been a year now so here’s a message from Blizzard.
It was one year ago, today, that the blood elves and draenei joined the armies of Azeroth, and the Dark Portal was opened to the beautiful and terrifying vistas of Outland. On January 16, 2007, The Burning Crusade was released and sold almost 2.4 million copies worldwide in its first 24 hours of release, winning multiple awards from industry representatives. Since that time, World of Warcraft has reached the epic milestone of 9 million subscribers worldwide, and players have discovered the might of the Burning Legion, fought against the allies of Illidan in Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep, and even faced down the Betrayer himself in the Black Temple.
For those who have not yet had the chance to venture into the perils of Outland, a free trial of the Burning Crusade ( http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/trial/splash.html ) is available for download. For players yet to experience World of Warcraft, a free trial of the original game is also available. ( https://signup.worldofwarcraft.com/trial/10dayfreetrial.htm ) source
Time has flown by so fast that it really hasn’t seemed like a year has passed. I say Blizzard did a great job with their first expansion. It’s come a long way since when the game was just starting out. The success of the TBC expansion has me and I’m sure a lot of other players excited about the next expansion Wrath of the Lich King.
