Info: (Markera för att se)

The following is a compilation of information from what we know about the expansion. Information is mostly from rumors, which some have been confirmed as true, or a very high chance of being true.

The Burning Crusade

The name is a registrated trademark of Blizzard listed as "computer software", thus confirming their plan to use it. This was also printed clearly on the magazine cover which was quickly removed from the TGM website.

Source #1: TGM Magazine

    The Italian game magazine had an expansion preview and this is what was written:

    New territory: Outland.

    New instance: Karazhan, a 5-man instance in Deadwind Pass.

    Level cap raised to lvl 70, just as written on the cover.

    New profession: Jewelcrafting, gives ability to craft gems, to be used on armor and weapons, similar to enchanting.

    Two new races:

    Blood Elves for the Horde (yes, I'm sorry, the screens are true). Alliance race still unknown.

    Atmospheric effects:

    Rain and snow added to the world.

    The Expansion Set is scheduled to be released due May 2006.

Thanks to silkfire on the forums for the information. TGM removed their cover image and all information from what we could tell a day or two after it had been published on their online website.

    I have more info!!! It's quite trustable.

    Blood Elves will have a new starting zone north of Eastern Plaguelands and a new dungeon will be included.

    The racial trait of the Blood Elves 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.

    Battlegrounds shared between servers.

    No hero classes.

    Alliance arce will NOT be showcased at BlizzCon.

    Outland will come, Illidan as well.

    Even more news

    The Blood Elves will be Mages, Warlocks and Warriors but it's undecided if either hunters or rogues.

    Their starting zone will be Quel'Thalas (what is left), north of the Eastern Plaguelands and with a three-zones valley inbetween (Eversong Woods with the capital Silvermoon, Ghostland and a troll themed zone called Zul'Aman).

    About the live content, the opening of Silithus will be introduced by a live event that will require the collaboration of everyone and that will only happen once for each server. Behind the gates there will be a open zone tailored for 20 players (defined by Blizzard "casual hardcore" with a temple at the center with an instance that will be the biggest to date (two-three times Molten Core). The players will also get access to special mounts (insects) that will be only usable in the dungeon.

    The Outlands will be divided into differently themed regions (like the rock valleys of the Hellfire Peninsula and the luxuriant forests of Zanga Marsh, part of what is left of Dreanor). While within Shadowmoon Valley there will be the Black Temple with the Illidian as boss.

    The flying mount will be for level 70 players and after an epic quest chain. But only usable in the Outlands (floating isles).

    No new engine changes or features. The Blood Elves models seem to use 20% more polygons. Blizzard is also experimenting with Specular Environmental Mapping.

    The atmospherical effects should arrive soon as a live patch.

    Also, by the time the expansion is out, the Battlegrounds should be finally linked between the servers to kill the queues.

Level Cap

The level cap will be raised to level 70. This was first seen on a magazine cover from TGM, which was only available for viewing for about 48 hours before the site removed the headline and replaced it with the new Brother in Arms headline.

New Races

So far all speculation points to the Blood Elves as the new Horde race. The new Alliance race does not have any factual basis so far, the only clear guesses we can make are the Panderan, which would be very unlikely in our standing opinion.

Over at 1UP there was a post on someones blog describing how he has played the expansion, and has seen "everything". The new Alliance race was not disclosed but he was able to play as the new Horde race and there was a lot of new content in the expansion. As well as there being an upcoming painting of the new Horde race. Maybe this will be shown off at Blizzcon.

    So, as soon as Blizzard gives me the okay, I will replace my desktop picture with our December cover, which pictures an awesome painting from one of the Blizzard artist's of the new Horde race. I hate being a tease (well, okay, it's a little fun), but I just can't tell ya yet. But soon!

This goes into a little bit of detail, but there is "open space" in the games data files, which store the class/race information. Leaving open two slots for new races, one for Alliance and one for Horde. This could once again, point to preparation for new races in the Expansion.

Sent in by one of our users, Swift, it seems there is a bit more speculation that the Alliance race could very well be Panderan.

    There are 3 children in Stormwind that i ran into the other day, having a conversation about the Panderan. I did not catch it all (ran off too fast) but it at least started with 1 boy saying there was rumor that one had been sighted, then another of the boys replies that they are just a myth/rumor.

    It may be nothing, but it also may be a subtle hint regarding the new alliance race. Once the servers come back up, i will try and find the boys again and screenshot the entire conversation.

    Follow-up

    Ok. These 3 kids were found on a pier inbetween the dwarvern district and garden district in Stormwind city, doing a spot of fishing. As you can see from the screenshot, Justin seems to be full of tall stories, Bradon doesnt seem to be able to believe them, and Roman is entirely uninterested in them.

    The last 'tall' story has Justin claiming that people have seen Panderons.

    This might just be something Blizzard threw in as a sort of joke (just like one of the previous comments from justin of "There is no spoon"), or it may be something more. Guess we wont really know until Blizzard make an announcement

Update:

This seems to be legitment, at least for Blood Elves as we have been required to pull all related images which were submitted to the site.

Blizzcon Releases

Blizzard announced on the official forums recently that a new starting area will be showcased at Blizzcon, which may also mean that they'll give much more information as well as possibly a demo of what's to come in the expansion.

The new starting area may not specifically be the new races starting area, but speculation points to the Blood Elves starting location. We may not know anything else until Blizzcon arrives.

Dark Portal

It is rumored that the dark portal will open in the expansion. Thus giving way to the new races starting locations, as well as new zones and instances. This would most likely be done from a World Event right before the release of the expansion in which players would participate in events in-game to help open the Dark Portal.

[vigge]

Long gone...

Gissa varför jag inte har någon bonus honor? Kom in när horde nästan var framme vid vår sista GY, dock vände vår grupp hela matchen och drog dem tillbaka till Stonehearth. Lite jobbigt att jag bara fick 2000 honor för det hela kalaset =(

Våra 2 rogues satt i bakgrunden och snodde alla loots =P

BTW, igår sänkte vi Lucifron (vi = Svea Rike + The Light of Stormwind), Gloves of Might och något annan melee-skräp samt Tranq shot droppades.

Tyckte bilderna såg jävlit fake ut, den enda bilden som såg ut att vara sant var nog instancen.

Grafiken var alldeles för blurrig på Blood Elvsen, ser ju fan likadant ut som det gör för mig när jag spelar

Det ser ut så med max AA och AF.

[Addepladde]

Heh, gjorde ZG nyss (Zul'Gurub) och wipade en massa ggr på High Priesten...

Ska göra ett annat försök nästa söndag tror jag.

Vilken High Priest? Finns ett antal i sånna i ZG

Första gången i MC idag med guilden, kul erfarenhet. VI kämpade oss tappert fram till Lucifron men efter ett misslyckat försök gav vi upp.

Fick iallafall Giantstalker's Bracers så jag vart nöjd med min första runda

[Blaucrozz]

Bilderna var ganska fula, utom några landskaps bilder. Men som de säger kommer spelete Maj 2006 och är alltså inte klart. Bloodelfs kulle vara sååå kul att spela dock Warlock Mage Warrior... Tråkigt. Att de skulle öka lvl'n till 70 kan omöjligt stämma.. Tänk på alla items som folk har kämpat för sen ifebruari, så kommer det lvl 65 Blues som är så jävla mycket bättre. LÖGN! men som sagt.. Vill ha Bloodelves

[StellHell]

Hatar onyxias spawn. 6dagars rotation. Idag så kom hom på en Söndag. Och det pajjade våra MC helger denna och nästa vecka.

Vi kör alltid 4bossar lördag och 4bossar söndag. Men idag blev det bara 2 bossar MC och onyxia. Så vi har 2 bossar på tisdag och Ragnaros på torsdag. Jobbigt att behöva rensa alla trash mobs en extra gång igen..

Sen så kan vi inte fixa raids till ZG. Ingen som vill/orkar köra ZG. Alla bara PvPar när det inte är MC/Ony/kazz/azu.. Det suger getpung..

[Blaucrozz]

hehe, vi kör bara Zul Gurub. Och PvP till måttlig del. Kan bero på att ingen gjort onyxia questline än men men

Lol.

Hur långt har folk kommit i MC/raid mm?

Vår guild har dödat alla bossar i MC och fått ner Ragnaros till 19% (Kommer antagligen döda honom på torsdag)

I ZG har vi dödat Bat, Snake, Spider, Tiger, bloodlord, fiskbossen och den spawnade bossen(300 alchemist spawn). Är fast på Panther och Hexxer.

Vi har också dödat Azuregos och Lord Kazzak ett par gånger.

(Haft ett försök på en emerald drake också. Gick inte bra 80%~)

Bara ett försök? Vad var orsaken, var ni lata eller? =P

[Urkas]

Jag o Thotims guild har iaf tagit ner Ragnar till 70% eller nåt sånt. Onyxia har vi tagit några gånger också. Kazzak tog vi på första försöket (iofs andra, men det första var nån som ninjapullade honom på).

Azuregos fick vi ner till 55% på första försöket. Och det var med 24 pers.

Dock hann vi inte testa mer iom att en annan guild tog han direkt efter vi hade wipeat. :\

I ZG går dock iofs hyfsat. Har tagit dom fyra första bossarna tror jag det är. Vi har iaf försökt på tigerbossen, men det gick inte så bra tyvärr. :/
