Overall, while Burning Crusade removed the "wholeness" of the World of Warcraft it was an absolute blast of an expansion.… Expand

    The best iteration of WoW. Although not perfect (What is?) it's the expansion that has the most amount of pro's and the least amount of cons. Blizzard really managed to make all the classes more well rounded, without going overboard, and pretty much fixed every single major flaw that was present in vanilla. Could had done without flying though, in hindsight.

    10 / 10. People who write reviews after "classic" should be banished from here...rly..This game, this exp, gave many of US a hella of an amount of hours in our childhood.

    Really I don't know that a MMO is ever going to beat this on an expansion by expansion basis for me. Everquest ruine of kunark might be the closest thing to it I can think of.

    The expansion that changed the World of Warcraft forever (for better or worse). The introduction of the Blood Elves and Draenei ushering in Shamans for the Alliance and Paladins for the Horde really shook things up at the time. The introduction of flying mounts, arenas, heroic dungeons, true daily quests and smaller raid sizes are popular features to this day.

    everal years have passed since the Burning Legion's defeat at Mount Hyjal and the races of Azeroth have continued to rebuild their once shattered lives. With renewed strength, the heroes of the Horde and Alliance have begun to explore new lands and broken through the Dark Portal

    Really brought World of Warcraft to life. Outland was a fine addition to the universe of WoW and raids became much more fun than in vanilla.

    The best MMORPG game ever. A dream come true for warcraft fans. It's a new kind of gaming when you can enjoy a great game while making friends. Still it's for players who enjoy the rpg type, and enjoys getting addicted with all infinite content blizzard has to offer.

    World of Warcraft BC was my first online game, and I loved it.
    I tried it out after seeing the ashes of alar flying animation, it just looked so cool.
    I have always been a sucker for magic, elves and dragons and I always lean on the darker side of characters so I went for a Belf Warlock.
    He was my first and only max level toon.

    BRILLIANT EXPANSION. I didn't play a great deal as i was only just getting into the game, but the leveling, capping, dungeons and eventually my dabble at raiding all felt so rewarding.

    The best expansion of the best mmo of 2000-2020 period. The memories from this game is real. All the laughs and on some occasion tears to. All the people that you meet and all the people that you touched. In this game we are all keyboard warriors of epic proportion. This expansion brought the fight of the burning legion, the blood elfs and the dranei. Best every!

    This is the WoW that i personally miss the most. back in 2007 the game was still fun to play, even if the leveling was a bit too grindy and time consuming. it has been a long time since i quit playing but if blizzard decided to open a burning crusade server today, i wouldn't hesitate to come back to world of warcraft!

    After having played almost all expansions, I have concluded that TBC is probably the best expansion ever released in the mmoRPG scene ever. The game speaks for itself, check the cinematic, that is all you want. Too bad that after tbc the too much casualisation policy ruined the game, transforming it into a mindless farming fest with no purpose...

    The Burning Crusade is by far the best expansion Blizzard ever released. Perfect quests, raids, beautiful zones, nice leveling.

    And not to forget beautiful instances like Mechanaar and Botanica. Mmmm, yummy! :)

    Anybody who really wants to play WoW needs to first build a time machine and go back to January 17th, 2007.

On January 17th, 2007 though, World of Warcraft was great and would remain almost perfect for nearly two years. Every aspect of the game was still a proper challenge for people with brains, it had been updated in all the appropriate ways and dungeons were hard so that people had to actually learn how to play and cooperate to get through them. In fact it rewarded teamwork, dedication and social abilities across the board, exactly like an MMORPG is supposed to.

    Playing any other version of WoW than TBC is a flawed experience which is either too time consuming and poorly itemized or a poorly veiled insult to your intelligence. So what are you waiting for? Get cracking on that time machine immediately!    … Expand

    Burning crusade was the best expansion made for wow, but they destroyed pvp with arenas and resilience, and giving shaman to the alliance and paladins to the horde was the biggest mistake they could of done. Nothing differentiate the horde and the alliance now.

My favourite thing about the game is the environment, it's incredible. To get to the Outlands from Azeroth is through a portal in the Blasted Lands. Once I got through the portal, it was such a breathtaking sight. The surrounding scenery is about ten times bigger than normal things, there are elites that are huge that roam around the landscape, and the land itself is quite exotic. This is throughout the whole Outlands and it's an exhilarating experience wondering if one of those giant elites will spot you and come for you. The quests are average as expected, the dungeons are pretty good, and there are some PvP areas that can be fun. The new Alliance race, Draenei, have been introduce. The males are decent looking, but I think the females are kind of ugly. The new Horde race, Blood Elves, are a pretty cool race and are my first choice for the faction. It's a great expansion and it's one that needs to be fully explored… Expand

    I had the most fun in wow during this expansion. It was much harder than the original and felt more rewarding. PVP was great with the introduction of areas, heroic mode instances and some of the best raids of all time!

    Just a best WoW expansion. Best raids, best PvP balance. There was no LFR, and people were more sociable. Outland was astonishing and beautiful. Too sad after this WoW has become degraded

    Out of all the expansions, The Burning Crusade has always been my favorite. I still get waves of memories when I walk through the burning portal and step into the vast expance that is Hellfire Peninsula.

WoW would never again reach the high point of TBC as every expansion afterwards was worse and worse (altho still pretty good).… Expand

    New areas and races are well thought out and there is tons of stuff to do. Some hardcore raiders will not love the new 25 player raid cap, though, and the guild aspect of the game could have used more improvements. [Jan 2007]

    The new locations, characters, items, and monsters are nothing short of awesome. The voice acting is perfect, the sound effects spot-on, and the score at times both ominous and uplifting.
