Of course, there are legions of players who have already achieved level 60 in World of Warcraft and are far more interested in improving old characters than creating new ones. For them, The Burning Crusade provides passage through the Dark Portal, a monument of Warcraft lore that allows access to the disintegrating realm of Outland.
An entirely new continent replete with seven sprawling zones, Outland was built for players between the old level cap of 60 and the new one of 70. From the plains of Nagrand to the forests of Terokkar, from the blasted Hellfire Peninsula to the fragmented Netherstorm, it is a place where players can soar on The Burning Crusade's flying mounts and practice their hand at the new Jewelcrafting profession.
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. Quest dialog is well-written and does a wonderful job of pulling players into the ever-shifting story of the war. Put simply, everything just feels right.
But one can never forget that The Burning Crusade is, first and foremost, an expansion pack and is geared towards those players already quite familiar with Azeroth. So long as you are, there's very little reason for you to not broaden your in-game horizons. If you can spare the cash, pick up the game. We'll see you in Outland.
