 Horrible community ruins a really fun game, 2007-10-21
After playing WOW for well over a year, I was looking forward to BC breathing new life into the game. The grind to 70 was alot of fun on all my characters. I enjoyed the very distinct (and VERY thrillingly hostile) zones and I found the atmosphere really immersing. Outland itself was quite challenging, got some great gear, and had some fun times, but once I hit 70 on my characters, I simply started losing interest. The thought of waiting an hour to get a raid organized and then trudging through a raid instance no longer held interest.
I thought the graphics in the expansion were excellent. No, not as detailed as some other games out there, but it never crashed, play was fluid, and everything just worked (unlike the endless hours of 'tweaking' in LOTRO, which ultimately caused me to throw that game in the bin.)
Overall, it wasn't the game itself that lost it for me, but the childish and hostile community. I enjoyed the PvP aspect of the game, but the merit-based PvP system really just led to alot of people standing around waiting to get their merits, alot of name-calling, people railing on each other about their equipment...pretty much an elementary school playground. I rarely found the community friendly or helpful and guilds were pretty much the same. If you want to get an idea of the community, take a read on the WoW website forums. THOSE are the people you'll be playing with. Very sad that a really fun game was ruined by such a negative community.
You can solo from levels 1-70 if you'd rather not deal with the community or just prefer to adventure around on your own for a bit, though that does tend to get rather boring. Yes, many argue that you should play an MMORPG to group; well, the choice is yours in this game. If a game this large were available offline, I certainly would enjoy it.
Having taken a 6-month break from the game, I was missing it a bit, so I went back to the forums. Then I remembered why I'd left.
 Just get it, 2007-10-12
If you are going to play WoW, you have to have this expansion. I would highly suggest you get it at the same time you get the original WoW game. The BC expansion allows two more races, and allows your high level character even higher. Flying mounts, outland, etc... MUST have. NOT getting this is like buying a Tennis racket with no strings.
I'd also suggest getting the BC Strategy guide, it gives a terrific walkthrough for the two new races.
Without it you aren't playing WOW, 2007-10-06
Want a BE (Blood Elf) in the Horde, get the expansion.
Cannot say anything about Alliance side, but why miss any of the action?
Now we wait on the Lich King, and for Blizzard to fix their patches. Patch 2.2.2 and hoping the glitches go away soon, but voice chat is nice.

Great game and worth the cost, 2007-10-05
I recieved my order in a very timely manner and the product was in great condition.
Also, this game is really worth the cost initial cost to purchase the product as well as the monthly cost to play. The world itself has so many different ways to interact with other people NPC's and the environment itself. All in all, it is very diverse. The only "downside" to this game is the download time for all of the patches. Once you're past that the times to download new patches are usually quick. I have recommended this game to many of my friends who play MMORPG's.
I love it, 2007-10-03
Burning Crusade doesn't really make the quality of World of Warcraft any better, but then again it doesn't need to. It simply adds more content (two new races, new profession, new zones and quests, and a whole new continent) to the game. I've thoroughly enjoyed it, and would not mention World of Warcraft without telling someone to get the expansion as well. It is simply great.
