And predictably the Blood Elf and Draenei starting areas are harder to transverse than Oxford Street during December. I haven't actually gotten the game, I've only played it at a friend's house, but already it's a lot of fun. Going through the Dark Portal is one of the best experiences I have yet seen in an MMO, and Sylvanas singing is one of the strangest things I've seen in a long time.
The two new races have been implemented rather well, although their voices do seem to go on after the animations have stopped. The textures have been upped when compared to the original races, and they should be quite fun to play as.
As Warcry reported, the game is also a homage to the Warcraft of old, with several old faces returning. To get the fight a few of the heroes from the RTS games (including, of course, Illidan), many of the locations from Warcraft 2 are making a return.
Burning Crusade doesn't advance the story loads (that is for the next one, which is rumoured to take place in Northrend, with a possible fight with Arthas climaxing that particular beast), but what it does do is present you with a massive event, that of the opening of the Dark Portal, and it really makes you feel like something is happening. When you go through the ominous gateway, you are immediately met with Horde and Alliance troops, grouping together to apparently organize battle plans (which, in all honesty, probably won't happen).
With the Warcraft movie approaching production, and the obligatory swamp of new content that will complement the expansion, now seems to be a perfect time to get into Warcraft. I'm not actually getting it just yet, preferring instead to wait for my birthday to get the Collector's Edition, but I'm going to play through Warcraft 3, and the Frozen Throne.
It's going to take a while for me to get from level 39 to level 70.
