The Burning Crusade, World Of Warcrafts newest expansion, has been launched as Blizzcon kicks off by revealing the new Horde race, Blood elves. The entire race, once known as the high elves, was nearly wiped out when their homeland was crushed by the undead. In gameplay, all blood elves have been given a racial ability to suck magical energy from magic using creatures. A second racial ability helps you channel the energy itself "Arcane Torrent", this ability is stackable.The level cap has been increased to 70 with new starting zones in Qual'Thalas and an entire new continent named Outland, reachable through the dark portal. What seemed to strike the most interest amongst fans though is the prospect of flying mounts, Which I would imagine would make chasing down an enemy in PVP much more interesting.
For those of you who are crafters, Jewelcrafting will now be added, as well as socketed items, allowing the ability to customizeyour items. With Hundreds of new quests and items as well as epic world bosses this expansion will definitely keep you busy.
Although the horde race has been revealed, no words on the new alliance race has been said, though many speculations have been mentioned, perhaps even a Murlock race?.
