Blizzard announced an expansion pack for their hit MMORPG World of Warcraft at their inaugural festival, BlizzCon.

[i]World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade[/i] has yet to be given a release date but the effects can be seen already. Forums have been crammed with speculation over the last few weeks including some fairly off-the-wall theories. Blizzard has put several, but not all, of those to bed by announcing that TBC will include the following:

?Two more playable races including the Blood Elves for the Horde and a currently unannounced race for the Alliance (rumors lean to the Pandarens)
?Increase in the level cap to 70 from 60.
?New starting zones for new races
?A new continent called ?Outland? along with many new high-level instances
?New flying mounts in ?Outland?
?A new profession: Jewelcrafting
?And tons of new items, quests, and so on and so forth.

Keep in mind that any of this information is likely to change and that we?ll keep you updated with any new information that comes our way.
