Gear up for another nostalgic trip to the world of “classic” Azeroth, as World of Warcraft Classic commenced its pre- expansion patch for its upcoming expansion Burning Crusade Classic. The pre-expansion will let players have a glimpse of what they can expect from this upcoming expansion, including new characters, core systems, and a limited-time event.
Burning Crusade pre-expansion commenced last week, and it added some new features for the game. This is so players traversing the land of Azeroth won’t be surprised by the upcoming changes when Burning Crusade expansion officially launch.
- Choose Your Era: Players will make a choice for each of their characters, to progress into Burning Crusade Classic or continue their adventures in the Classic Era
- New Profession: Jewelcrafting is now learnable and can be levelled up to 300
- New Talent Systems: Players can explore the changes made to their characters’ talent trees and try out new builds and abilities
Players currently playing the patch can participate in the limited time event called Battle for the Dark Portal. Here, players must battle with the High lord Kruul and his demonic horde.
Digital Bundles and Optional services are also available for purchase in the shop to help players on their journey to the Outland and prepare them for the battle when the Dark Portal opens:
⦁ Dark Portal Pass: Players can use this to boost a character of their choice to level 58 (limited to one per account; new races excluded; Burning Crusade Classic realms only), where they will be equipped with gear, mount, consumables, and some gold—everything they need to be able to jump through the Dark Portal at launch
⦁ Deluxe Edition: This includes the Dark Portal Pass, 30 days of game time, a Reawakened Phase-Hunter mount for Burning Crusade Classic and a higher-fidelity Viridian Phase-Hunter for modern WoW players, a Dark Portal Hearthstone, and Path of Illidan toy.
⦁ Character Clone: This optional service lets people play a copy of an existing WoW Classic character on both a Burning Crusade Classic server and a Classic Era server
