Surprising Burning Crusade Details for WoW

Heartless Gamer writes "There is quite a few surprises waiting in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. The raiding scene in World of Warcraft is going to dramatically change once Burning Crusade is released. Here's the long and short of it: all of the new high-end raid content will be capped at 25 heads. Indeed, all the raid content that was mentioned in today's demo, with the exception of Kharazan (which is designed for 10 players) is being designed around a force of 25. Blizzard has completely done away with 40-man raiding; Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, and Naxxrammas will still exist, of course. There just isn't going to be any new 40-man content. How's that for earth-shattering?"

  2. How about an interesting expansion instead? by Pinkoir · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    For those who are utterly tired of WoW and wish not to hear any more about it try reading this link instead. It's about the upcoming "Kali" expansion to CCP's EVE-Online. A game that actually gets better the more you play it. Who could have thought?
