World of Warcraft The Burning Crusade Classic have two new playable races

It was back in 2007 when adventurers from around the world were tasked to go to the Outland and confront the Betrayer Illidan Stormrage. As it turns out, everyone has that chance again this coming June 1 with the release of World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic.

Starting 19 May, you can choose whether to progress your characters to Burning Crusade Classic or continue adventuring in the original WoW® Classic era Boost a character to level 58 with the optional Dark Portal Pass, and enhance your experience with Outland-inspired extras contained in the Burning Crusade Classic Deluxe Edition

New to this expansion are two new playable races – the Blood Elves and Draenei – new starting zones in the Azuremyst Isles and Eversong Woods, and new abilities like soaring and exploring flying mounts in Outland.

For many players who have experienced WoW, the Burning Crusade was the starting point for a good majority of the player base. It also allowed classes to breakout of their pigeonholes and allowed for a great variety of specs to be viable in a raid environment.

As spotted by a few people on Reddit (via PC Gamer), Blizzard's World of Warcraft Classic launcher briefly featured various notices for The Burning Crusade pegging the release date as June 1. Those who were able to witness the apparent leak weren't able to click through to anything, and the ads were quickly pulled, but as a prophetic Jonah Hill foretold in the year of the original Burning Crusade expansion, "people don't forget." Of course, it's possible the release date was just a placeholder, but similar leaks from the past have proven accurate.

In a press statement, Blizzard President J. Allen Brack shared that for many WoW players, the Burning Crusade was but the first step to a big adventure that many of them are still part of today. He added that the Burning Crusade Classic hopes to give players the chance to experience Outland again.

Also starting 19 May, players on Burning Crusade Classic realms will be able to create blood elf and Draenei characters and experience the two races’ new starting zones in the Azuremyst Isles and Eversong Woods, preparing their new heroes for the opening of the Dark Portal on 2 June. From the day of the patch through launch, players will also be able to participate in a limited-time in-game event as demonic agents from beyond the Dark Portal pour into the Blasted Lands and assault key locations across Azeroth.

Those who progress to Burning Crusade Classic will be able to participate in a limited-time in-game event as demonic agents from beyond the Dark Portal pour into the Blasted Lands and assault key locations across Azeroth. Players can also enhance their experience in Outland and purchase the option Deluxe Edition (US$69.99) that includes a character boost, a Phase-Hunter mount with both retail and Classic designs, a special hearthstone, and a Path of Illidan toy.
