World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade<\/em> was for a long time the primary topic of discussion among\u00a0Classic<\/em> fans. When the expansion was initially released a new wave of players entered Azeroth, raising the player base to new heights and making\u00a0World of Warcraft<\/em> a truly household name.<\/p>\n

Blizzcon 2021 confirmed that\u00a0The Burning Crusade<\/em> will be the next major content release for\u00a0Classic<\/em>, arriving later in the year for all players with a basic subscription. While some fans are excited to explore Outland, some are concerned that Blizzard won’t do\u00a0enough to preserve the original experience.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Keep: Vanilla Servers<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

World of Warcraft Classic\u00a0<\/em>was a welcome surprise on launch \u2013 for many players,\u00a0the 2004 version of the game is the ultimate way to experience\u00a0World of Warcraft<\/em>. In the expansion, players will have the option to stay with their server<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0The Burning Crusade<\/em> or transfer\u00a0(for free) to dedicated\u00a0Classic<\/em> servers.<\/p>\n

This is a great way to preserve the original game for those who don’t particularly care for Outland while still expanding the game for those who have done everything on offer in\u00a0Classic.<\/em><\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Change: Multiboxers<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One of the most obvious problems with\u00a0Classic<\/em> is multiboxers. When questing, players might come across a group of\u00a0characters<\/a> all eerily jumping, attacking, and emoting at the exact same time. Multiboxers run multiple versions of the game and tie each character’s movements and actions to the same keyboard.<\/p>\n

Multiboxers are infamous for\u00a0ruining the questing experience for other players and “cheating” the game’s progression system \u2013 while not technically against the World of Warcraft\u00a0<\/em>TOS,\u00a0Blizzard needs to systematically\u00a0prevent\u00a0this, especially when\u00a0Outland quests are so dense compared to Azeroth.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Keep: Heroic Dungeons<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While heroic dungeons\u00a0are an iconic part of\u00a0World of Warcraft<\/em>, they were actually added in\u00a0The Burning Crusade<\/em>. Dungeons were all a set difficulty before, with some dungeons being harder just due to the layout or density of mobs.<\/p>\n

All dungeons added in\u00a0The Burning Crusade Classic<\/em> will have a normal and heroic difficulty option. The fights will be much harder, but the upgraded loot will make it well worthwhile<\/a>.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Change: Class Balance<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Class balance in\u00a0The Burning Crusade<\/em> upon release was… bad, to say the least. Rogues and Warriors especially got the short end of the stick, as they just could not keep up in DPS with any other class \u2013 at least Warriors had the option to tank instead, while Rogues just suffered<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Blizzard released\u00a0Classic<\/em> with a number of fixes to each class based on the 1.12 balancing update, and should replicate that process in some form for\u00a0The Burning Crusade<\/em> so no-one falls behind solely based on class.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Keep: Phased Patch Releases<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One of the highlights of\u00a0World of Warcraft<\/em> is that not all content is available to players initially. When\u00a0Classic<\/em> launched dungeons like Mauradon and Dire Maul\u00a0and raids such as\u00a0Blackwing Lair and Naxxramas were slated for release once a number of players had reached that point in the game.<\/p>\n

This helps servers because it encourages players to keep coming back and makes ancient content feel fresh and exciting again. When\u00a0The Burning Crusade Classic<\/em> launches<\/a>, The Black Temple and Sunwell Plateau should not be speedrun and should be locked behind timed patches.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Change:\u00a0Bugs and Exploits<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Being such an old game certainly has its downsides.\u00a0The Burning Crusade<\/em>\u00a0was Blizzard’s first expansion for World of Warcraft<\/em> and\u00a0it’s evident that the team was still getting used to coding for such a massive, interconnected world.<\/p>\n

Blizzard did a pretty decent job of fixing the 17-year-old game for\u00a0Classic<\/em>‘s launch\u00a0without breaking the unique feel of the original game. While the #nochanges players will gripe, class imbalance was a major problem on\u00a0the expansion’s initial\u00a0release and\u00a0The Burning Crusade Classic<\/em> needs to ship with similar fixes.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Keep: Raid Difficulty (With Some Caveats)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Raid difficulty in\u00a0The Burning Crusade<\/em> spiked compared to\u00a0Vanilla\u00a0World of Warcraft<\/em>. Suddenly, bosses had a host of tools at their disposal, and some of the most difficult bosses of all time were from\u00a0The Burning Crusade<\/em> raids.\u00a0Kael’Thas Sunstrider, for example, took\u00a0four months<\/strong> to fall after the expansion came out.<\/p>\n

While difficult raid bosses make the game far more interesting, some bosses were deemed near-impossible due to bugs. Blizzard should maintain raid and heroic dungeon difficulty but address the issues that led to such overwhelming odds.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Change: Broken Addon Support<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While addons such as Questie, Spy, and others make the game much easier to play, many fans believe they ruin the experience.\u00a0World of Warcraft<\/em> was unique in that it fostered a sense of community by forcing\u00a0players to talk to each other for\u00a0guidance and knowledge.<\/p>\n

RELATED: World of Warcraft Classic: All The Best Addons<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

There is no way to erase all the knowledge on the internet about\u00a0The Burning Crusade<\/em>, no way to ensure players don’t just look up the solution to a problem on forums from 2006. But Blizzard should curb support of game-changing mods such as these to preserve the original, difficult experience as much as possible.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Keep: Difficult Flying Requirements<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

For players returning to\u00a0Classic<\/em> from\u00a0Shadowlands<\/em>, buying a mount is a much, much different experience. Gold is not just given out to players<\/a> in\u00a0Classic<\/em> as it is in retail\u00a0World of Warcraft<\/em>. Flying mounts in The Burning Crusade\u00a0<\/em>are a reward for dedication to the game over a long period of time.<\/p>\n

The price is steep, too \u2013 initial flying training costs 800 gold, normal mounts are 100 gold while epic, faster mounts are 200, and the training to ride those epic mounts costs a staggering 5000 gold. It might take a long time to save up, but proper use of the auction house will aid this endeavor.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Change:\u00a0Horde Favoritism<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In the initial release of\u00a0The Burning Crusade,<\/em> there was a\u00a0serious<\/em> faction imbalance, favoring the Horde. Not only did the Horde get specialty abilities and items, like the Seal of Blood, that were strictly better than their Alliance counterparts, they also had Blood Elves.<\/p>\n

Blood Elves, unique to the horde for being the only non-“monster” race, were hugely popular upon\u00a0The Burning Crusade<\/em>‘s initial release. Some have suggested faction queues to maintain a 50\/50 balance on every server, but ultimately it will be up to Blizzard to combat the popularity<\/a> of these… beautiful… illustrious… elven members of the Horde.<\/p>\n
