Now, before i go ahead and write a review for this certain game you must all know something. I am a World of Warcraft(WoW) addict, and for over a year i had been questing, leveling, and grouping my way to 60; on three separate occasions. Now, with that being said, I was ecstatic to learn of WoW's first expansion pack, The Burning Crusade, which promised new lands, mounts, and races. Within minutes of the game becoming available as a download from the World of Warcraft site, i was eagerly awaiting all that was promised as i watched the download bar slowly progress towards the end.

My initial reaction to the completion of the download was "omfgletsinstallthisrightnowandgetto70". I installed the game as fast as possible, logged onto my account (mmm new green login screen) and decided to log onto my main character. This was it. The moment of truth. As soon as i began moving around i realized that really, nothing had changed. Venturing into outland for the first time is truly a breathtaking (i know...i know) experience, however it begins to feel stale, in a sense that your surroundings never changed for the next three levels.

Graphically speaking WoW:TBC is really more of the same, allowing users with lower end computers to login and enjoy. Why fix what ain't broke, right?

Now, at first i was overwhelmed, however, i am writing this review after playing the game for some time now. Blizzard seems to completely ignore the fact that the game is getting very bland, and another set of armor with a different tint of red but the same visuals isn't acceptable. I really hope that the next expansion, The Wrath of the Lich King, will change all this repetitiveness. Please Blizzard, don't destroy the best series you have ever created.
