So looks like Through the Dark Portal is simply broken for the moment, not removed. I put in a ticket with Blizz to find out whats going on with this nonsense. Why remove the breadcrumb quest that already existed in this zone? Why remove this quest? The "Warcheif's Command" board version still exists - but that would mean a trip all the way to Orgimmar and back. A trip to the Dark Portal, and nope - that quest is still not available. A few hours later, all quests in Blasted Lands completed, and my char is left stranded in a Blood Elf encampment, wondering where to go next. I figured maybe they linked it as a needing a pre-requisite, as they wanted players to check out what they'd done with the place.īut nope. Heading to portal, I found that the above quest was not available. But it'll have better functionality so you can find people to group with a bit easier.My char got redirected from Silithus (which, after you run through all the available quest-line, simply dies without continuation) to head for Blasted Lands, which I assumed was for reasons of the Dark Portal. Don't worry, it won't feature automated matchmaking like the Dungeon Finder does in modern WoW.
So while it'll largely be the Burning Crusade you remember from 2007, some things will be different. While WoW Classic was originally a faithful remake of 2006-era WoW, Burning Crusade Classic is making some improvements to try and cater toward a more modern audience.
(Image credit: Blizzard) You mentioned Blizzard is also making changes? It'll essentially just be a carbon copy of your original character. Blizzard has also confirmed that, for a fee, you can clone a character so you can play it both on WoW Classic and Burning Crusade Classic servers. All the current WoW Classic servers will continue onto the Burning Crusade, while players who want to stay with Classic will be moved over to a new set of vanilla servers where they can continue playing WoW Classic. When Burning Crusade Classic launches later this year, every player will decide if they want to continue onto The Burning Crusade era or stay in the Classic era, where the level cap is 60. It's your choice which one you want to play on. See, Burning Crusade Classic and WoW Classic (which recreates WoW as it existed in 2006) will actually be two separate games. This is where it gets slightly complicated. So how does this work? What if I like WoW Classic? Horde players can play paladins and Alliance players can play shamans.A much more focused PVP experience with the addition of arenas.A whole new continent to explore with some gorgeous and memorable areas.But if you're already playing WoW Classic and having fun, Burning Crusade Classic is going to be amazing. Classic is about stepping back in time, and, just like WoW Classic, many of Burning Crusade's rough edges will be what people love the most about it. It's a very different game to modern WoW, but it also does a much better job of forcing players to socialize and cooperate. Like Classic, it's a relic of a different time when MMOs were a lot less accessible and a lot more demanding of your spare time.
WoW Classic has been both an interesting social experiment and a showcase for how to return to a property with its playerbase prioritized first the latter being demonstrated in the preservation of all the warts and relics of game design that. By today's standards, I'd actually rate The Burning Crusade as WoW's worst expansion. World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic is the first expansion for Blizzard's nostalgic return to the early days of its innovative fantasy MMORPG. The Burning Crusade was WoW's first-ever expansion, so obviously that's a big deal. World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade (abbreviated as TBC or BC) is the first expansion for World of Warcraft. So, what's the deal with The Burning Crusade?
