WoW Classic rumoured to get The Burning Crusade expansion this year

To cap off 2020, Blizzard released the Naxxramas raid for WoW Classic, setting things up for The Burning Crusade expansion to be introduced sometime in 2021. One notable WoW YouTuber, Staysafe TV, recently claimed to have leaked details from a “trusted source”.To get more news about buying gold classic wow, you can visit lootwowgold official website.

According to the source, WoW Classic’s Burning Crusade expansion update should be announced at BlizzCon, with a beta beginning shortly after, followed by a pre-patch in April and then a full release as early as May 2021.

Given that much of the WoW team has been focussed on the Shadowlands expansion in 2020 though, these early date estimates might be a bit optimistic. Either way though, we should keep our eyes on BlizzCon Online for official announcements from Blizzard – the event takes place between the 19th and 20th of February.
Without getting into the massive shift in raid composition meta from Classic to The Burning Crusade, which we will cover in another article, players can expect to see Blood Elf Paladins and Draenei Shamans everywhere and rather soon into the expansion content with guilds boosting the “new” class to get their precious raid buff utility. Now that each faction has access to all available classes, we will no longer see the unique raid compositions used by Alliance or Horde, though this was also the case during the original release of the game as well.

While we can speculate about ideal raid compositions in The Burning Crusade, this will largely depend on what patch of the expansion players receive. The early Heroic dungeons and raids were exceedingly difficult and finely tuned compared to Classic, so while right now guilds can bring basically whichever classes they want to clear raids, The Burning Crusade may require far more min/maxing to achieve the same results.

How Blizzard decides to roll out The Burning Crusade also needs to consider the aggressive way that players treat the economy compared to the original game. With the knowledge of exactly what items are needed in Classic by top guilds during every Phase, players have dominated the economy in ways that have not always been healthy for casual players, such as with the Black Lotus Mafia, which readers can click here to learn about.

The Burning Crusade would be no different. For example, we already know that Jewelcrafting will be the “new” profession added to the game, and in preparation, players are already stock piling ore to max out the skill in little time and sell in the Auction House. Unlike the original game, players will enter the The Burning Crusade with huge amounts, and this may be one reason that Blizzard is considering making players start new characters at level 1 or 58 on new servers, armed with all the information they need about what to do in the endgame, but with the playing field more even for casual or newer players who are only starting with the next expansion.
