- DirectorJB BlancStarsAaron PhillipsAbraham BenrubiAbigail WahlEighth expansion set for "World of Warcraft (2005)". Sylvanas Windrunner opens a rift to the Shadowlands, realm of the dead. Dark figures kidnap Anduin Wrynn, Baine Bloodhoof and Jaina Proudmoore and hold them in the maze-like tower Torghast.Legacy: Level squish (hated!), making previous expansions useless to go through, item squish.
- Fifth expansion set for "World of Warcraft (2005)", taking place in an alternate universe on the world of Draenor prior to its destruction. When a key element in the Horde's history is changed, an alternate timeline is created.Legacy: Garrisons, lack of content. Did start Timewalking, which I love.
- Fourth expansion set for "World of Warcraft (2005)". After a naval skirmish the Alliance and the Horde are washed ashore on the island of Pandaria. As both factions establish footholds on the continent, they make contact with the noble pandaren.Legacy: Pandas and Monks (loved monks at first), Gave you all abilities (No buying them). Added area loot, shared mounts and achievements and heirlooms (loved). LFR changes I loved. Totally changed talents, which I hated!
- StarsAaron PhillipsAmy WalkerAndrew RussellUpcoming tenth expansion set for "World of Warcraft (2005)" and part of a new Worldsoul Saga trilogy led by original "Warcraft" designer Chris Metzen. The War Within delves into a new subterranean realm called Khaz Algar within Azeroth.Just started but I like it so far.
- DirectorIon HazzikostasStarsAaron PhillipsAbby CradenAbraham BenrubiNinth expansion set for "World of Warcraft (2005)" in which a new feature called Dragonriding is introduced, allowing players to raise and customize a dragon in a new land called The Dragon Isles where the race of the Dracthyr lives.Legacy: Dragonflight, redid talent trees very complicated(too much). Dracthyrs (don't like). Easy leveling to 70. No MacGuffin that you have to get, unlike the previous few expansions. Added Trading post (Meh..) Hate LFR changes.
- DirectorMarc MessengerTerran GregoryJeffrey KaplanStarsMichele Marie ArkoTracy W. BushGrant GeorgeFirst entry in the MMORPG series. Four years have passed since the mortal races stood together against the might of the Burning Legion. Peace is fading. The lands of the world of Azeroth have once again become host to a World of Warcraft.Legacy: The original had GREAT timing and added mounts and instances to gaming. Death also didn't mean much, unlike other games. It also added factions and rested exp. It also took the best from previous Blizzard games. It was an easier version of harder games. Nostalgia makes it better than it was.
- First expansion set for "World of Warcraft (2005)". The Doom Lord Kazzak reopens the Dark Portal to Outland, flooding Azeroth with the ravenous demons of the Burning Legion.Legacy: First expansion, Heroic dungeons, 10-25 man raids, Rep grinds from hell, Attunements. Also Draenei and Blood Elves. Shaman on Ally and Pallies on Horde. Also started flying. Also had group finder and JC.
- Third expansion set for "World of Warcraft (2005)" in which the evil dragon aspect Deathwing the Destroyer returns from the elemental plane of Deepholm which causes a sweeping cataclysm that reshapes much of the world's surface.Legacy: Raid Finder (Loved!), redid the world, Quests in instances (Loved!). Transmog, reforging. Also Goblins (loved) and Worgen, more class choices, improved lfd tool (loved) Also disliked at first but then loved the hunter changes. Also added flying in the old world, which I loved. Redid Orgrimarr. Underrated expansion.
- DirectorAlex AfrasiabiIon HazzikostasChris RobinsonStarsAbigail MarloweAbraham BenrubiAbubakar SalimSeventh expansion set for "World of Warcraft (2005)". A new conflict erupts between the Alliance and the Horde causing Teldrassil to be burnt down by the Horde and the Forsaken capital of the Undercity to be controlled by the Alliance.Legacy: Burning of Darnassus, Undercity gassed. Hating on Sylvanas. Timewalking to level up was nice. Added too many races with no starting zones (hated). Loved the AH Overhaul though. Hated the story and ending. Loved going through all the expansions at least one last time before the level squish. Underrated expansion.
- DirectorTom ChiltonStarsAaron PhillipsAbraham BenrubiAdam GiffordSixth expansion set for "World of Warcraft (2005)". Following the defeat of Archimonde an alternate timeline Draenor, the orc warlock Gul'dan is transported to the main timeline Azeroth and possesses the body of Illidan Stormrage.Legacy: Difficult dungeons and heroics. Hated the artifact. Didn't mind Heirloom squish, stat squish. Demon Hunters were cool. LFR seemed more epic. Videos were awesome. Also readded a new Dalaran, which I loved.
- DirectorIon HazzikostasStarsMichael McConnohieWorld of Warcraft Classic is a faithful recreation of the original WoW experience, as it was in 2006. From combat mechanics and talent trees, to character models and zone layouts has been restored to realize a truly authentic experience.Legacy: So many millions asking for it, so much hype. Was let down big time after I realized it was just nostalgia. However it led to much better things, especially Wrath again and Cataclysm! Love going through all the expansions!
- Second expansion set for "World of Warcraft (2005)". In the wake of the Sunwell's purification, Warchief Thrall deploys an expedition force to Northrend led by Overlord Garrosh Hellscream to stop the assault of the undead Scourge.Legacy: Dungeon Finder (Loved!), last before the world changed, DKs, Achievements, easier leveling, Heroic raids, Heirlooms, 10-25 changed, could also tame t-rexes and corehounds. Got rid of attunements. This will always be the best Warcraft game thanks to nostalgia.
