The first World of Warcraft expansion, The Burning Crusade, was released on Wednesday. For those who don’t know what an expansion is, in computer game terms, it refers to a release of new content or features that substantially adds to a game. (Wikipedia also has a definition.)
Even though neither of us has been playing much WoW lately (Morgan, if you’re looking at the screenshot, yes, Tatanka is still level 17), we couldn’t resist and had to get ourselves each a copy of the expansion. There has been so much talk and anticipation that I guess I had to take a look. So I now have a level 8 Blood Elf Paladin named Ingmar (not a very elfy name but I wasn’t feeling very inspired when I made him). A male character because I have discovered that this is the easiest way to avoid stupid comments about boobies from teenaged boys.
It’s quite challenging to play in the new areas at the moment, because there are so many other players all trying to do the same quests. No doubt there are far more new Blood Elves around than there are Draenai (the other new race) – why are elves always so popular? I did also make a Draenai – Drogheda – but I think I will reroll a male character even though I like her name.

Testing. *Sigh*
