World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade is the first expansion pack for the popular MMORPG World of Warcraft. It was released on January 16, 2007 at midnight in Europe, United States and Canada, and sold nearly 2.4 million copies that day, making it the fastest-selling PC game in those regions .A new battleground, Eye of the Storm, is included with two brackets: Levels 61-69, and level 70. However even though this battleground is made for 70's the usage of flying mounts is not permitted. As the mimimum level is 61 only players with the expansion pack may participate in this battleground.
In addition, a new PvP Arena System was introduced, a way for players to fight in 2 vs. 2, 3 vs 3, or 5 vs. 5 battles. While the arena system allows people without Burning Crusade to participate in matches, people without the expansion would not be able to participate in Ladder matches which yield rewards. Both the Alliance and the Horde have received a new playable race. These new races changed faction dynamics by providing each faction access to all player classes in the game. These races are the Draenei (who can now play Shamans) and the Blood Elves (who can now play Paladins).
