A few questions about the expansion

[Corporal Robinson]

Ok, first and most important, will I have to pay for it, or will it be a giant patch to download for those who own WoW??

Second, what classes are for the Draiena and Blood Elves? If you don't know all of them, name some, or at least make a good prediction.

Lastly, how many new instances are they and what are they called and what's the leveling?

Thanks!

Everything available can be found quickly at the official site and forums. Go take a peek.

[Corporal Robinson]

Nope. I looked on the site and it said....

An increase in the level cap to 70
Two new playable races: Blood Elves & Draenei
The entire new continent of Outland
New flying mounts in Outland
Many new zones and high-level dungeons
Hundreds of new monsters, quests, and items
A new profession: Jewelcrafting
Socketed items

Now please let me know.

It also had a FAQ button, which could have told you everything it could - not much, but that's most of the info out there.

Regardless:

1) It's an expansion pack, not a patch. It'll cost money.

2) They might change it, but I belive a dev said mage, warlock, rogue, warrior for blood elf, and warrior, paladin, mage, priest for draeni. Might be one or two more.

3) Only 2 known instances at this point - Hellfire Citadel (varied levels, 60-70) and Karazhan (level 70 mini-raid). Might be more they have planned. (EDIT - Actually they stated Illidan will be an ultimate raid target, so presume at least one other major-raid dungeon.)

Thanks! :)

I just don't understand why people can't click a little deeper into a site and read.
Essentially you just said, "I don't feel like takeing a minute to look it up, I'd rather take a minute to wait for you people to post it too me."
There are a couple threads already that go into detail on the expansion in these forums.

Blood Elves have Priests as well, and Draenei have Hunters.
I concur...

[rgirty]

I can't wait until 50% of the NE hunter population goes horde and makes blood elves... oh it is going to be great. I can just see it now. Endless chuck norris jokes from char's that don't group. The deadmines will be the new hangout.

If you continue to play WoW past the expansion, but don't buy the expansion then there will be an accompanying patch to download. This will contain the graphics for new items, races etc. You'll be able to continue playing on the same server, see the new races, party with them etc. You won't be able to create a Blood Elf or Draenai. It's possiblethat you won't be able to learn jewelcrafting. You definitely won't be able to go to Outland or zone in to the new instances.

or try www.wowwiki.com this place has a ton of info and is very easy to find. they even have the base starting stats for the blood elves.

also, there is a spot on the left side...most popular pages, tons of info there as well

[goat song]

If you don't buy the expansion, will you be able to level to 70?

[Cthonctic]

No.

Expansion owners will be the only ones who get to:
- level above 60
- roll blood elves and draenei characters
- learn jewelcrafting
- have access to Outland

All the rest, meaning using jewelcrafted items by other players, quests and such will be most certainly available to players witout the expansion courtesy of stuff we download in the normal patches in preparation.

Cheers.

That's the only GOOD thing about Blood Elves. Orgrimmar will be flooded with 10,000 variations of the name "Legolas", and almost all of those 10,000 are gonna be B.net kiddies. Have fun Horde! Have fun in WSG dealing with kiddies who run around like idiots and don't listen!

[IamOrc]

God help us when that one happens. God help the Horde.

Will we get 10 more talent points?

[Loriel]

Yes, you will get 1 more talent point for each level beyond 60, for a new total of 61. The talent trees for expansion players will get one more tier in which to put those talents - supposedly a straight extension on the existing trees. Expect many new combinations of talents, like 40/21, 41/20, 21/20/20 etc.
