The Burning Crusade Expansion Portal

The Burning Crusade is Blizzard’s first retail expansion for their infamous World of Warcraft. Including two new races, flying mounts, a new profession, an entire new continent full of content, and so much more.

It is currently retailing between $39.99 USD and $49.99 USD and is available at most online and offline video game retailers. The collectors edition, a very hard to find item, retails at around $70 USD. The Burning Crusade DOES require an original World of Warcraft active account in order to play. There are no additional subscription fees.
