World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Interview

CVG was able to track down Blizzard Entertainment VP of project development Frank Pearce for a quick Q&A about their upcoming World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expansion pack.

Q: Why did you decide not to introduce any brand new classes in The Burning Crusade?

A: Well, it wasn’t so much a factor of what we decided not to do, as where we decided to draw the line and say ‘This is more than enough’. Two new player races, 13 exterior zones, at least seven dungeon instances, the PvP arena system, outdoor PvP objectives – not to mention the items and the functionality that’s just taken for granted and all the new talents and spells and thousands of items and gear on top of that. Our hope is that we chose to draw the line at the right point.
