Kil'jaeden Dead, Burning Crusade Ends, Everyone Moves On
Well it's over, ladies and gentlemen. European World of Warcraft guild SK Gaming has downed the final boss of the Sunwell Plateau update, Kil'Jaeden, bringing to a close the events that led to the Dark Portal opening in the first place. Everyone is now instructed to head on home and keep an ear out just in case they discover some long-lost continent to the North of the two main Azerothian continents. More »

Clip: WoW Black Temple Trailer
The Black Temple is rising soon in Outland, finally bringing with it the enemy used to advertise January's Burning Crusade expansion in the first place, Illiadan brother to Malfurion and betrayer of the Night Elves. While you really have to read some of the novels to get the full effect, the chills I get watching this trailer are only curbed by the knowledge that I will never, ever have the time to be in a guild that can even face him, let alone take him down.

Burning Crusade Levels Vivendi Sales
When you release a nigh-essential expansion for a game that boasts around 8 million players, and you're going to make a tidy bit of cash. Perhaps the next World of Warcraft expansion won't take nearly as long to come out now that Vivendi's games division has reported a 117% rise in revenues for the first quarter of 2007 over last year, amounting to a whopping $394 million.

Toto, I Don't Think We're In Azeroth Anymore!
The folks over at Blizzplanet have stumbled on the latest bit of cheeky pop culture humor the Blizzard has hidden away in Warcraft's latest and greatest expansion, The Burning Crusade. Deep in the heart of the Karazhan Dungeon lies an Opera Hall with it's own special easter egg surprise in the form of a stage performance of The Wizard of Oz. Although the names of the characters have been changed to protect the innocent (and avoid copyright infringement), the dialogue and loot such as the Wicked Witch's Hat and the Ruby Slippers are a dead giveaways.

The9 Brings China The Burning Crusade
So here we are, most of the civilized world, already getting tired of seeing Blood Elves spinning nonsensically about Orgrimmar, and China has yet to see one mailbox dancing Paladin in any of their Horde cities. Luckily for them, Blizzard has once again come to an agreement with Chinese online game operator The9 (not to be confused with ABC's complex character-based drama series) to bring the Burning Crusade to China's 3.5 million WoW players, a number I assume doesn't count the thousands of Chinese that have already imported the game and constantly send me random gold pricing information.

Burning Crusade Shatters Sales Records
In news that should come as no surprise to anyone, Blizzard has announced that their Burning Crusade expansion pack has become the fastest selling PC game ever in North America and Europe. Within the first 24 hours of release, nearly 2.4 million copies were sold around the world, with close to 1.2 million sold in North America and over 1.1 million sold in Europe. By the end of launch day 1.7 million accounts had already been upgraded. More »

First Level 70 WoW Character
So, it's going to take as long to level between 60-70 in The Burning Crusade as it does from 1-60? Apparently that statement, being bandied about World of Warcraft forums and in-game chat was a little off the mark, as one server in Europe already has a level 70 character. A gnome mage by the name of Gawell of the Millenium guild on Europe's Archimonde server hit level new level cap a mere 28 hours after the expansion launched. A Frenchman, the player and his guild planned out the leveling rush step by step, rotating party members in and out based on where and what they were fighting. More »

GameStop Midnight Burning Crusade Launch
At 11pm on Burning Crusade launch night, my girlfriend and I pull into the parking lot of the GameStop in Alpharetta Georgia to find at least 30 other people were already in one line, with another line going on inside the store. Seeing a few familiar faces I offer a cheery greeting.

The Blizzard Chocobo Scandal
I'm finding the cries of Chocobo Plagiarism coming from Burning Crusade beta testers a little bit hard to swallow. On the left, note a Chocobo... I assume from Final Fantasy XII. On the right, a beefy, testosterone-infused cockatrice, the Blood Elf race's new mount. More » -

World of Warcraft Finally Gets A Decent Group Finder
You can tell the current obsessions of Kotaku writers by whatever subject they slavishly follow. For Crecente? It's Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Ashcraft? Spelling console names in Capital Letters. Eliza, of course, posts mostly about Playboy editorials she disagrees with. And me? World of Warcraft. More »

EB Lists WoW Expansion
For what it's worth (which may not be much, considering sister site Gamestop lists Halo 3's release date as Oct. 3, 2006), EB Games is listing Blizzard's WoW expansion Expansion with a July 1 release date. The really interesting part, however is the alleged price tag. The Burning Crusade is listed at $40. Ouch. I hope the amount of content scales with the retail sticker. More »
