With Mists Of Pandaria, Blizzard expanded World Of Warcraft to the point where it encompassed every continent and otherworldly territory referenced in the trilogy of strategy games that preceded it. Azeroth is, in a word, done, but the work of expanding the world’s most enduringly popular MMOG is not.Blizzard’s pitch for Warlords Of Draenor is rather conservative. The expansion adds a new continent and extends the level cap, but there are no new races or classes. Instead, all of the original WOW races will be receiving a visual upgrade, part of an extensive reworking of the game’s engine that suggests Blizzard is thinking about the future, but is doing so, tellingly, by looking at the past.In WOW’s 5.4 patch, players defeated rogue Horde chief Garrosh Hellscream and dragged him away to answer for his crimes. In the events leading up to Warlords, he’ll escape and, with the help of a time-travelling ally, head to the orc homeworld of Draenor in the years before the events of Warcraft: Orcs & Humans. His mission: to prevent the orcs from becoming corrupted and invading Azeroth. Then he plans to shape them into his own Iron Horde and invade Azeroth anyway.
