In conclusion, the first expansion for World of Warcraft is a massive success as can be seen in the sales records it broke after release. The servers were remarkably stable considering, and Blizzard has tried very hard to minimize the impact on its players. Even server queues have been minimised because of the free player transfers Blizzard used to lower the populations of popular servers. It is hard to find any real criticisms and everything feels polished, but it obviously isn't perfect. I averaged about 10-15 hours to gain a level by the time I hit 70 which is quite a long time if you can only manage a few hours here and there to play. But with the rest XP these players will get, they will find it easier to level in the long run. The instance wings and shorter raids are also designed and built around the casual player which gives those with less time to devote to the game a chance to acquire epic quality items.
