There is something basic that we all look at when playing any title: if our computer can support it. We always have to take into account the minimum and recommended requirements in order to have the best possible gaming experience.
The minimum requirements are the ones that show you the way: you have to get here to be able to play. Below this, you could have a disastrous experience. The recommended aspects, on the other hand, help us to further improve the experience. It is the way in which it is indicated how to play to another level.
While ‘World of Warcraft Classic’ (or ‘WoW Classic’) is not a demanding MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Video Game), it also has its minimum requirements and recommended specifications.

‘World of Warcraft Classic’ expansions: the arrival of ‘Burning Crusade’
For many, entering the Blizzard MMO as a newbie had become insane. Too many expansions, too many events, and so many mechanics that it was impossible to understand. Only the most veteran managed to be comfortable in ‘World of Warcraft’. Still, many of them weren’t comfortable with the game he had become.
For all of them, newbies and veterans, Blizzard decided to launch ‘WoW Classic’ and relive the experience of the past. This was launched in August 2019 and allowed fans to play ‘WoW’ as it was played in the beginning.
Two years later, the time has come to welcome the game’s first expansion, which is also one of the most iconic. The classic version finally receives ‘The Burning Crusade’, originally launched in 2007. This expansion, one of the most iconic, brings us news (although not so new). On the one hand, the inclusion of two new races that are essential in the standard version: draenei and the blood elves. In addition to a new continent, Terrallende.
As it did at the time, ‘The Burning Crusade’ also serves to expand the maximum level of ‘WoW Classic’, now with the limit at level 70. It will also bring us the confrontation with a character feared and loved by many: Illidan Tempestira.
