History

Historical Context

In January 2007 Blizzard released the Burning Crusade expansion, adding flying mounts that opened new travel routes and reshaped the in-game economy. WoW’s history of expansion-driven features—such as the 2015 $10 battle-pet sales that generated more than $1.7 million for charity—shows a pattern of content updates fueling player engagement and revenue, and set a precedent for later titles.
