Expansions

[Thunder101]

If one want to start the game, will it be ok if you buy the original and then start playing. Or do you need the expansions as well. I see except for the latest TBC there is also Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne Expansion Pack, WARCRAFT III - REIGN OF CHAOS. Are these all part of WOW or is this a seperate game?

Warcraft III is a different game

Warcraft III is a strategy game developed by Blizzard and is not an online game. Closest it gets to that is when you play it over a LAN. Warcraft III reign of Chaos was the original and Frozen Throne the expansion pack. As far as WOW is concerned you do not need the expansion pack (The Burning Crusade) to be able to play. You can play WOW with just the original. Not having the expansion will just limit you in that you wont be able to go into Outlands or make a blood elf character on the Horde side or a Dranaien (spelling) on the Alliance side. Your character also needs to be lvl 58 plus to get into Outlands anyway (unless someone summons you)
