World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Buying Guide

World of Warcraft: Warlods of Draenor released today and while there are many of you who will be stuck inside the game for the next few weeks – possibly months – some of you might still be wondering how to get the most out of your purchase. Blizzard reiterated some incentives for you to buy in to the game:

• Explore a Savage World: Explore the hostile world of Draenor, home of the orc and draenei races, as it once existed, and adventure in all-new zones alongside characters central to Warcraft history.
• Build Your Garrison: Establish and expand your own customizable stronghold on Draenor, and gather NPC followers to collect resources and embark on missions under your command.
• Jump to Level 90: Boost one character of your choosing to be instantly ready to explore the wilds of Draenor, making it easier than ever to enjoy the latest content with your friends.^*
• Adventure to Level 100: Reach new heights of power and unlock bonuses to further enhance your abilities on your way to the new level cap of 100.
• …And More: Take on an array of Dungeons, Raids, and Challenge Modes; seek out otherworldly pets and mounts to add to your collection; engage in exciting world PvP in Ashran—no matter what kind of content you enjoy, new challenges and rewards await.

If the normal version of the game wasn't enough, then maybe you'd be interested in the Digital Deluxe Edition. This version of the game will run you about $69.99, but has a number of different features unavailable to those who bought into the $49.99 standard edition:

• World of Warcraft—Dread Raven Mount and Dread Hatchling Pet: Swoop down from the dark of night on the black-winged Dread Raven, a mortal progeny of Anzu, and devour your prey in your next Pet Battle with the adorably ferocious Dread Hatchling.
• StarCraft II—Warchief Portraits: Summon the strength of two of the most fearsome Iron Horde warchiefs—Grommash Hellscream and Blackhand—as you clash in the Koprulu sector in StarCraft II.
• Diablo III—Warsong Pennant: Brandish this battle-torn pennant on your back, and channel the rage of the Warsong Clan against the demonic forces of Sanctuary in Diablo III.
• Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft—Blackrock Card Back: Outfit your champion’s deck with a custom card back forged in the fires of Blackrock.

There's also a Collector's Edition that costs $89.99. This will cost you $89.99 and comes with a full-color hardcover art book, a behind-the-scenes two-disc Blu-ray/DVD set, a CD soundtrack, and a Warlords of Draenor mouse pad. These are all packaged alongside the digital content from the Digital Deluxe Edition.

If all this wasn't enough, every version of the game comes equipped with a free level 90 character boost. This should prove to be a huge win for those of you who have been estranged from the World of Warcraft family.
