Wow: Shadowlands will be 1 year old

Congratulations, Shadow lands. Subsequently, Happy 1st Birthday! World of Warcraft's 8th expansion appeared namely on 23.11.2020. Perhaps Shadow lands will go down as the longest continuous expansion in the history of Blizzard MMO. For the (probably) last patch of the expansion has arrived not even on the PTR. This last almost certainly large patch of add-ons usually runs just long one year.

If our calculations are correct, Shadow lands would replace the previous leader Battle for Zeroth as the longest WoW expansion. Below, we take a look at WoW's expansion and their maturity. By the way, Vanilla WoW the way, was 1,001 days, i.e. almost three years. Here's the pre-release for North America of 208 days already into account. Without this pre-release BFA court would hold the first

3. 8So is Shadow lands for the longest-running WoW expansion

1st place: Battle for Zeroth. 2 years, 3 months, 9 days (832 days in total)

Battle for Zeroth was the conflict between the Horde and Alliance after a long time back to life really and put Sylvan as and Indoor in the foreground of the story. N'Both, emptiness and Queen Asmara played a role during Federal Labor Office. Federal Labor implemented the Azeris Armor feature that did not arrive well at the beginning of the extension. Towards the end of the extension, the developers began to struggle, leaving far behind, resulting in the long term of the expansion with content.

Place the second Mists of Mandarin. 2 years, 1 month, 18 days (778 days in total)

The Panda extension was a controversy already in its announcement. Players were given the impression that WoW would (buy now €14,99) at a time to be cuddly; with the Andean and the new class monk. In addition, there was a departure from the beloved talent trees and switched to a talent matrix. Content Mop offered from the outset enough, maybe even too much content at once. Because in the end we fought final boss Parrish for a year, but with more and more armor upgrades and the introduction of flexible raids and the restructuring of difficulty.

3rd place Rich King. 2 years, 24 days (754 days in total)

The most popular for many players' expansion continues Rich King. During this time WoW celebrated the highest number of subscribers (over ten million). This was probably on the story to the Rich King, the great raids and a new class (Death Knight). The end of the extension, however, withdrew pretty much in the length, but a buff was introduced for the (pre) last raid Ice crown Citadel, the player made more week after week.

ranked 4th Legion. 1 year, 11 months, 14 days (714 days total)

Legion was like offered an also very popular add-on whose content updates were running so smoothly in almost any other expansion and great by the bank raid. Then there was the new class demon hunter. The expansion focused on our special Legendary weapons that have been times longer considered less controversial and times. The implementation of the Mythical-Plus features with us today and Dungeons has given a new meaning in WoW. With the mage tower also another feature reverses the expansion back momentarily. With nearly two-year term went during Legion a lot of time into the country, the last raid An torus would have earned but for a few weeks running, according to many players.

Place 5. The Burning Crusade. 1 year, 9 months, 28 days (667 days in total)

WoW,'s first expansion opened the portal to Outland and inspired the community. Players were able to iconic figures of the WoW Lore as Lillian, Magtheridon and Oil'Jaden ask questions and make a trip into the past in the Caverns of Time. PVP players for the first time had the opportunity to compete in the arena. Blood Elves and Drained brought Horde and Alliance that had previously been exclusively faction were treated (paladins and shaman). Another highlight was the ability to fly, what the developers in hindsight regret anything.

No. 6. Cataclysm. 1 year, 9 months, 18 days (658 days in total)

The revision of the old world and the many new, sometimes very funny and elaborate quests, were the highlight of Cataclysm; At the same time, Hurdler Goblins and Alliance could play worship. For the first time, players were able to face evaluated battlefields in this extension. Three factors make Cataclysm back as a very bad extension in the heads of the players: the introduction of the LFR, the disappointing last RAID dragon soul and the big footsteps of Would.

Place 7. Warlords of Drano. 1 year, 9 months, 17 days (656 days old)

Only one day younger has become Warlords of Drano. The journey into an alternative timeline was well-received despite the difficulties and disappointments with the garrison feature. In the course of the extension, it lacked the front and back of content. The first big patch was the only genuine feature a Twitter connection for screenshots, a last big patch was missing completely. Thus, the add-on was with the greatest potential and with a big patch may have become one of the most popular WoW extensions of all time. In reality, the extensions of the warlords is now only mentioned as an example of too little content.

So Shadow lands becomes the longest running WoW extension

The bill is simple. To beat are the 2 years, 3 months and 9 days from BFA. Shadow lands appeared on 23.11.2020. To beat BFA for a day runtime, Shadow lands should run until 6.3.2023.

Suppose Patch 9.2 appears in February 2022 and this last update then runs like Mop, Would a little more than a year, it could create Shadow lands. The speed with which the data from PTR for Patch 9.2 of Datamyne are brought to the daylight, release a release for January or February 2022 very realistic. That patch 9.2 will be active in 13 to 14 months sounds, now, but still a bit unlikely.
