Dear Chinese players,

Happy year of the Golden Pig! I am Shane Dabiri, the Lead Producer of World of Warcraft and I want to send warm greetings from the WoW development team to our Chinese WoW players and Blizzard gamers. Happy New Year everyone!

We know our players have high expectation for The Burning Crusade and we are working hard to launch the expansion in China as soon as possible; there is still a lot of preparation work such as localization and realm hardware upgrades that need to be completed first. These preparations are being made to ensure a smooth launch and seamless transition period for our players.

In the meantime, our players can expect to see new information and updates about The Burning Crusade on the official WoWChina.com website. We’re very excited to bring The Burning Crusade to the Chinese public in conjunction with The9, and we want to share some insight into the development team.

Once again, Happy New Year from myself and the entire development team!

Shane Dabiri,
Lead Producer, World of Warcraft
