<p>Well, looks like <em>World of Warcraft </em>went and increased its value proposition just in time for its next expansion to arrive at the end of August. The previous expansion pack, <em>Warlords of Draenor</em>, is now included in the base game of <em>World of Warcraft</em>. That means players who subscribe to <em>World of Warcraft </em>will now get five expansion packs included in their purchase, with the only one requiring money being <em>Legion</em>, which is not available yet.</p>
<p>As <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/4jt6rs/warlords_of_draenor_now_part_of_base_game/">noticed by a Reddit user</a> and then confirmed by Blizzard Customer Support, <em>Warlords of Draenor </em>has been pulled from retailers&#8217; shelves, including Battle.net. If you have a redemption code for <em>Warlords of Draenor </em>that was purchased physically, you should reach out to Blizzard <a href="https://us.battle.net/support/en/help/product/wow/181/184/solution?utm_source=External-Reddit&;utm_medium=Posting&;utm_campaign=BlizzardCS&;utm_content=contact">via their customer support</a>. Purchasing the starter edition of <em>World of Warcraft </em>will provide all players who do so with a level 90 boost so they can partake in <em>Warlords of Draenor</em>&#8216;s content. The level cap was raised to 100 when the expansion released.</p>
<p><em>World of Warcraft </em>still has one of the healthiest communities for an MMORPG today, but it reported its <a href="http://www.polygon.com/2015/11/3/9666048/world-of-warcraft-subscriptions-active-numbers-million">lowest subscriber base back in November 2015</a> and announced it would not be reporting subscriber numbers again. The game is set to see <em>Legion</em>, its sixth expansion pack, be released on August 30th.</p>
