WoW Expansions From Worst to Best: All in One Ranking

1-9

Kim Berkemeyer Kim Berkemeyer

Wowwod

9. Warlords of Draenor

What was supposed to be an exciting journey into the past of the orcs turned out to be a disappointment thanks to dull daily quests and only two major raid patches. Let's face it: in the end, you only spent half the day in the garrison anyway. | © Blizzard Entertainment

Wow shadowlands release verschoben

8. Shadowlands

In response to the mixed reactions to Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard sought to reignite fan interest with a venture into the afterlife. Shadowlands introduced captivating new zones that mirrored different facets of the soul's journey and destiny. However, the expansion faced criticism for its story development, balancing issues, and the complexity of its systems. | © Blizzard Entertainment

Wowbfa

7. Battle for Azeroth

Undoubtedly a more solid expansion than Draenor but lacking in highlights (plus, Blizzard just recycled a lot of mechanics known from Legion). Sure: story-wise WoW is really making an effort here, but the grind until then is just annoying. Well, another artifact leveling? Sylvanas/Nathanos love? Ehh. | © Blizzard Entertainment

Cataclysm Classic

6. Cataclysm

The Dragon Aspect expansion was the most ambitious one Blizzard ever released. But the plan was not to succeed. Deathwing had wiped every idyllic place from the map of Azeroth, and with it, part of the fascination that was WoW. Not to mention the disappointing boss battle, where you're pounding on armor plates for minutes on end. Did you try the heroic version back then? It was harder than the final boss himself. | © Blizzard Entertainment

Wowpanda

5. Mists of Pandaria

Pandas. Well, apart from the Pandaren, the fourth WoW expansion had a lot more to offer. What started out as a disguised April Fool's joke, culminated in one of the most atmospheric add-ons ever. It was just all so beautiful, BUT! So much went wrong with the grind there, the farmer quests where Azeroth's heroes had to grow turnips was just... such a jarring change of tone. It also contrasted wildly with WoW's otherwise classical fantasy style. | © Blizzard Entertainment

Best ELVUI Interfaces for World Of Warcraf Dragonflight Patch 10 1

4. Dragonflight

After the disappointing BfA and Shadowlands experience, Dragonflight brought new life into World of Warcraft. The introduction of the Dracthyr Evoker offered fresh gameplay, Dragonriding was a game-changer for exploration, and the overhauled leveling and talent systems got a much-needed refresh. The updated professions also add a rewarding complexity to the crafting system. Definitely one of the better expansions! | © Blizzard Entertainment

Burning Crusade Classic Dark Portal Key Art

3. The Burning Crusade

The first ever WoW expansion. It definitely brought a breath of fresh air to the MMORPG and it improved on the original. With the Draenei and Blood Elves, the expansion brought two popular races with it and introduced the flying mounts. For this alone we are grateful. | © Blizzard Entertainment

Wow legion

2. Legion

After the disappointing Warlords of Draenor, Blizzard had to convince long-time fans. The idea banked on impressive new areas, world quests, lots of end-game content and unique class content. Yep, Legion was a huge success. It takes second place on this list only because Blizz could have made Argus a real expansion instead of whatever BfA was. | © Blizzard Entertainment

Wowwotlk

1. Wrath of the Lich King

What else can you say about the legendary WotLK? Beautiful, Nordic game world? Check! Thrilling story? Check! Arthas himself? Check! A cool new class, the death knight? Double check. Wrath of the Lich King is still unique today, and rightfully our number one expansion. Now go watch the intro for the millionth time. You know you want to. | © Blizzard Entertainment

1-9

Blizzard's MMO hit World of Warcraft has held the number one spot in the genre charts since its release in November 2004. This is perhaps due to the fact that the MMORPG has reinvented itself again and again through each expansion. Not all WoW expansions were well received by fans, though. Today, we rank them from bad to good.
