Just How Many WOW Expansions Are there?

The Solo MMO Player just asked me how many expansions there have been to World of Warcraft?  I didn't know, but it looks like as of May 2025 there have been ten addons to the original game which we call Vanilla WOW:  The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, Mists of Pandaria, Warlords of Draenor, Legion, Battle for Azeroth, Shadowlands, Dragonflight, The War Within and Midnight.  Looks like at least one more is planned:  The Last Titan.

After all, the game is 21+ years old.  And we are still talking about it.

By the way, Microsoft bought WOW in October 2023.  The War Within and Midnight are the expansions released in the Microsoft era.

Microsoft Game Psychologist Talks WOW

Interesting interview with a game professional who specializes in game mechanics and rewards.  I particularly liked his take on Real ID, social networking and Blizzard's making the game easier.
