Anyway, this is an expansion but World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade. It was somewhat controversial at launch for a variety of reasons from lore to the new races or zones to gameplay being often viewed as a lull between Classic and Wrath of the Lich King. Now BC is viewed as one of the heights of the game though not as fondly as WotLK is.

I quit the game over Lich King. I got tired of waiting for an actual raid to come along. Burning Crusade was vastly superior to rerunning a dungeon I got to see during vanilla, I didn't like Uldum, and then we got a fake raid with the Grand Tournament. Maybe ICC was really good, but I didn't stick around to find out.
Only the exceptions can be exceptional.
