World Of Warcraft: No Level 70 for Non-Expansion Players

In the article put out by bit-tech.net someone made a mistake in saying that:

For many current WoW players the most important new addition to the game will be the new features with regards to game play, fortunately Burning Crusade does not disappoint in this department. To start with players will now be able to go beyond level 60 all the way up to level 70. This will be the case for everybody not just those who have bought the expansion pack.

Nethaera from Blizzard sets the record straight:

The statement in the article is in error. Players will in fact still need to purchase the expansion in order to level to 70.
