Yes, but not separately. Buying the base game now includes all of the expansions up through Warlords of Draenor for USD $20. So all of the content up to level 100. If you want to go past that, then you have to purchase Legion separately. That is the way expansions have been handled for a while now. When a new expansion comes out, the previous one gets folded into the content of the main game as far as price goes. So cheaper really than if you had been playing all along and bought each expansion as it came out.
Method of Madness:
Oh! Cool! Ok, when I build a computer that can run WoW I'll do that, then.
TheEvilDog:
Taking a break from the Broken Isles to solo some of the heroic dungeons from Warlords.
I think I can sum up the outcome as the following:
Which is really easing the mammoth cost of that...well, Mammoth from last week...

I'd recommend just getting the base game at start. You will have all the class changes, quality of life stuff and all that that people playing Legion have. You don't need the expansion for basic mechanics of the game. You don't need to buy the expansion until you reach level 100 and are ready to move on. Or unless you really want to play a Demon Hunter. They are a ton of fun, I'll give you that. So there is a lot of content to do before you reach that point. And the price may have dropped for Legion by then, or you might be able to pick it up on a sale somewhere. Getting the expansion does give you a free level 100 boost, allowing you to get a character immediately ready to head to the Broken Isles.
But I recommend playing through and getting someone to level 100 first before doing that though, and trying out several classes to see which ones you like. This will let you get a feel for the game and mechanics of it all, so you don't feel overwhelmed right at the start. And since the level 100 boost is something you can only do once and you can't change class afterwards, you probably don't want to waste it.
TheEvilDog:
Yeah, try out several classes before making one your main.
I remember years ago when Wrath had been announced, I wanted so much to play a warrior and I really disliked the idea of Paladins (though this was going back to other games). I got to about level 40 when I realised that I really didn't understand the mechanics of a Warrior, I was so focused on getting my combat talents that I had no real idea of maintaining aggro for tanking (thank god we don't have to buy talents anymore), which really didn't help at a time when Warriors were pretty much the main tanks in the game. And that left a rather bitter taste in my mouth for Wrath and Cataclysm because if you joined a group, everyone wanted you to be the tank.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love playing a warrior these days, but I have a Paladin for my main, who goes through the content first and looking at a Priest for soloing older content.
That said, the mechanics have simplified so much since 2008. Each class and each specialisation has been further defined in what their roles are and how they can be used. Warriors used to be something of a joke in terms of dealing damage, but nowadays, warriors are terrifying.
I'm sure you can still get trial versions of Warcraft from certain retailers, or even the Starter Edition from Blizzard.net itself. You can level up to 20, earn up to 10 gold and try out the basic stuff, though expansion content will be denied to you (which is alright because the expansions really start at level 60)
