Battle For Azeroth

Battle For Azeroth

Tiphaine heard the rumors of restlessness among the Horde. Heard Horde leaders already claiming rights to new lands still little more than fables. Wildshard will have heard the rumors as well. The two guilds will have decisions to make should the rumors prove true.

Now for the pitch. It's back to Alliance vs Horde again. Each side will get a new land to connquer. The Horde gets Zandalar. The Alliance gets Kul Tiras. Both sides will get to play with "allied" races; ie a different form of the same thing - a "Void Elf" instead of just an elf. A "Highmountain Tauren" instead of just a tauren. Some new racial abilities will be thrown in. Anybodies guess if the racials will be useful.

In addition to the two new land masses it looks like there will be a bunch of smaller islands to play on, too.

They are experimenting with new/old ways to form groups such as "battlegoups" of three (allowing for pvp and/or resource gathering) and in goups of 20 for larger battles or gathering. We've seen this before in earlier expansions. Some of that I remember being fun. Maybe some of the old can be new again.

Of course the Level will go up another 10, to 120. Of course, Boosts to 110 will available for the laggards. Tiphaine is determined to reach 110 well before that happens.

Here are some questions that only the Gods can answer. Or maybe even the Gods don't yet know.

(1) It is expected that Flying in the new lands will be initially restricted. Nothing new there.

(2) But will the requirements that unlock Flying be the same as those as the current Legion requirements? ie, will players be Forced to complete dungeons and raids, not just to unlock Flying, but also to complete professions?

(3) What other crippling rules might there be to force players into or deny them content they paid for?

PS - Sorry about that last bit. Getting a little worked up there. Time will tell.
