Burning Crusade realm Outland: Release date and information
Greetings Warmane community,
After months of meticulous research, work, a joke or two and thousands of hours of passion poured into making our dream come true, we are finally able to announce the release date of Outland, the Warmane Burning Crusade realm.
Outland is scheduled to be released on May 20, 2017 at 13:00 server time.
As announced previously, the realm's design will be the following:
- x5 experience rate.
- Trainer costs will be lowered to 20% of original cost.
- All other rates will be x1.
- The realm will be progression based, emulating the 2.1 patch on the beginning, with all respective attunements.
- The following raid content will be available at the beginning: Karazhan, Gruul's Lair, Magtheridon's Lair, Serpentshrine Cavern, Tempest Keep.
- Isle of Quel'Danas will be closed until the realm reaches that point in progression. The isle itself will be progressive as it was designed, once released.
- PvP gear will be Season 1, Gladiator gear.
- The marketplace will not be implemented for at least a month and on release it will only contain items that were already obtained by the players. The marketplace itself will be progressive.
- Quality of life additions, such as dual spec, faction change, re-customization and similar changes, we are positive about their implementations but will take longer time to consider pros and cons.
Since the start of the PTR we have continuously demonstrated our skills and ability to handle any issues we find with ease. Within two weeks of publishing a changelog containing over 1,400 fixes we were able to produce another changelog including again over 1,000 fixes. This clearly shows our unchallenged strength and capabilities and we will continue to work at that pace as long as it is required and deal with absolutely any issues that come our way.
We encourage all players to log on our PTR and see the quality for themselves and we appreciate any reports and feedback that come out of it. We will continue to work hard on the realm after the release as well and we are hoping to see more feedback. The dedication to provide the experience we seek and the community seeks will remain strong throughout the release and well after. In the meanwhile, we encourage players to make the best of their remaining time on the PTR and help us forge the ultimate experience on Warmane.
See you in Outland on Outland,
Warmane
