    Thanks for the reply Proterean! Can't wait to be tommorow then!

    Let us all hope this launch doesnt turn out like cataclysm did back when that was the new toy. Crashes just trying to chat, down every 20minutes, etc. Was a fun time, lets hope those kinks were worked out this go round.

    Players can expect some undesirable effects which will be resolved as soon as they're noticed. We have years of work that we invested into the core that's running Outland but as long time players very well know, crashes can be sudden and surprising. Such things can be expected to be fixed nearly immediately. There's also a possibility of unexpected delay, downtimes and other unexpected similar issues. In such cases, we will monitor the realm and apply hotfixes or modify existing systems to enable the best possible gameplay experience.

    Despite having large confidence that it will something of a non-issue, the population cap remains an unknown figure. There's no real way to reliable test other than to actually launch the realm. Our team will monitor the realm and increase the cap until it proves to be a negative effect on the gameplay.

    So there will no option to set xp rate to 1x ? Dang :(

    [*]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.
    Just a headsup, patch 2.1 is the BT release patch. So you would be emulating patch 2.0.x, right?

    We expect guilds and players to take some time before reaching Black Temple. Work on getting Black Temple to perfection is underway and we fully expect it to be finalized prior to players even getting the chance to finish the T4 and T5 but Black Temple will remain closed on launch.

    Same thing for Battle for Mount Hyjal.

    Can I see the list of patterns that will NOT be available?

  8. May 19, 2017  
    I understand that, but saying you emulate patch 2.1 means a whole bunch of items would be out e.g. engi goggles. It also means that you will have access to the BT and Hyjal content seeing as that was released in patch 2.1.

    That is why I'm asking if you actually mean you will be emulating 2.1 or if you really mean you will be emulating 2.0.x

    What about queue skipping ?

    We don't even know if there will be a queue, nor can we make such decisions before the launch. That will have to be decided at a later time. There will be no special privileges for queue skipping on the start if the queue pops up.

    So happy that xp lock will be implemented (one of my requirements) so I can finally make a 29 twink again :D

    Hi Proterean. Just curious, is there any chance you could tell us what the population cap will be for the first day?

    Pretty much this.

    Any words about when raid id resets are? What day and what time?

    Pretty much this.
    Got it, thanks.

    Will the Outland realm be added to the realms list on the website by tomorrow?
