Will
there be new
dungeons and
battlegrounds
included in the
expansion?
We do have plans to
add dungeons and
battlegrounds with
the expansion,
though the exact
number has not yet
been determined. One
upcoming dungeon
that we're excited
about is Karazhan,
also known as
Medivh's tower,
which is located in
Deadwind Pass.
Because Medivh has
played such a
central role in
Warcraft lore, we
think that a lot of
longtime players
will be especially
interested in seeing
what Karazhan
contains. As an
example of a
battleground that
will be included in
the expansion, we
plan on making some
of the battles from
the past accessible
through the Caverns
of Time. We'll
provide more details
as we get closer to
implementing this
content.
Are there plans for
any new instance
dungeons in Azeroth?
In addition to the
many instanced
dungeons included in
Outland, the
expansion will
launch with two
dungeons, Karazhan
and Caverns of Time,
that are located in
Azeroth.
Can you tell us more
about dungeon
difficulty and how
it works?
New dungeons
introduced with
Burning Crusade will
have two difficulty
options; normal and
Heroic difficulty.
In order to unlock
the Heroic level of
a dungeon, players
will need to be
level 70 and achieve
other objectives.
More details on
these prerequisites
will be revealed at
a later date. While
the challenge at
Heroic difficulty
will be much
greater, the rewards
will also scale up
accordingly.
Will
25-player-capped
raid dungeons also
have the Heroic
difficulty option?
No. The Heroic
difficulty option
will only be
available in the new
non-raid dungeons
introduced with the
Burning Crusade.
Are older raid
encounters such as
Molten Core and
Blackwing Lair going
to be switched to
use a token loot
system similar to
Naxxramas?
We have no plans to
adjust the loot
system of our
previous raid
dungeons...
