Will
there be new lands
to explore in the
expansion?
Outland will be
opened with the
expansion. Players
last visited Outland
in Warcraft III: The
Frozen Throne,
alongside Illidan as
he conquered the pit
lord Magtheridon's
domain. Players will
also gain access to
Quel'Thalas, the
region to the
northeast of the
Plaguelands, where
the Blood Elves
reside, and the
Azuremyst Isles, a
grouping of islands
off the northeastern
coast of Kalimdor,
where the remaining
Draenei crash landed
after fleeing
Draenor. Other areas
that players will be
able to explore in
the expansion set
will be revealed in
the months ahead.
Where is the Dark
Portal?
The Dark Portal is
located in Blasted
Lands. Players will
need to be level 58
to pass through the
Dark Portal. (The
Burning Crusade
Expansion must be
installed.)
Do you have to
travel through the
Dark Portal every
time you want to
visit Outland?
No. Players can bind
their hearthstones
to any of the inns
in Outland.
Additionally, all
player abilities
that allow for
travel, such as the
the Warlock's
Summoning Ritual,
will also work in
Outland.
Will there be faster
travel methods
available to players
who wish to travel
between Kalimdor and
the Eastern
Kingdoms?
There are no plans
to introduce faster
travel between the
continents at this
time.
Do the Draenei and
Blood Elves have
their own starting
area in Azeroth?
Yes. Each of these
races will start in
brand-new starting
zones, both of which
are in Azeroth.
Will the release of
The Burning Crusade
bring about
additional content
for Azeroth?
Absolutely--two new
dungeons will be
available, along
with the new
starting zones for
both the Draenei and
Blood Elves..
