What about starting a brand new character? “We’ve talked about if you have already gotten to level 80, another character would get more experience, or another character starts out at a higher level, like 20, 40 or 50.” Brack clarified.

Though the expansion was the big news, also announced was the upcoming changes in patch 2.3. This patch will introduce Zul’Aman, a new ten man instance in the Ghostlands.

“We’re still tuning Zul’Aman, it’s all about the tuning and the number of bosses.” Brack said. “It’s a ten man, we’re trying to recreate the feeling of Karazhan, which is one of our most successful instances, but it’s really long. It’s almost impossible to get down to one day.”

It’s good to know we aren’t the only ones stupefied by how long Karazhan is. “We are looking at making Zul’Aman shorter, but the number of bosses is still being tuned.” Brack continued. “We’re also talking about making it only a three or four or five day timer reset, but we haven’t announced what that is.”

Also coming in the patch is a guild bank feature. “Which is pretty exciting, pooled guild storage, you don’t have to have five or six toons to help manage the guild bank,” said Brack. Whether or not there is anything else on the way to help out the beleaguered guild leaders, Brack said they are constantly talking about options.
