Many new instances designed top be 'winged' with several wings making up the instances, these can be comparted to the same setup as the Scarlet Monestery. This means shoerter play time for individual sections of the instance.
Instances will have different degrees of difficulties in the storyline, For example an instance could be an instance for 5 players around level 65, an instance for 5 players with level 70, to 10 men instance for level 70 and a Raid an instance for 40 people (also level 70).
A new feature is the difficulty settings and the group leader can select between five modes, of "easily" to "super+heavily". Loot is also variable depending on the degree of difficulty you underatle. The harder the difficulty, the better the loot.
The Blood Elf start zone is located to the north of the Eastern Plague Lands and is suitable for level 1 to 10 and level 10 to 20.
The Draenai start locatoin is not yet visible on the current maps but it lies on an island southwest of Darnassus.
There will be hundreds of new quests to take new characters through to level 60 and many of the new quests will be suitable for both of the two new races. Other races will also be able to pick up on these quests. Once you hit 60 its tome to head to the Dark Portal.
Beyond the Dark portal lies the Outlands, the new BC zone and it's heavily guarded and will be opened with a world event similar to Ahn Qiraj, in other words the Alliance and Horde will have to work together to open the portal.
The view on the other side of the portal is described as breathtaking with enornmous stone stairs that lead down onto the landscape below with two guards on the left and right of the staircase.
New controlable flying mounts are of course included in the expansion and these mounts will take you to areas that are unreachable on foot. This also includes new instances.
Socketable items compliment the new jewel crafting profession. Three sockets per item each of diderent colour and if you insert a jewel of the same colour as the socket you receive a further bonus to all items with the same colour
Each class receives five new Spells and abilities
60 talent points will be asigned with new talents as highlighted in the audio interview with Frank Pierce.
