Map of Outlands up

It's even interactive for our viewing convenience.

If everything listed on the map is ready to go at release I can't really see how you'll have any shortage of content to consume and be stuck grinding it out. Hopefully that turns out to be the case.

20 new instances, 5 of which are raidable. Sounds like a lot of new great content :). My question tho, is do they mean 10 man or 25 man raids in regards to the raid description. My guess maybe 3 of the 5 are 25 mans, being magtheridon's, black temple and eye of the storm.

edit: forgot to add a raid to the list.

The (presumably goblin) town of Area 52 amuses me a great deal.

I look forward to the content available at the expansion.. I enjoyed leveling up to 60, and I expect to enjoy it up to 70.

LOL at Area 52.

I wonder if Netherstorm was what a developer was referring to as the part of Outlands that requires a flying mount to get to. Since they can't render in 3D, it's quite possible it's above the rest of the areas.

"Wildhammer Stronghold"

Crap, maybe I shouldn't have thrown away so many of those troll necklaces?

Five mid-60s level zones? Does this scream huge time investment from 60 to 70 for anybody else?

Khalikryst · 09/13/06, 2:31 PM

Couple of new screenshots too...

Is that the new priest armor?

Kasi · 09/13/06, 2:32 PM

They did say 60-70 will be as long as 1-60 is now. So yay to that. :)

Nurru · 09/13/06, 2:32 PM

I wonder how large these zones actually are. Imagine how many people are going to be crammed in Hellfire Peninsula for the first couple weeks. Now factor in PvP servers.

A touch of new information, and my pants get just a touch more moist. Seems completely massive and awesome. I can't wait!

If I remember correctly, the Magtheridon's Lair raid within Hellfire Citadel is a 40 man raid very much the same as Onyxia, in that it's a get in/kill a bitch/get out. We know that Kharazan is 10 man. The others, I'd assume, are unknown and up for grabs as far as total players allowed.

Yeah, I hope they reveal a definitive number for time investment between 60 and 70. Also, does anyone have any information on Gruul's Lair? This is the first time I have heard of such an encounter and WoWWiki fails me as well.

Cordelia · 09/13/06, 2:35 PM

They said there will be zero 40 man raids... So think again!

I feel sorry for the priest leveling in Devout.

Based on current alpha leveling rates, that statement was *wildly* inaccurate.
