World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

Hello.

I think it might be helpful to note that what we’re now calling WoW Classic Era realms start at Level 1, and we feel the same as we did two years ago: no Boost would ever be needed (or appropriate) there. When we originally laid out our principles for WoW Classic, the 1-60 experience was the only thing to which we could refer.

Burning Crusade Classic begins at level 58, and we’re configuring this new Boost service to avoid minimizing the accomplishments of existing players or skipping any new content at launch. It’s for players who want a way to quickly join their friends in Outland.

And finally:

Covenants

• Venthyr
  • The Ember Court
    • Permanent RSVPs
      • Guests who you have reached Best Friend status with now give you a permanent RSVP.
      • The Permanent RSVP will allow all characters on your account to invite that guest to future Ember Courts without completing their RSVP quest again.
    • Temel in Sinfall now sells a Bind on Account book at Exalted with the Ember Court. The book will teach your Dredger Butler how to handle the Cleanup and Restocking quests that follow the Ember Courts.
    • One-time reputation items from Temel and Lady Ilinca will no longer appear once learned.
    • Droman Aliothe’s RSVP no longer requires players to venture to Bastion and Maldraxxus for items.
