Look at this map from blizzcon it shows which zones are totally redone

daam stv being major revap

I'd be all for it. It's an incredibly long zone with only two flight paths, and not much in-between. If they split up the zone into four different quest hubs, it'd make leveling through the location much easier.

[DarkSpectrum]

Judging by the colors, I would assume that:

Blue: New Zone
Green: Mostly un-changed in terms of quest flow.
Yellow: Moderate changes to geography and quest flow
Red: Extreme changes to geography and quest flow.

If this were the case, it looks as if the Eastern Plaguelands finally get cleansed by the Druids. This makes since, because of what's revealed in the Death Knight Arc with Light's Hope, and the various Druids trying to repair the land. A big steeple of this zone was the Argent Dawn and preparations for Naxxramas. With Naxxramas no longer in the Eastern Plaguelands, it looks as if this zone will be re-tooled for a better leveling experience.

They revealed during blizzcon that western plaguelands would be roguhly an early 40's zone and eastern would be a late 40's zone. It's quite possible they were majorly revamped because of this

well i think there will be tons of new flight paths horde have no crossroads alliance have no southshore and vice versa

It would be cool if BB got submerged under water.. and the goblins would just build docks on top of it :P

You mean....Waterworld ?? Everyone start saving your dirt and water.

I'm sort of curious what this will mean for certain achievements and reputations. Goblins are joining the horde...but does this mean all goblins? Are places like everlook, booty bay, and ratchet going to be horde towns now? or will steam weedle cartel remain as neutral faction and the new 'horde' goblins be given a title of their own, similar to the gnomes...something like 'Kezan Exiles'.

Not it's just one cartell from Kezan that joins the horde.

Yes it's been split into two zones, but still Id think that even the lower level section would warrant being classified as a major revamp. It could go either way, I'm just leaning towards thinking that map may mean something different for now. Note the green color of dustwallow, that seems odd if it really means very little change.

the "revamp degree" color isn't about it's damage and or geographical changes, it's about its quest level range changes.

the top will still be relatively the same as the current barrens, afaik.

[Casperodes]

Alot they are near the water i can smell booty bay in ruins

Noooooo, please Noooo...I hope that doesnt happen....I reserved the guild name <Booty Bay Bruisers> for when I make my Goblins...

[Samin]

Did someone notice the star in Tousend Needles? Legend says its a dungeon.
Which one could it be?

[Elementium]

You mean....Waterworld ?? Everyone start saving your dirt and water.

Also Cigarettes and paper... wait.. paper is so rare in Waterworld yet they have plenty of cigarettes.. oh man what a terrible movie..

Not entirely true. While surely, if this is a change map and levels may affect just how much change a zone is having, levels alone doesn't change the color.

WPL is green. It drops at least 10 levels. So does Winterspring.

[Makexevil]

Here's my take and I'm pretty confident that this is what it means:

Taking a look on the left side, it seems that it is a map legend. You have Levels, Spawns, Quests, Items and there is something up at the top, but it's covered. You also have Red stars for Raids and Yellow stars for dungeons.

Taking a look at Azshara the zone is Red and has a Q and a L that represent that there is new levels and quests in that particular zone. I believe that the color represents the amount of change. As we all know it will be the new 10-20 Goblin zone so that alone is a huge change.

Blue of course represent a completely new area.

Desolace will have a moderate amount of change to the area and quests.

All green areas should remain virtually unchanged or slightly changed.

I'm sure you get the point I'm making and shouldn't have to point out exactly every change.

I have to disagree with the level-zoning of Northern Kalimdor as presented by this poster.

What we know for certain is shown in these two screenshots:

http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/...wpanel_045.jpg

http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/...wpanel_046.jpg

For Kalimdor we can use common sense to figure out most of the north:

1-10: Durotar & Mulgore (with Teldrassil)
11-20: Darkshore, Northern Barrens & Azshara (new goblin starting area)
21-25: Ashenvale (seems to be the only 21-25 zone)
26-30: Stonetalon (seems to be the only 26-30 zone)
31-35: South Barrens (as shown on 046 leading to Dustwallow)
31-35: Desolace (as shown on 046 map leading down to Feralas)

Now the 046 map shows that:

36-40: Dustwallow and Feralas
41-45: Thousand Needles
46-50: Tanaris
51-55: Ungoro
56-60: Silithus

I would think, therefore, that:

41-45: Felwood
46-50: Winterspring

would be the most likely options, to make two of each band of those zones on Kalimdor, rather than Felwood being a third 36-40 zone.

With maybe even:

51-55: Darkwhisper Gorge

if it is set aside as a separate zone.

I'm curious as to the new flow of Southern Eastern Kingdoms though, as being a Hordie we currently have to do long runs from Arathi Highlands or Stranglethorn to get to The Barrens, so I wonder if they'll change that.

[Insomnium]

Also what or rather where is that Neutral Port below EPL?
Havent heard ANYONE talk about it .

[UnknownShadows00]

Interesting... can't wait to see how this REALLY plays out.

[Deleted]

Something is odd on the map though, EPL is getting a medium revamp, but WPL no? And Hinterlands also stays the same? Unless the colors means changes in terrain wise and not in buildings and quests.

Anyway, I dare to guess that EPL will be the official Ebon Blade zone for now on.

[Wardley]

Also what or rather where is that Neutral Port below EPL?
Havent heard ANYONE talk about it .

I'm vaguely wondering if the neutral port will have a boat going to Steamweadle Port in Tanaris.

EPL finishes at lvl 50, and Tanaris will now start at 50 and it seems that Tanaris, Ungoro and Silithius will be the only place to level between 50-58 so it would make sense to have an easy way of getting to Tanaris after finishing in Northern Eastern Kingdoms. Maybe they'll also stick some sort of fast link between Everlook and Gadgetzan (Teleporter?) as well so those finishing in Winterspring can get down there quickly as well?

51-55: Darkwhisper Gorge

Darkwhisper was stated as an extension of mount hyjal now with twilight hammer camps all over.

Anyone else notice they seem to have adjusted the size of tirisfal glades map, moving that one section we've never been able tog etto as something unlisted.
