ZG is gone ... did AQ20 get removed too?

[Eyeball2452]

I was never a fan of ZG, but I did like AQ20. I noticed in the latest front page post on MMO that guild achievements don't account for 20 man raid groups at all anymore.

Does that mean AQ20 is also being removed for Cataclysm?

ZG is most likely being removed as a raid instance because of its position/size on the world map. They have to make the whole world flyable, and take a look at that spot on a composite picture of the Eastern Kingdoms textures. The spot where ZG is supposed to be is huge (bigger than the actual ZG instance). Whatever they end up doing with ZG, they're going to have to fill up all that extra space with something. I expect to see the current ZG instance added to the world with some extra paths and areas added in, perhaps. They might make a questing area out of it or something.

AQ20 is actually already accounted for on the world map. It should be fine.

ZG is becoming a low(er) level quest zone apparently.
