"Pandaren and Allied Race Death Knights have a new starting experience and arise as champions of Lich King Bolvar at Icecrown amongst their spectral peers. After completing an introductory questline with Bolvar, they will begin their journey as heroes of Azeroth and join forces with either the Horde or the Alliance. Death Knights for previously available races will still begin their new lives in Archerus the Ebon Hold as summoned servants of Lich King Arthas."
So are they saying what transpired in the Shadowlands trailer has already happened? Will 8.3 have an updated visual over Icecrown?
Allied Race and Panda DKs raised by Bolvar (the new starting experience) is the in-game prelude to Shadowlands, just as the first wave of Allied Races were established in Legion and made available towards its end as the prelude to BFA and playable Demon Hunters were introduced towards the tail end of WoD as the lead-in to Legion. This is Blizzard basically providing a "head start" reward to players who actually want to preorder in addition to whatever end-of-expansion world events they have planned for the month prior to the launch of the next expansion.
Cool! Pre-ordering on Monday night to boost my new Vulpera Tuesday after work.
