New World Map
The World Map has been updated with the Dragon Isles!

[Crevox]

That gigantic continent was shrouded in mist and we never saw it until now

[Redwyrm]

That maps is getting a little crowded. Remember when it was just EK, Kalimdor and a tiny postion of Northrend. These new islands make a Los Angeles freeway look sparse

[Atriel]

That gigantic continent was shrouded in mist and we never saw it until now

Just like Pandaria, Broken Isles, Zandalar, and Kul Tiras.

[Marlamin]

PTR is up now? :O Gonna go open it and find out if dracthyr is playable!

They're disabled on PTR.

[Zeek Daniels]

Just like Pandaria, Broken Isles, Zandalar, and Kul Tiras.

Guess u got an F in world history huh? For thousands of years the known world AKA Europe, Asia and Africa had no idea north and south america existed. You know why? Because taking a ship out into an endless ocean frought with storms and no land in sight for weeks or months was suicide. When there is no reason to travel like that in the first place. The only reason these landmasses were discovered was because ppl got tired of the long trade routes and the thieves and pirates that plagued them.

It is perfectly reasonable that these places would exist without many people knowing about them. I think blizzard could have easily put places like Kul Tiras and Northrend on the map way earlier with just no way to travel to them because they were not relevant to the current story.

Imagine they do a Hunter x Hunter or Toriko and it turns out all of known Azeroth were just isles inside a lake part of a greater continent.

Did they ever confirm if Drac'thyr will be playable pre-patch? Playing a new class at launch is always awful.

That argument kinda falls apart though when our characters have been on spaceships and whatnot

If anyone has the opportunity to hop onto the PTR, would you mind linking an image of the updated UI changes that came with this build? I really love that Blizz is trying to improve the defaults, but the character portraits/resources gauges look so hideous right now ;-;

They will be in the pre-patch, yes.

[Fullmetal89]

They will be in the pre-patch, yes.

Don't know if I should believe you or not based on your name, but thanks?!

[lordjust]

They're playable as part of the pre-order. At least that's what it says in the shop and what they said in the interviews after dragonflight was announced.

[Myradin]

That does not look bigger than Northrend lol

Size on the world map doesn't 1-1 equal the actual game space.

*crossesfingers* I hope they stick to it. I prefer to get a head start on a new class.

[Progenitor Aquarius]

Alright, I want to see what’s on the other side of the Veiled Sea. That place is unoccupied, the whole half of the globe, so why not put something there? We could have day on Kalimdor and night on the other side. Hehe

Yes, Ion directly said they would during expansion announcement.
