New zones
New dungeons
New race zones
New quests
New raids
The character copy
Keep in mind they have to test out the new zones while taking into account the huge population
Also for 9.1 we have seen that they already have the pirate dragon in his room and presumably functioning
9.1 test is
1 zone
1 raid
1 dungeon
4 quest lines
Ehm mate.
They are running on the last patch of TBC. While they are obviously going to test things there aint nothing new here.
Thats the major difference between classic and tbc. They had all the old tbc data, they had to recreate classic.
There is literally nothing new.
You think.... they are going to need to test... .the character copy?
Thats possibly the biggest reach i've ever seen on these forums
TBC does not have a long test period like classic. The reason classic was so long testing is because Blizz openly lost the vanilla data and had to recreate a good bit of the game.
Blizz has been open about this, even before classic was a thing, that they have all the data for things like tbc or Wotlk classic so it’s as simple as flicking the server light switch and it’s a go.
It isn’t like classic where half of the vanilla code was missing and needed recreation. This is ready to go now if they wanted

Yea I mean I’m not a fan of the direction of modern WoW, but calling wod the most replayable version of WoW is legit stunning it’s such a ridiculous statement. I did a double take reading that. Wod and bfa are tied for the worst expac but for different reasons and SL is treading that direction quick
They need to make sure the clone works for the servers...have you experienced beta copies??
They are going to start on the last patch of tbc but that doesn’t matter because they need to do the same thing every time they launch any new content. The servers aren’t the same as back then they need to build it on the classic system not the tbc system from 2007 which is work
Well 9.1 is is likely going to be in August.
TBC was released over a decade ago.
So I'd guess TBC
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
They still need to take that tbc data and change it to work with the current classic system And they have to make sure the fact the entire population of classic doesn’t blow up the servers due to the fact that every player starts in the SAME ZONE
4 month beta for tbc
If they wait until August to release 9.1 bruv, they're going to really REALLY have some playerbase issues lol.
Shadowlands released November 23rd , It's almost March 23rd , it's been 4 months and everyone is always sitting back chilling.. I can understand maybe 6 months but if they wait 8 months fam, I'd imagine 90% of the playerbase wouldn't be playing the game or have anything to do except old content (maybe alts if you have like a ton of alts)
As for TBC, I'd guess that's coming ASAP like super soon
The clone is something they have done many times before. Its not something that needs to be tested to see if it works.
They already made the client mate. They arent starting over now. They already have a working version. SOo i literally dont know what the point of your 2nd paragraph is
That's a funny take on the worst expansion of the game with the least amount of content, by miles.
Oh, i get it, you must be a photo-enthusiast that just went crazy with the S.E.L.F.I.E. cam, that explains it !
On topic, I'm guessing TBC on MAY, 9.1 on JUNE or very close to those. Wouldn't be surprised if they both overlapped though, already happened with Shadowlands and Naxxramas, even if due to a SL delay.
Please do tell me how you can skip the maw intro quest. I am waiting. You know - the one that gives you a full level.
You cant get renown from world quests you get renown from the zone quests and there are 4 of them in total. If you do all of them by questing you are max level before you get the last one.
If you do 16 dungeons you are also way above level 53.
So tell me again please, how do you get 16 renown before level 53
Wtf are you talking about gimping?
You could literally catch your alt up to your main in a day.

Callins are max level.
I am not talking about callimgs.
You have a chance to get a renown level on finishing doing aWQ through thread of fate.
Same as you have a chance to get a renown level on killimg a boss in a dungeon.
