Players who have already completed Battle for Azeroth on one character will instead get to choose between BfA and one of the previous seven expansions to level through to 50. This expansion will take your character from level 10 to level 50, where you'll then jump into Shadowlands. You start in Exile's Reach until level tem (or choose between the new leveling island and their race’s existing starting area, if you’re experienced) and then move onto the Battle for Azeroth expansion by default if you're new.
Patch-day technical difficulties and the joy of exploring a new dungeon both come from the same basic source - the enormous collision of people and data. And that didn't quite rival hours of downtime spread across two days just before the launch of the most recent "World of Warcraft" expansion, "Wrath of the Lich King."
Players did get into Zul'Aman the day its patch went live, but only after the servers were down for hours of extended maintenance. On patch day, players often experience everything from server instability to problems with their user interface (UI) and addons. As anyone who plays the game can tell you, making additions or changes to such an immense, dynamic world can cause some problems. Zul'Aman is an addition to the massively multiplayer online role-playing game ( MMORPG) "World of Warcraft," or WoW.
It's a risky proposition - and not just because Zul'Aman is full of enemies that are far more powerful than you are. You and nine of your friends hope to be the first players on your server to go inside.
But tomorrow, it will become the entrance to a dungeon full of trolls. Right now, it's just rocky pavilion with huge, wooden gates you can't open. You've parked your level-70 character, decked out in epic gear, outside what will soon be the forest ruins of Zul'Aman. Imagine it's the night before patch day.
