Tried Customer Support and got no response. So I'll Try here.
First of all, I've completely done all the pre-launch event stuff. (Darkshore, Teldrasil, Lordaeron). I finished the firefighter quest and turned it into the king last week then I did the battle for Lordaeron this morning. And I'd also like to add that 2 days ago I successfully went to old darn after finishing the burning of teldrassil questline.
Today, after doing the battle for lordaeron event, I wanted to go back to old darn so I used the portal from stormwind and it ported me to a dock in rut'theran village then said "You cannot abandon your duty, return to Darnassus!" and it ported me to darn on fire. I look at the map and see a marker for the quest "A flicker of hope", but when I get to the temple there's no quest available anywhere (plus I already did that quest last week). I can't click on the portal to stormwind and I also cant use the tree teleporter or fly away from darn as it says "You cannot abandon your duty, return to Darnassus!" every time I do.
I hearthed back to stormwind, took the port to mount hyjal and flew to darkshore. I talked to the bronze dragon lady and according to her I'm in "past darkshore" I can even see old teldrasil in the distance. I start to fly to teldrasil, but as soon as I zone in it was like zoning into teldrasil on fire just like before and it says "You cannot abandon your duty, return to Darnassus!" and it ports me to the same place in darn as before. Also trying flightpaths and trying to swim does the same thing.
I'm not necessarily stuck in burning darn, the problem is I just cant zone into old darn.
Edit:
I found out I'm not the only one...

You cannot abandon your duty, return to Darnassus!
I wonder if Horde can still go to old Undercity?
Did you try the bug/CS forum? I was able to return on my toons.
One of those links had a possible solution:
Do you still have the quest in your log?

Did you close out the fire quest line with your faction leader in the capital when you completed it last week?
It seems weird you could go back to the fire scene if you already completed it - I tried to get back to there on my ally and couldn't find a way back.

Yeah I did. that's why this is such a trip.
It's like being put in a scenario you're not supposed to be in or something.
And like I said the map marker for the quest is on my map but there's no quest there to accept. Plus I did this quest last week on THIS character lol.
Crazy. Sounds like the port gliched out on you or something. I'd submit an in-game ticket - it may take a few hours, but generally they have been pretty good at sorting issues out for me. But the bug report forums & in game bug report are helpful too, might at least prevent it from happening in a hot fix somewhere if enough people report.

Same problem man. I've also done all the pre patch content and no matter how I go towards it I always get teleported back
I have the same issue. I'm stuck in some half-phased burning of Teldrassil if I try to use Zidormi to view Darnassus before the burning. I've done all pre-patch content. Before 7 Aug (Invasion of Lord.) I was able to successfully view pre-burning Darnassus and I had that version toggled when yesterday's scenario was enabled. Not sure if that matters. If I view present day with Zidormi, I seem to be normal...the invisible wall before the burning tree.
same problem here, i tried the recommended steps as well
Same problem here too, tried using the city portal after mage teleport.

Yes just did it and did not have an issue.
To my knowledge, you're not SUPPOSED to be able to go back to a city that got annihilated.

You should be able to talk to Zidormi and she time travels you back to before the attack and should be able to get to Darnassus, but there's a glitch or bug

Must be that Horde favoritism again because you can sure go back to Undercity. /rolls eyes

idk why you call it favoritism
horde is just factually the better, more interesting, and more story worthy faction
alliance is so lame boring ugly and uninspired

This happened to me as well trying to do the shieldwall rep quest in darnassus. It's impossible with this bug and a GM basically told me, yeah we're working on it, nothing we can do, go work on something else in the meantime.
08/08/2018 02:06 PMPosted by SandersA GM just fixed it for me.
I was told that he flipped between the two timelines a couple of times and it fixed the problem.
I think that's what he did to confirm he had fixed the problem for you, not what he did to fix the problem itself. Just flipped timelines a bunch of times, A Flicker of Hope still shows on Darnassus map, as if I haven't done it already, and that means past Darnassus is still stuck on the burning event for me 8(

Are you sure about that, a few ppl in my guild tried last night and the blight killed them. multiple times.
I can talk to Zidormi just fine. She is south of the town a ways near the road. After that you can use the flight path and/or Mage portals to visit old Darnassus just fine.
