Hi - I was a wee lad in the original days and didn’t get to play end game until classic, and was pulled away from gaming when TBC was coming out. What will we / won’t we have access to in prepatch?
Thanks in advance!
New talent trees
New honor system (no more ranking/titles)
Arena skirmishes? Maybe but probably not, but these were a part of 2.0 in vanilla
New races: blood elf and draenei
Presumably, changes to level 11-60 experience (faster leveling)
I’m sure others will add more

Anyone know if these things have been confirmed as coming in specific phases, or on release/prepatch?
2.3 rep discounts: Friendly 5%, Honored 10%, Revered 15%, Exalted 20%
2.4.3 Apprentice Riding is learned at level 30 instead of 40.
Yeah, this has been confirmed. We are getting 2.4.3 for all intents and purposes, other than raid bosses. They are un-nerfing the raids to their initial state.

Essentially we will have everything about TBC from a gameplay perspective except the actual content. You cannot enter the Dark Portal to Outlands or levels past 60.
If they stick to the pre-patch process you can, however, farm netherweave cloth off trash outside Kara before TBC is live. The drop rate is only like 20% but that is better than none and waiting till go-live.
Have they said something about draenai and bes starting at lvl 10? I actually don’t mind the quests for bes 1-10 fills in some of the story.
They will start at level 1, of course. Experience isn’t adjusted between levels 1 and 10, as far as I know.

Why would you think they’d start at level 10?
Pretty much this.

Thank you for the input!
So, pre-patch will include the new zones then?
That would lead me to ask, what is the difference between prepatch and phase 1 of live patch?
The dark portal will be closed in prepatch. The only new zones that will come are the BE and DN starting areas.
There are also some unknowns about the prepatch. It is possible that you will be able to already level jewelcrafting (There are trainers in the new race areas. Whether those trainers are enabled during prepatch we don’t actually know yet. My guess is you can.)
Also, most elite quests in azeroth become non-elite so leveling becomes infinitely easier.
