What Else Changes on Shadowlands' Release Date?

Ok, so the servers will be reset on Monday morning, and the Shadowlands content will then become available to everyone who purchased the SL expansion. That’s a given.

What else changes on Monday? Are all of the other changes to old expansion content or to the game world in general already in effect during this prepatch period?

As one example, will Icecrown continue to be under the Scourge attack (minus the rare spawns), or will it return to its pre-event state with the old WotLK questlines available again? So far, I haven’t seen Zidormi anywhere to swap the zone back to its old state.

The prepatch event will disappear. All the rares and Nathanos will be gone. Icecrown and EPL return to their original states.

All big changes to the game are already there. The game as it is right now IS Shadowlands, without access to the SL content.

When it goes live, you’ll get the access to SL (if you’ve bought it of course) content, you’ll be able to level past 50, covenants all that.
