Martens notes that Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, in particular, may offer some unique challenges in this regard because the game’s original two continents have so many more zones than the continents that arrived with WoW‘s expansions.
“You cannot complete both continents on your way to level 50, not in a fun way, I don’t think,” Martens says. “People will be playing through the Cataclysm era versions of those zones, and we’ll use the system that we have right now where we have suggested storylines. We’ll give you the suggested storylines, and we’ll have you do X number of zones so you can get a bunch of good experiences and have some nice culmination of all that before Shadowlands.”
