Brian explains the development for server infrastructure, explaining how hardware and software work alongside one another in response to queue times for realms, as well as what the team is doing to try and alleviate some of the queue issues.

The built-in Quest Tracker and Quest Helper features will be added into Wrath at a later date. Brian explains that this feature wasn't available at the original Wrath's launch, so the team felt it was okay for it to not be implemented at launch on Wrath Classic.

MrGM and Scottejaye - Interview with Kris ZierhutMrGMScottejaye

One of the biggest news drops from the day, Kris Zierhut announced that there would be some interesting loot changes when Ulduar Phase 2 drops in Wrath Classic, as well as new Heroic Plus Dungeons.

Additionally, Blizzard will be implementing new bonus rewards for completing dungeons for Tanks and Healers, with the small chance of acquiring pets and mounts from the reward.

Countdown to Classic - Interview with Josh GreenfieldPlus

Josh explains why additional Fresh Start Realms needed to be launched, because of the extreme queue times. Additionally, Blizzard received a lot of feedback from players who just wanted to level during the fresh experience and didn't really care about realm population, which is one of the driving factors for Blizzard opening up additional Fresh Start Realms.

When asked about queue times disappearing over night on Wrath Classic during the Pre-Patch, Josh explains that Blizzard is implementing new technology to ban bots, which means on locked realms those bots can't make new characters and would have a drastic impact on realm queue times.
