Beside the New Launcher, the level cap was set to 85 now and Twilight Highlands and Uldum are now open.

Level Cap is now 85

Twilight Highlands and Uldum are now open and ready for testing. You will need to do both zones to reach max level. It should also be noted that neither zone is 100% complete. Please refer to the quest forum for feedback.

New Areas Available

Twilight Highlands (src)
Twilight Highlands is ready for testing. It is not yet fully implemented, so you will run into stopping points.

• Level 84-85 (though for this push of the beta minimum level for quests has been set to 83. Enjoy getting pounded!)
  
• Breadcrumbs from Stormwind and Orgrimmar (speak to Varian/Garrosh to begin)

Uldum (src)
Uldum is ready for testing. It is not yet fully implemented, so you will run into stopping points.

• Level 83-84
  
• Breadcrumbs from Deepholm (Reliquary and Explorers' League NPCs in Temple of Earth).
  
• Quests start in southwestern Tanaris at the caravan.

Zul'Gurub Gone in Cataclysm

Zul'Gurub is gone as a raid instance come Cataclysm.

Other Blue Posts

Life Tap Changed (src)
Life Tap scaling with spellpower was proving hard to balance. We buffed Drain Life as well, so you should be able to Life Tap once and then Drain Life your way back up.

Dungeons testing (src)
All dungeons should be available for testing.

Thunderstorm removed from Elemental Reach (src)
It buffed Thunderstorm from 10 to 12 yards, which is pretty hard to even notice.

finally uldum! i love this zone so much only by flying through it. all dungeons are also ready well looks like a great day for beta testers if everything works . is the loot also implemented already or just the fights? someone knows that already?

hmmmm i get more and more the feeling im talking to myself =/ we need more active people here

Well, I haven't had the time to test anything in Beta cause I've been flooded with work.

My only "sadness" with this news is that ZG will be leaving. That means no more rep for Zandalar and no more mounts

[Goht]

actually i love that zg will be gone, i hate this instance! well they said that it will be gone as a raid so maybe as a 5man instance. it is already a questingzone in stv maybe we will get a "smaller" 5man version

Damn! No more ZG?! I have to get my tiger mount
