The free boost to level 90 won't expire.Having 20 players also allows for more complex mechanics for the most challenging raid content.With 20 players, raid designers can assume there is at least one of each class in the raid, something that they can't do with a raid size of 15.Mythic raiding was set to 20 because of the advantages it gives the team when designing raids.A 15 player size was discussed, but the devs are already asking 10 player guilds to grow so they selected the size that would work best going forward.Garrisons are mostly an individual thing because if it were a guild thing first, the guild leaders would take all of the fun parts.

Garrisons will take gold and some kind of garrison resource like wood or stone to upgrade.NPCs will also benefit from the new models and get some touchups to fix any custom work that was done that doesn't match the new models and animations.The team has talked about the different ways they could roll out new character models, including just switching them one day or allowing people to opt out and keep the old ones for performance reasons.


Starting on it so far in advance let them set up the Garrosh story for the next expansion. The team has been talking about Warlords of Draenor since a few months before the Mists of Pandaria launch.Another episode of WoW Source has been posted.
