Pre Patch 8.0 Event: Sneak Peek and Official Date
In pre patch 8.0 we will have an event for each faction. Both will be focused on the destruction of Teldrassil and the revenge attack on the capital of the undead, Undercity (Lordaeron).
For now the only thing we know is the theme of the event and what there will be rewards, both in the Alliance and in the Horde, for completing them. The only, and quite important, piece of information that is unknown is the release date. So first we will give you a quick summary of what each of the events will deal with and then get down to speculation by finding out the possible release date of pre-patch 8.0.
