Apart from all this, here is a list of the current details regarding the ongoing WoW Shadowlands pre-patch notes released on October 13, have a look-

• Players will be able to remake their character. This includes a large number of additional customization options for the character that are unlocked in this pre-patch - new eye, skin and hair colours, tattoos, faces, jewelry.
• Now the players can start an allied race toon as the reputation requirements to start an allied race character are not removed in this pre-patch. Players can now pick one of the ten allies they want to choose and start levelling them up. However, they will have to complete all the quests related to that character race.
• The new level cap will now be level 60 in Shadowlands and is capped to 50 in the pre-patch, which means that for a short period of time the max-level for the characters in WoW will actually be lower-level than the classic WoW. Blizzard has also mentioned that the 1-50 levelling experience will be about 30 percent faster than the 1-120 experience previously.
• There will be a new mentoring game system in which the experienced players will be allowed to guide the new players via a special chat channel. All the new players will be added to this channel automatically for asking questions. The players with a decent level of experience can volunteer to be the mentors in this channel by going through the guide recruiter system in Orgrimmar for Horde, or in Stormwind for Alliance.
