WotLK zone list

By Eliah Hecht

Games for Windows magazine has revealed a surprising amount of info on WoW over the past year or so. Now, a subscriber has written in and claims that this month's GFW (not on newsstands yet) contains, among other things, a full zone list for Northrend. Obviously this should be taken as unconfirmed, since we don't have any scans or anything to go on, but I'm inclined to believe it:

  • Howling Fjord (68-72)
  • Borean Tundra (68-72)
  • The Dragonblight (71-75)
  • Zul'Drak (73-76)
  • Grizzly Hills (74-76)
  • Azjol-Nerub (74-78)
  • Sholazar Basin (75-78)
  • The Storm Peaks (77-80)
  • Icecrown Glacier (77-80)
  • Lake Wintergrasp (Outdoor PvP)

Also note that WotLK is still in a fairly early stage of development, and so this is all subject to change. And finally, here's a couple other tidbits, ostensibly from GFW:

The Nexus is the instance hub in the west (Borean Tundra), and "a giant Horde citadel–the largest in Northrend" is also in Borean Tundra, but currently without a name. Also, the final raid wing of The Nexus will likely end with a fight with "half-mad Malygos himself".

Sounds interesting enough, although they seem to be sticking uncomfortably close to the Burning Crusade model. But we'll see. Does anyone else have a copy of this issue of GFW and can confirm this information?
