Nuthals said they never plan to retire a raid the way Naxxramas was retired.
- Every raid boss drops a few items at a much lower chance that are much better than the rest, not necessarily for all classes.
- He compared that to the Dragonspine Trophy from Gruul's Lair in Burning Crusade.
- Zierhut said a Barrow Deeps item might matter in a later dungeon. His examples: forests, mountains, underground, Worgen, Dwarves, Undead and Dragons.
- He said they will have world events like the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj opening, "up to the moment that thing happens".
Unconfirmed item names, drop rates and any world event date; he did not promise that the Ahn'Qiraj gates open.
