The Barrens

What we know

• Blizzard is not changing the art style (“we believe WoW Classic's art style is timeless”); the work focuses on environmental effects.
• The official fact sheet lists global illumination, volumetric fog, god rays, water that flows and catches the light, and terrain that casts shadows as the sun moves.
• At the “Evolving a Timeless World” panel they said draw distance is longer: from the Wetlands you can now see Dun Morogh (press).
• Blizzard admits the trailer leaned on sunrise and sunset: “not every zone is going to be set at sunrise or sunset all the time” (press).
