The rules straight from the official panels
No flying mounts
A design principle, not "later".
No level scaling
Low-level zones stay low-level; a level-40 mob never scales to you.
Level 60 cap, forever
Professions stay valuable, gear stays valuable; the catch-up system is playing the game.
No servers — four rulesets
Normal / PvP / RP / Hardcore. Hardcore is not in the November launch; it comes later. Death doesn't delete: transfer to another ruleset, progress moves one way only.
Dungeon drops unlock transmog for the whole group
Green and blue appearances go to everyone eligible to loot; raid epics only to the person it binds to. Transmog can be switched off entirely.
Characters have a first and last name
Both fields are required; the secondary name can be hidden in settings.
Camps
Set up camp in the world: vendor, repairs, profession stations and a one-hour buff while resting.
Legacy system
For alts: up to 16 points per character at launch, 65 earnable in total, challenges never stop.
Paladins can tank
Judgement no longer consumes the seal; Protection's Seal of Fury makes Judgement a taunt; Swift Judgement resets it once a minute. Holy gets a bit of group healing via talents.
