This, unfortunately, meant it was &#8220;particularly overwhelming&#8221; for the new players coming in, and the pacing of the game wasn&#8217;t where the developer wanted it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ion Hazzikosta explains: &#8220;Shadowlands is probably the best time to jump into World of Warcraft as a brand new player since all the way back in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&rsquo;s something that has been a focus for us as we approached this expansion.

Then, players move on to Battle for Azeroth, to teach players about the Horde versus Alliance saga, and bring them closer to the world.<\/p>\n<p>Ion Hazzikosta explains: &#8220;This will be a couple of dozen hours for new players.
