Patch 4.1 Is Coming! Witness the Return of Zul'Aman and Zul'Gurub, and a whole lot more!By

As some of you guys may already know, PTR Patch 4.1 has just shown up on Blizzard's Public Test Realm data servers, and with it came some exciting new changes and additions! As usual, we've brought back our PTR site so that you guys can stay on top of all the latest additions!

Check out the 4.1.0 latest additions!

Check out all of the latest new data and information after the break, including:

We'll keep you posted on all of the latest patch 4.1 information - keep reading for all of the latest additions!

The Return of Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman
Most notable to mention are two major class raid revamps - Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman are both being reintroduced into the game as 5-player Cataclysm Heroics! These new Heroics will require a minimum item level of 346 to enter, and drops will be 353 epic items - that's right, epics in Heroics! Cue rage now! But don't assume they're going to come easy - these dungeons are intended to provide players with more challenging Heroic content (which should be much appreciated after the recent waves of nerfs)! And yes, there will be mounts.

New Zone and Epic Trinkets - Firelands Raid Coming?
We've discovered a new zone - Molten Front, which (judging by the name) could possibly contain the Firelands raid we've all been waiting for - including the Ragnaros encounter! After all, something has to be the source of these amazing new item level 378 and 391 epic trinkets, right?

New Mounts and Companion Pets
Unfortunately, the return of Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman does not mark the return of the classic raid mounts Amani War Bear, Swift Zulian Tiger or Swift Razzashi Raptor. Instead, brand new mounts have been added! In addition, quite a few other mounts have been discovered with this first batch of data, though sources are yet to be determined - some may be TCG items. One thing's for sure - new mounts are awesome.
