World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Interview

WorldofWar.net has conjured up a new interview with Blizzard's Frank Pierce about their upcoming World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expansion pack.
Q: At Blizzcon it was mentioned that trading Burning Crusade Items outside of the Outlands wouldn't be possible? What is the current situtation with items from the expansion as far as trading is concerned?

A: If it's portable content that can be sold at the auction house it's accesible to everyone, the only thing would be like gear from the Outlands is probably going to have level requirements higher than level 60. So you as a level 60 player would be able to acquire it but not equip it because of the level restrictions.

But then at the same time there is going to be content from jewel crafting and the jewel crafting stuff is something that will be available to all players. There's going to be a lot of stuff people will have access to, new recipes and stuff. Keep in mind that even when we do live content updates going forward, we want to make them available to players of all levels. A subscriber is important to us whether they purchased the BC or not.
