This patch is, by and large, simply just for class and system/UI changes. The world will be torn asunder in the next patch, 4.0.3.

To answer your question, yes. All raids will remain in-game after the patch today. ZG will be, most likely, taken out in 4.0.3.

The current "oddity" is that even though the portal to ZG is gone in the beta - if you check the calendar the raid reset times for ZG are still present. Suggests the instance is still there - but there is no gateway into it.

I do wonder whether the current "raptor" quest chain is just to get a Razzashi Raptor companion (same model/colour) - but I have hope that some how, some way, we can still get the two mounts... Troll archaeology or something?
Either that or I get incredibly lucky in the coming weeks...

I really hope they will give us the chance to obtain the mounts in some other way after Zul'Gurub is gone... I've been farming the tiger mount for so long and I'm going to be really sad if it becomes completely unavailable... :'(

Same- and if someone tries to go 'try harder' how the hell can you try harder!? I had a GM basically tell me to try harder when I complained about Ryai getting a second ram, because evidently Blizzard didn't make it where it was flagged as unique and the two alts I desperately wanted even just the damn ram on, got nothing.

Being told to Try Harder over RNG makes people unhappy.

But hell, making them quest rewards, rep rewards, drops from five mans or something would be better than just retiring the mounts.
