Prior to Patch 2.4, those of levels 69 or below (67 or below for druids) could have not entered the Tempest Keep Instances. As of patch 2.4, however, the restrictions on Warlock Summoning has been lifted, and thus those previous players that were unable to enter, may now enter depending on the minimum level for these instances.
