Here is a copy/pasted portion of the update details that I found interesting...

So obviously it will be similar to an ENM type thing where you can do a quest/buy/otherwise obtain a key item needed to enter the BC fights in these expansions... In particular I am curious about the key items for the ASA final fight. Do you think you will be able to purchase all of the key items for this fight- the 16 or w/e key items found in the temple/DoR? or the equivilent, such as 1 key item that replaces the lot of them? how much do you think they will charge?
My only other thought/question on the matter is whether or not you will be able to use the purchased versions of these key items to receive a different final reward (head/body/leg armor)-- considering the only people who will be able to purchase these key items already have received their armors at least once before. Thoughts?
