Quick question, what server for the beta are you able to copy characters onto? Tried to do it several times on the Draenor Beta Leveling One server, but keeps coming up as copy failed each time I try to go copy account data...

by **Coppersocket** Thu Sep 11, 2014 5:15 pm

Character copy is currently under maint.

by **Coppersocket** Fri Sep 12, 2014 10:23 am

Character copy is live since yesterday evening.

Since there's been some concerns about Gnomes running animation being too alike Goblins, I decided to put them side by side. They certainly have quite a few similarities, but they're not the same. The Gnome one is far more aggressive, and quicker.

So, I want to go on the PTR but I don't have any "region change" thingie. Its basically not there. It has never been, either.

by **Coppersocket** Fri Sep 12, 2014 3:40 pm

The "region change" is on the realm list itself, just choose a EU realm. They're all connected anyway so it's pretty irrelevant which one you choose.

I think it's an Orc thing. Bloodlust. They do come off as a rather War-like race by the story of Grommash Hellscream. It might be a part of new Orc lore as i think they used to be peaceful and shamanistic in the books before, driven on the Draenei only because manipulation. Also earlier books did not mention the Ogre empire as large as it is.

by **Rmuffn** Fri Sep 12, 2014 8:46 pm

Our current timeline used to have a massive ogre empire, it's just that it had already crumbled a lot by the time the orcs were compelled to attack the draenei and all that.

IF I recall right.

And the bloodlust is a thing, probably enhanced even worse by demonblood, that's why you mistook it Helmy

by **siegmund** Fri Sep 12, 2014 8:57 pm

Bloodlust is a shaman ability.

And anyone can have blood lust it's not reserved for orcs.

by **Helmut** Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:08 pm

According to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is Blood Fury and the blood of Mannoroth, with, you know the red eyes and all of that.

This. The orcs always had blood lust. It's not the same as the blood fury. Blood lust is literally just the stage of adrenaline infused rage where they let loose and just go full on killing machine.

All races have that. The orcs just always were very centered around it, what with the Warsong clan (for example).

Maaaan, the continuing lack of empty eyesockets for undeads bums me out. There is plenty of good looking faces for males, but I'd like that option back as well. I'd also love to be able to copy my DB characters to check out those other old faces and features, but that probably won't get fixed 'till next week's maintenance...

Anyways, I did log with my new undead briefly and boy, that music! Put that together with the "far away from home" looking environments and this expansion might offer the best feeling of exploration since setting foot on Northrend.

by **erwtenpeller** Sat Sep 13, 2014 12:29 pm

Didn't even bother to make 'em sound like orcs.

Orcs are getting less and less orcish.

Dabu?

I disagree. They might as well rename the game World of Orccraft.

Like some guy said on the blizz forums.
"New settings for Warlords of Draenor

The cinematic is serious stuff and not just fan-made? If it is legit i may avoid of opening it, since while reading news from the development of the expansion is nice, i'd prefer not to get spoiled of the ending before the expansion have even launched.

by **Ixirar** Sun Sep 14, 2014 10:46 am

It's fanmade. Every thrall from every point in time (even WC3 Thrall with the WC3 portrait) travel to Draenor in their tardis to freeze it and prevent the Iron Horde from leaving Draenor ever.
