@Quikzs Changed in 6.1 to require only 6/10 workshop items; less RNG getting the last few items to spawn, but randomness of spawns intended.

.@WarcraftDevs Any hope we may find and use the Draenor Archaelogy book before skill 575? It is the only trade still having such requirement

@holinka Will the 100 games won achieve for the mount ever be changed please ? Not everyone plays 3's or does rbg :) 2's with more win maybe

@ViodekiGaming @holinka Unlikely as those achievements/mounts were specifically designed to increase participation in 3s and RBGs.

Mists of Pandaria™ Beta Opt-in and FAQ

posted 2012/03/21 at 10:00 AM by perculia

Blizzard Entertainment

We’re very close to beginning beta testing for World of Warcraft®: Mists of Pandaria™! Over the course of the beta test, we’ll be inviting Annual Pass holders, press, fansites, friends and family, and opt-in beta testers to participate. As there’s no NDA for this test, you’re likely to start seeing lots of screenshots and new video around the web. Please keep in mind that the game is still in development, and what you’ll see during the beta test is not necessarily representative of the final game.

If you’re wondering how you can help us test Mists of Pandaria, or how the test works, look no further than the paragraphs directly below this one.

How do I opt-in?

Once you’ve set up a Battle.net account and have attached at least one Blizzard game, you can choose to opt in to our beta tests from the Beta Profile page. You’ll need to select which franchises you’d be interested in helping test, as well as download and run the System Check tool to attach your computer’s specifications to your beta profile. Once that’s complete it’s simply a matter of waiting for an invite.

How will I know if I’m selected?

We’ll send you an email letting you know when you’re selected, but please be aware of phishing attempts. Some unscrupulous individuals send out falsified emails purporting to be from Blizzard, but are in fact meant to steal your login credentials. For more information on how to identify these emails please refer to our Battle.net Security site. One easy way to ensure your invite is legit is to avoid clicking on links in any invite emails you receive, and instead log in to your Battle.net account and see if you have a Mists of Pandaria beta license attached. If there’s no license, you can be sure the email you received was not from Blizzard.

I am participating in the World of Warcraft Annual Pass promotion; when do I begin testing?

We’re inviting Annual Pass holders in waves over the course of the beta test, and will be ramping up the number of invites we send as quickly as possible. We’ll be inviting Annual Pass holders based on several factors, including how long your World of Warcraft account has been active and when you signed up for the Annual Pass. Keep an eye on your Battle.net account and email for your invite to join the beta test.

How many players do you plan to invite to the beta test?

Our primary focus will be ensuring that all of the players who signed up for the Annual Pass are invited over the course of the beta test. The number of additional players we invite will be based on our testing needs. If during the course of testing we determine we need more players to participate, we’ll invite more.

Is there an NDA?

There is no Non-Disclosure Agreement for the Mists of Pandaria beta test. Those invited to play are free to take screenshots, movies, or stream the game content. Please be aware that the game is very much still a work in progress, and we appreciate your understanding when you encounter bugs, graphical errors, or other issues.

How long will the beta test last?

We have not determined an exact date for the end of the beta test. We’ll post a notice when the beta test is nearing completion.

Comment by Iceveiled Watch out for scammers and phishers, folks. They're really gonna ramp up. Comment by Speedyelf So what will China get when they get MoP? ;D Comment by blus10 I look to see if I can get a "server first" this rotation. Not sure what...something that I'll be to do :) Comment by Arcametes the thing is gents and ladies that blizz covered themselves when the offered the annual pass by giving away a mount (passible to some vanity players) and the other big thing, which was a copy of Diablo 3. the mists beta was kinda icing on the cake for more then a few people. yeah it sucks having to wait and I am one of those a little more then ticked that blizz is doing invites in waves but in all honesty can you blame them? I mean how many thousands of people signed up for the pass. just savor the dataz and the screen swag we will be enjoying and take the time to learn what you can. till then catch you all on shadowmoon. PANDAS FTW! Comment by mdeputy7 I am freakin pumped! Comment by mjswdr How soon can those of use who have been promised beta access expect to wait? In my humble opinion, press that didn't get annual pass should have to wait until annual pass people have been let in (obviously press with annual pass should be let in asap as well) . If I have to wait until a month before MoP releases, I'll be one sad panda. Comment by Interest I'm hoping I get it pretty early. Then I can write blog articles on it =) Comment by darkbiker1989 I'm looking forward to see the new zones in Mists of Pandaria , saw some videos and I like how they look, seems no other similar zones like these ones from Mists of Pandaria were created before it. So I'm looking forward for Mists of Pandaria expansion.

P.S.: Gonna start saving money to buy expansion :) ! Comment by temptressmia I think they (Blizzard) have learned what not to do for a xpac and what works. We as players have certainly complained enough about the Cata xpac to let tehm know we did not feel like we got what we as players wanted. I for one am a 6.5 yrs subscriber and i am very disapointed with Cata in general. That being said i think they have some very good ideas to implament in MoP. World PvP is comeing back, harder rep grinds for the new factions,no more Valor gear grind on tiers that the current raiders are beyond. The new gardening and livestock feature..so many new and fresh (as far as WoW is concerned)i deas that we definitely will be busy in the weeks and months after it finally drops. However people will as they always do complain. I for one know i will like alot of it and i will have to accept what i dont as long as the ideas stay fresh the content continues to come out in a timely fashion i will be happy. I can hyardly wait to open the box..or digital downlaod ...and get to cracking ...i mean heroic Scarlet Monestary..i hope its ubber hard and i die alot. Dont however horde the gems the epic drops and the matts to craft with. That being said lets roll theres world Pvp to do . For The Alliance! Comment by TyrGreymane So, they might be removing Tabard of the Scarlet Crusade in MoP?
...
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

PANDAS FTW!Comment by Sakon I can't help it, I've played a hunter since launch so I'm eager for few pets! Comment by CaoimheX No annual pass for Venezuela = Sad rankkorr U_UComment by arcanemage101 Cant frickin wait to try this out waiting for my beta inv now come on annual pass deal Comment by Darkerdesign No annual pass for Venezuela = Sad rankkorr U_UComment by quiksoap gonna be sweet with the new zones and quest line also the AoE loot mmmmmmmmmmmmmh i also like the new warlock pets

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 Comment by Sas148 I read a blue post that had mentioned they were going to invite the annual pass players in order of how long their account has been active. Now does that mean active without interrupting subscription? Or does it mean how long ago you created your account? Either way I should be good. My account is from 2007 and I've been mostly active for the entire time.
