Looks interesting. Not played since March, just... hmrph.

Awesome! I can`t wait for it to hit love though <3

Comment by Sorrowseer

Wish they could find a way to really populate these things, your imagination says hundreds/thousans of orcs are storming out of the dark portal laying waste to all they encounter, you get there and see like 20 iron horde orcs ambling around...

Comment by Rankkor

Ohh trust me, on Tanaan itself, there's nothing left to the imagination. You will truly see the scope, and wideness of the Iron Horde there.

PVP Servers, get ready for the biggest party Blasted Lands has ever seen!

Forcing an entire server to quest in the same zone together at launch always seems to work well, right Blizz?

Comment by Koryn

You'd think most people would avoid words like "Iron" in their titles and the True Horde Warsong tabard. What is Okrilla thinking? I thought that she joined the Iron Horde, being among those orcs that aren't very partial to the other Horde races?

Worked pretty smooth in The Jade Forest imo. Or is this different some way (no beta here :/)?

That party already happened during the BC launch. WoW will never see those numbers again.

CcFreak,

if you were one of the many trying to quest all at the same time during launch for Mists, I'm sure you'll remember the horrible phasing issues and almost impossibility to complete the quest objective of "sinking" the horde ships. With that image still in my mind at the end of this expansion and not having played the WoD beta..... my mind conjures the worst, and this would be a reason not to force everyone into the same area.

oh the horrors of the bombing quest. that was the worst thing i've ever experienced in the entirety of the game since launch a decade ago. i think i had to wait a day or so just so that the amount of people on it made it work.

Comment by Deadlysong

Disappointed that the pre-launch event seems to be lacking in any unique vanity items or updated models. Alas, the pre-WotLK event remains my favorite even to this day.

Comment by Darkshaggy666
