Hey guys. As you know we are starting WoD this week. This means we a whole host of new things players will be able to do now, like morphs and ST stuff. We will also have some rules in place for independent demons and Legion aligned demons. This thread will consolidate these announcements for easier access to all players. If you have any questions feel free to make a CTS or ask in QfS in the discord.

Morphs
This is the morph list for the AU Draenor races. As you guys can see some AU races have moved down from their MU counterparts. Be sure to specify your if your morph is from AU or MU to prevent confusion.

Tier 2: Pale Orcs, Gronnlings, Ogrons, Humanoid Vigilants, Draenor Greater Elementals

Tier 3: Pale Dire Orcs, Big Vigilants

Unplayable: Magnarons, Genesaurs, Draenor Ancients

WoD Intro ST events and beyond
STs can also apply to do storylines for the WoD intro event. These events should mostly be focused around the Blasted Lands as that is where the Iron Horde is focused on Azeroth. As for ST events in the Draenor zones, similar to Pandaria, we will be opening up side quests as the main story progressive for STs to use as templates. We will be having a dedicated thread for this and will be updating it much more frequently as Draenor hasĀ a lot to offer those who wish to do some of the side stuff.

Demons, both Legion and Independent
Demons will have a special place in WoD, both those who are and are not a part of the Legion. For Legion aligned demons, you will not be able to get to Draenor until we get to the half way point of Talador. Legion aligned players will be able to make events after that point, in relevant zones, where they can do small stuff in the Legion's bid to take over Draenor. For independent demons, they will find the first three zones, Frostfire, Shadowmoon and Gorgrond, easy to remain hidden. However, as we progress further along in the storyline and encountering more and more Legion members and actual deities of Draenor, they will find it harder and harder to keep disguised without the enemy purposely revealing them to cause chaos amoungest the heroes ranks. Once we get to the final part of Draenor, Tanaan Jungle, it will be impossible to keep hidden. We will allow independent demons to be able to form a contract with player OR NPC warlocks to be able to attend main events unhindered. We ask however, if you are deciding to use a NPC warlock, you come to the staff first and work out the details in a CTS. Keep in mind this contract will only let the demon attend Draenor main storyline/garrison missions/side quests unhindered. This will not allow a demon to go to faction capitals or towns on Azeroth.

Porting between Azeroth and Draenor
Another important thing to note is that for the Shadowmoon/Frostfire storylines, players who decide to come to Draenor will not be able to get back to Azeroth until those zone storylines are finished. Once those zone storylines are finished, Asharan will open up to players, allowing porting between the two worlds. This is to keep the theme of feeling trapped on a strange world for the first 2-3 months of the storyline. For characters who didn't or couldn't go to the intro event, we will allow them to say they tagged along during the initial invasion of Draenor as not to lock them out of the two starting zones.

The Draenor Side intro event
Finally, we come to the Draenor Side Intro event. This event itself is shaping up to be a really long event. Next Sunday, 12/3, I will be creating a thread to ask people if they want to do this event in 1 or 2 parts. This will be a poll in the discussion part of the forums. I really want people to think about this. A 1 part event will include everything from the Draenor side intro. From going through the Dark Portal to setting the garrisons while a 2 part event will stop midway and then keep going the next day until we reach the garrisons. So think very hard on how long do you want the event to be. If it is indeed a 2 part event, it will be a Friday and Saturday event.
