Update - Added quest reward, also removed the part about the sub-zone (see comment) Europe - Cross-Language BattlegroupsTo shorten the queues and provide greater access to warfare between factions, we are currently working on combining existing Battlegroups of different languages, with the aim of creating Battlegroups with higher populations. This change will affect both Battlegrounds and Arenas. Players from realms of different languages will only face each other as opponents in battle and will not be playing on the same faction in Battlegrounds, which will ensure that those playing on your side will speak the same language as you.
Please note that not all Battlegroups will be merged with another, and this feature will not be affecting the Russian-language Battlegroup. More details on this upcoming change will be provided as development nears completion.
To clarify, people from another language realm will only be opponents. Opponents may also be from your realm or other realms with the same language as you. The basicsRealm names: Azuremyst and Terokkar Language: English Realm type: Normal (PvE) Battlegroup: Ruin Migration: No Realm forums: Azuremyst: http://forums.wow-europe.com/board.html?forumId=7100898Terokkar: http://forums.wow-europe.com/board.html?forumId=7100897In more wordsToday we're opening two new English Normal/PvE realms, named Azuremyst and Terokkar, in the Ruin Battlegroup. These are fresh realms, thus no migration will be allowed to the realms during the first months. The realms will open this afternoon/evening. Please note that the starting areas may be quite flooded in the beginning, and the population cap is intentionally set a bit lower than normal to not have them even more flooded. The cap will be raised over the coming days as the population spreads out more. . It looks like one of the upcoming phase of the WotLK world event will feature a new boss located in Karazhan: Prince Tenris Mirkblood. Tenris is part of <The San'layn>. The San'layn is a faction of darkfallen, renegade elves from Quel'Thalas under the rule of the Lich King. The questChamber of SecretsThe Argent Dawn Emissary wants you to search the chamber of Tenris Mirkblood within the Servant's Quarters of Karazhan. DescriptionExcellent, an experienced adventurer. Precisely what we need. There has been talk from the Kirin Tor guarding Medivh's tower that something is amiss with Karazhan. There is a new power lurking within, one that answers neither to the Guardian's magic nor the Legion. From what they've scouted, it appears it is an elven prince called Tenris Mirkblood, and there is reason to believe he serves the Scourge. Go, my friend, investigate Mirkblood's chamber, and return with any information you might find. Rewards This quest is indeed in game and you can actually take a look at it by using the following command (but you won't be able to link it in chat until it's active on servers) : /script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Murlocs are awesome, this quest too: \124cffffff00\124Hquest:12616:70\124h[Chamber of Secrets]\124h\124r"); Prince Tenris Murkblood is also in game but you can't spawn him for the moment (and won't be until it's "unlocked" in the event). According to the last datamining I did on beta servers this is how he looks : The quest seems to be given by an Argent Dawn Emissary near Karazhan. It doesn't look like this NPC is activated on live servers for the moment. New Sub-zoneThere was also a speculation about a new sub-zone, but due to a very interesting comment made by an user I removed this part from the front page as it will most likely won't be used for the event. You can still find it here

Remove that part about the Crypts the Servant's Quarters is near Moroes in Karazhan.
You are able to interact with the Crypts door because the game believes your an NPC as a Zombie!
Thats why you are able to interact with loads of things normal players cannot interact with!
- Dragon heads in Orgrimmar and Stormwind
- Rends head at Thrall's Throne in Orgrimmar
- Gates in Stratholme
- The teleporter under The Ebon Hold
- Karazhan Crypts
- ect.

Obviously the door is near Moroes, the door being active was just interesting in this case. However I do remember reading something about the head in Thrall's Throne, and that's a very good point, I'll add it to the post. New sub-zone ?There was another interesting change here; the gate in the crypt behind the tower is now functional.. but not to players, only zombies can use it ! However in the current state of the event you won't be able to go past the gate, even after opening it as a zombie. This crypt has been here since the beginning of the game and inside is a zone named The Well of the Forgotten. This zone is NOT new and it was here even before the release of the Burning Crusade. We're still unsure if the fact that zombies can open the gate is a coincidence due to them being friendly with "monsters" factions, or if it will be used in the WotLK event. Below is an exploration movie and a few screenshots of the zone on a non-official server, if this zone is indeed activated on live servers you will obviously find monsters and other nice things here. The second part of this news is 80% of speculation and you shouldn't jump to conclusions before seeing it in game. The quest however is definitely in the game files and really looks like it will be used during the event. |

you have always been able to get into that crypt, even on live servers. Well i should say some time back you could i haven't tried in quite sometime, you just had to die in front of the crypt and then rez on the other side. I find the room of Upside down sinners quite interesting.

when the kittens take over the freeways remember i was on your side. Saying that pures should beat hybrids by 5% is like saying a penny should be tails 50% of the time. If you flip a penny infinite times, yes, it will be tails half the time. But if you flip the penny three time and don't get any tails, you shouldn't take the penny to the bank and tell them it's broken. |

If Blizzard ever announced that they were going to reduce the monthly subscription cost, I swear half of y'all would complain "It's not low enough." and the other half will complain "The lower cost will let more noobs in."

The point is when I tried this morning you couldn't enter it anymore even as a ghost, that's why I newsed it on front page but I now moved it to a comment just to make sure that people don't go crazy over it. |

Hopefully he drops some good loot, better than Gruul's or so,.. again, hopefully.
How do we fight him then? We'd all be zombies.. weak and such. Do we cruise through there and fight as zombies maybe? I want to go in and try it all out.

Looking at the screenshot of Tenris Mirkblood, he seems rather familiar... There is a movie on warcraftmovies showing some scenes from the beta, and he is certainly a character that gets some screentime (not as boss in a dungeon, but some sort of scripted event outdoors). _________ Edit: *meh* generic model.  And here I was thinking this might be a bit more... epic.  |

Castlevania tribute, huh. Nice, that'd be cool either way.
