"GM Test Realm" avaialble? WTF?!

[Lyseria]

Quick question - your intro and the subsequent trance song's pretty bangin', what tracks are those?

The song in the video is Aero Chord - Time Leap and the song in the intro is Au5 - Blossom

You can't type console commands unless your account is flagged as an administrator of type 2and over in the database.

If I recall correctly they have 5 levels of account flagging, he could just have been flagged as someone who can access these servers only and not being able to perform any commands.

For some reason at the moment you just have some extra files in your system that gives you some extra visual effects as the version etc. There is no GM test servers shared within the eu.battle.net and the test servers are always joined only through SSH connections, not the client.

Check this link http://paste2.org/MHLKwk0I, servers can be hidden.

There might be 2 reasons for that: 1) your original world of warcraft folder is changed (which is true since you have visual effects you shouldn't have), 2) something came up with the server merge and the name of a server that pre-existed didn't get completely removed yet.

That's bullshit, seriously.

Why would blizz have the same numbers ref (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/113...ate-11_20_2013) and a GM server appears out of nowhere...

No problem.

think ghostcrawler said at blizzcon that family/friends were in alpha pretty positive

Blizzcon demos are alphas. So yes.

[Last Starfighter]

They also said that they would never allow faction changes but we all know that to be false..

They never said that.

have you tried to navigate the map and look for Draenor?

[Kikazz]

BTW GUYS....

news just in changing the real.wtf file in your files also changes the destination login of your battlenet app. u can crossbreed realm lists with this and use the one log in,

and parse it to show realms from different versions of the game for your version...

who new this guy would show actual evidence at it being done though.

He's still on patch 5.4.1, nothing has been downloaded so a Draenor map would not appear.

[zhero]

Must be an addon or something.

addons only do something after you're in game.

I. Someone created a private server
II. Made fake "real" realms with 5.4.1 at the end.
III. Profit.

[Maggibesti]

Blizzard actually never said they'd never do classic, TBC etc servers. As for now they're not doing it, and its not on their to do list for the future. Which means they haven't actually said "It's never coming, period" I think. Well I'm hoping someday we'll get to play Classic, TBC and WotLK. Or maybe we wont, only time will tell.

With launch from Battle.net client?

Only cosmetic addons work until you load the game.

Looks legit. This is a realm for GMs to test stuff so they don't need to do it on a live realm and risk breaking something. You can normaly only see it when logging in from a Blizzard IP address. There apparently went something wrong with the IP flagging.

Yeah why not. Don't private servers only require changing realmlist.wtf file to your IP?

How do you do it. Is it a PTR, retail client, and what do you change to what IP?

They pretty much said no at blizzcon, a definite no.

Probably just some temporary fluke when some management wires got criss-crossed.

Sorry, I don't think it's some way for you to see the developers actively working in WoD.

[Deleted]

Has nothing to do with WoD. It's a normal retail server, just usually invisible outside Blizzard offices.
