Introducing Azeroth Choppers

First, we want to make it clear that players globally will be able to vote for their favorite faction bike—either Alliance or Horde. Second, the bike that receives the most votes will then be made into a faction-specific-only mount and be available FREE to all players (usable when playing characters of the winning faction, of course). Your vote will be very important and could just be the one that lands your favorite faction a shiny new mount. If you haven’t watched the trailer yet, check it out here and stay tuned to Azerothchoppers.com for more details!

    Wonder when this web series will be finished. Safe to say this mount won't come until 6.0 (about August), so plenty of time to air it

    Can we make the "will cost us a raid" meme just stop? It's not funny anymore.

    First time I'm actually kinda excited for anything OCC related. Can't wait to watch this.

    Also, first time I'm actually taking sides with anything Alliance. The Alliance chopper is so much cooler than hordes.

    Well it's good to see our microtransaction money being put to good use developing content and more Blizzard games instead of leveraging it into crappy TV and building motorcycles to live out their nerd fantasies on the players' dime. Oh wait...that is what they are doing? Well...that's uhh...ok. Tacky Blizzard. *shakes head*

    Laughed when I saw Chris on Team Alliance. Nice try.

    Sounds cool, but probably gonna end up being Horde voting for the Horde team and vice versa. Gonna be interesting nonetheless.

    I just wonder how it'll work ingame... I assume they'll just make two bikes and we'll vote for our favorite model and then that'll be a faction neutral bike ingame. Can't imagine a Horde themed bike make it into the game and only Horde can ride it, or the Alliance ride it too. Or they'll give the winning model a skin for either faction.

    Again, gonna be interesting to see how this goes and if the Alliance team actually makes the sweet'er ride so I'll have to vote for them. :P

    If Blizzard actually paid them ... what a waste. Rather would have seen the money put toward something else.
    (But they porobably didn't so I'm fine with it.)

    Oh and I totally expect this to be a store mount so I won't vote or watch (microtransactions don't belong into WoW).

    Until they confirm a craft / quest / drop mount I don't want anything to do with this.

    Reality T.V. is a cancer. Blizzard has been doing cancerous things since wotlk. Now this. They've sold out big time and this cancerous garbage is the nail the coffin.

    Also a ploy of getting new players to join, which is the main source of blizzards subs. Now they're targeting older people, do you know who watches that channel? Jesus, the world is ending sooner that I had thought.

    I may be officially too old for this, but my reaction was pretty much

    if this all just ends up as advertising for an eventual store mount I'm going to be sad. That seems unlikely though since the chopper model has been around since Wrath.

    Turning this into a faction v faction thing was a bad choice though. This will come down to faction pride over anything else, which kind of undermines the idea of the coolest bike winning.

    Metzen on the Alliance, it's like my whole life has been a lie.
