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!

    Not according to Realm Pop. http://wow.realmpop.com/us.html http://wow.realmpop.com/eu.html

    If you have access to more accurate stats, then you must work for Blizzard. Alliance outnumber Horde and always have.

    I know that I don't dictate what they spend money on but for fuck sake don't try to advertise it as if it was some fucking god given privilege to the community to get to vote for which bike they would like to purchase from the in-game store.
    Haha, this was my first thought. Apparently the winning bike will be free, however.

    I'm looking forward to watching the 8 episodes. I hope it isn't one a week so that it takes 8 weeks to complete. Too bad it can't be an hour long show on the network. Oh well.

    This seems incredibly stupid.

    Also: Alliance already lost. Chris Metzen on the Ally team? pfffffffft. He's a horde lover to the bone. I see this as a fail for the alliance just because of Chris Metzen being on the team. -_-

    Horde have already won this project and it hasn't even started.

    Reasons:

    1. Chris Metzen favors horde
    2. I think the majority of the population of the game at this point is horde (maybe?) - and to the person who posted about realmpop - are those ACTIVE accounts?
    3. Another expansion is about to release with more STUFF for the horde. - I've personally had enough with the horde story lines.
    4. Did I mention Chris Metzen favors horde? =P


    Again, this is just my opinion. But horde have this, hands down.

    I believe it when I see it. And even if it is "free" it's not really free since you still pay for the game + monthly sub to gain access to the mount. But what do I know, the concept of free has apparently changed to most people. The domestication of the gamer/customer is complete.

    I will vote for the one I like the most, if the alliance one is cooler they will get my vote, if the horde one is better then i will vote horde.

    But regardless the one who will win and be delivered for free to us, expect the other bike to be on the Shop button for sale..

    Well I meant free as in, besides the monthly sub and game cost...I mean, we could argue whether or not Blizzard should consider a f2p model but I had sortof considered that as beyond the scope of what we're talking about here...

    wow can we trade this for one of the april fools' jokes?

    They should consider having both teams work on horde bikes and the horde just gets to choose which one they prefer.
  1. Clockwork Pinkie's Avatar
    So either way both faction gets a mount cause...balance.
  1. Huntrod's Avatar
    Hate how they split it for each faction. It is obvious that whatever has a bigger player base will get the mount. I highly doubt a person will vote for a bike on the opposing faction no matter how cool it is, because they won't get it in that case.

    I'd expect they only used it in situations where it was actually applicable, such as people wanting hundreds of unique building designs, but I'm interested in any links you have to them using it for more trivial matters.

    Anybody know what kind of phone Chris & Sam are using in the beginning of the video? Looks pretty cool.

    I wrote a post about Azeroth Choppers on my blog http://thetuskedsquires.wordpress.com/, if anyone's interested - it's rather silly :3

    Making it faction dependent is a really bad idea.
