    Connected Realms Update - 22/01
    Bladefist been taken off the connection date again?
    Unfortunately it's been temporarily postponed. Haomarush and Dragonmaw was on the list too, and that's also been delayed. I'll let you know as soon as they're back on the schedule, sorry for the hold-up guys. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

    Free Character Migrations - Update
    We've extended the availability of these transfers until Friday, January 24, at 10:00 a.m. PST. The announcement blog has been updated. Please be aware that early closure is still a possibility if the destination realms fill up. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

    Hey, I hotfixed this. Should be live soon. Thanks for mentioning! (Dave_Maldo)
    BAD NEWS! Data was fixed but when pushed LIVE made a mess. T_T Have to wait for a patch & new tech/DB crawl. (Dave_Maldo)

    Xmog question. Thoughts on opening up FoS for Vanilla GM PvP Gear account wide? Have the FoS on my priest, want to Xmog Pally.
    Up to item peeps. Doesn't seem to jive w/ their current thinking but who knows. (Dave_Maldo)

    Any chance of us ever being able to do Dragon Soul LFR higher than 85? Really nice xmog sets in there!
    Unlikely that it'll just be opened up as is, but future system changes may make such viable. Until then, grab some friends! (Dave_Maldo)

    Still xmog query, what about making tier sets complete. Like dk tier 10.25 or warrior tier 10.5?
    I often pester the poor item peeps about that sort of thing. I hope one day we can do a comprehensive cosmetic gear pass. (Dave_Maldo)

    PvP
    will there be a new mount available with the achieve "glorious combatant"? Just got my tiger & love love love it.
    Unfortunately, there won't be. It's going to be a little unorthodox content-wise. (Source)
    thank you for the reply!
    The idea behind them is that since they are character only, you may want to do it next season for an alt. (Source)
    will there be an adjustment so I can solo pve mobs easier or will I have to collect a pve set to do pve things? I assume the latter
    Even at ilevel 522 the PvP gear is pretty good for killing world mobs. But the new PvP gear will have a higher ilevel. (Source)

    I know WoD brings a new PvP zone, are we going to see any new bg maps? Not a new game type but maybe (ex) AB gameplay but new map?
    We're focusing our bg efforts for launch on the tools side (so we can make bgs faster) and creating Ashran. (Source)

    Is it in the plans to add a 500k and 1 million hk's achievement by the launch of WoD?
    We won't add those until we find a good way to fix the HK farming that goes on in battlegrounds like IoC. (holinka)

    Iron Skyreaver - Exclusive Mount Now Available
    The Skyreaver was added to the Battle.Net shop yesterday.

    The Iron Skyreaver is now available for purchase from within the Battle.net Shop and the in-game Shop! Once purchased, the mount will be available to all present and future characters on a single Battle.net account.

    I think Dave missed the point there. The point is that DS LFR had unique colour schemes on the gear, and since we can't do DS LFR at 86 or above, we can't get those colours, leaving 1 level out of 90 where that gear is available.

    For that ban wave and program they use, it is like what they use to duel box, program that just copies key strokes or have same macro?

    Most likely Human female, seeing Draenei and Blood Elves are not as high a priority.
