Gorgrond was fully populated back during PAX, albeit with primarily [PH] NPCs. Nagrand was empty, as expected. Tried to get to Talador, but couldn't find a viable route.

Hope they add the Devouring Sea for Draenor and even the Shadowed Seas.
Brokenrock Mountains would be a good place to for a Ogre Camp, and what are the Tanei?

Tanei are supposed to be bark covered humanoids. I don't remember if we saw anything of them yet. Probably native to Tanaan, though, given their name and nature.

[Msi]

Yep we did it folks! GG

[YumYum]

Yes but the fact remains that the stages aren't following a set order and the only thing different from stage to stage is the amount of people invited. For all intents and purposes, "beta" is already here, looking at how much content is available.

One starter zone of one faction, or am I missing something here?

some guy on twich said that the next week the alliance starting zone and 2 new models are coming, not sure if it is true tho.

[apepi]

I could look real quick at the hex for the M2.

Just die as a gnome and count the bones from the death!

[Nivena]

Yep we did it folks! GG

Well, with all the news coming out about the alpha, I really will be surprised if it comes out this year. One zone, old world still has old numbers, crashes happening in the first few quests. This definitely isn't beta, that's for sure. I was hoping after all this time and Blizzard saying during Blizzcon they were further along, they would have more to show for themselves than this. I am glad there is finally testing, but it still seems VERY early in the process.

They are not going to open 5 zones in one go mate, don't know were you get this idea that we get everything in one hit. I get the feeling you ether have never seen a beta before, or you just like qqing about anything because you seem to do that a lot.

Or he had late Beta invites when most zones were already done.

Considering the amount of armor models, character models, NPC models, and garrison stuff we've seen, they are fairly far along. Most of the content in the intial beta of MoP was unfinished, and they redid stuff a lot. Considering this is an alpha, but not a beta, this isn't too bad. It just seems bad since we haven't heard much for a while from Blizzard themselves concerning release dates and alpha/beta completion.

Things will pick up pace now that it's open to some of the public to play, and all of the public to see. They'll have a lot more people on their asses to say "Why isn't this done?" or "I can't test anything because everything's broken".

Yes, but only having one of the 2 starting zones available and locking away one faction from their starter zone is ridiculous. Pretty sure when WotLK beta was out, both Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord were available. I wasn't saying every zone should be open, but only one starter zone, nothing else and the rest of the game isn't tuned to the new numbers is VERY limited.
