Community Watch - Fangtooth on 5/31/05
Today we present you with two movies and a comic. The first movie is about a Night Elf's adventures on a quest
to find someone he lost, the comic shows a perfect example of why one should not think too much about one's
inventory, and the last movie takes place in a galaxy that is not too far away. Check them out!

Under Development Page Update - Ordinn on 5/12/05
The Under Development page has just been updated with a few of the features being implemented next patch!
This content patch includes two highly anticipated Battlegrounds, new quests, and numerous bug fixes. This
post does not list all of the additions, changes, and bug fixes going into the next patch -- we will be releasing
more information as the patch draws closer. Click here to take a look.
Once again, we thank all of you for spending your time with us, and we wish you luck on your adventures in Azeroth.
Public Test Realms Now Open! - Tyren on 5/11/05
The Public Test Realms have reopened, and we invite all World of Warcraft players to participate in the public testing of
patch 1.5, which introduces Battlegrounds to World of Warcraft! Read about the new Battlegrounds and other changes and additions
to the game in the test realm patch notes.
Players can participate in the test realms by creating a character or by copying their characters from existing realms to the test
realms. Those who have previously copied their characters to the test realms will need to do so again, as all previous characters
have been removed from the test realms. To copy your character and to download the test client, visit our
Test Realm Character Copy page.
Please be aware that the test realms allow us to conduct a broad test of major content patches, and based on the results of the
public test, further changes may be introduced before a patch goes live. To read more info about the test realms, please review
the Test Realm FAQ located here. We'd like to thank all of our players who are participating in helping us test the new content
patch, and we look forward to seeing you in game!
Logging into the Public Test Realms
To keep the testing process manageable, not all accounts will be eligible to log on to the public test realms during the
first week of public testing. The criteria for participating on the test realms in the first week is that the player must
have logged in to the live service sometime after April 10, and the player's account must have been created before May 9.
We want to allow players who fall outside these criteria to experience the new content being tested on the public test realms as
well, so if you are not eligible to participate during the first week of testing, please log in to the live service by Sunday,
May 15, and you should be able to join the public test realms from the second week of testing on. The current plan is for the
public test to last several weeks to fully test all aspects of the upcoming Battlegrounds content.
Please be aware that all players, regardless of account activity, will be able to copy characters to the test realms at any time,
and we encourage you to do so ahead of time.

Character Transfers - Ordinn on 5/3/05
Character transfers are now available for the realms listed here. Transfers will be available to players until next Monday, May 9.
PLEASE NOTE: Your character's Honor system rank (calculated each week during the Tuesday maintenance) will transfer to the designated realm. However, if you participate in PvP after the maintenance but prior to transferring your character to the new realm, you will lose the honorable kills and contribution points you earned for that period prior to the transfer. For example, if you log back on to your original realm after the maintenance, earn 40 honorable kills, and then decide to transfer to the new realm, then when you log on to the new realm you'll find that you've maintained your Honor system rank, but you'll have lost the Honor points for the 40 kills. To avoid losing any of your progress toward the next Honor system rank, please be sure to transfer your character to the new realm before you participate in PvP again
