Cross-language battlegrounds, Karazhan new boss ?

This change will affect both Battlegrounds and Arenas. Players from realms of different languages will only face each other as opponents in battle and will not be playing on the same faction in Battlegrounds, which will ensure that those playing on your side will speak the same language as you.<br /><br />Please note that not all Battlegroups will be merged with another, and this feature will not be affecting the Russian-language Battlegroup. More details on this upcoming change will be provided as development nears completion. <br /><br />To clarify, people from another language realm will only be opponents. Opponents may also be from your realm or other realms with the same language as you. </div><span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div></div><br /><br /><font size="3" style="line-height: 1.3em;"><b>Europe - 24/10 New realms: Azuremyst and Terokkar</b></font><br /><div class="blizzquotewrap"><div class="blizzquoteinner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span><div class="blizzquoteheader"><span>Quote from: <b>Thundgot (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/6425493582-2410-new-realms-azuremyst-and-terokkar.html" target="_blank" style="color: white;">Source</a>)</span></b></div><div class="blizzquote"><span style="color: white;"><b>The basics</b></span><br />Realm names: Azuremyst and Terokkar<br />Language: English<br />Realm type: Normal (PvE)<br />Battlegroup: Ruin<br />Migration: No<br />Realm forums:<br />Azuremyst: <a href="http://forums.wow-europe.com/board.html?forumId=7100898" target="_blank"><span style="color: white;">http://forums.wow-europe.com/board.html?forumId=7100898</span></a><br />Terokkar: <a href="http://forums.wow-europe.com/board.html?forumId=7100897" target="_blank"><span style="color: white;">http://forums.wow-europe.com/board.html?forumId=7100897</span></a><br /><br /><span style="color: white;"><b>In more words</b></span><br />Today we're opening two new English Normal/PvE realms, named Azuremyst and Terokkar, in the Ruin Battlegroup.

The cap will be raised over the coming days as the population spreads out more. </div><span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div></div><br /><br /><font size="3" style="line-height: 1.3em;"><b>WotLK World Event - New boss in Karazhan ?</b></font><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;">This is NOT active on live servers for the moment</span>. It looks like one of the upcoming phase of the WotLK world event will feature a new boss located in Karazhan: Prince Tenris Mirkblood. Tenris is part of <The San'layn>. The San'layn is a faction of darkfallen, renegade elves from Quel'Thalas under the rule of the Lich King. <br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The quest</span><br /><b>Chamber of Secrets</b><br />The Argent Dawn Emissary wants you to search the chamber of Tenris Mirkblood within the Servant's Quarters of Karazhan.<br /><br /><b>Description</b><br />Excellent, an experienced adventurer. Precisely what we need. There has been talk from the Kirin Tor guarding Medivh's tower that something is amiss with Karazhan. There is a new power lurking within, one that answers neither to the Guardian's magic nor the Legion. From what they've scouted, it appears it is an elven prince called Tenris Mirkblood, and there is reason to believe he serves the Scourge.<br /><br />Go, my friend, investigate Mirkblood's chamber, and return with any information you might find.<br /><br /><b>Rewards</b><br />Item #40354, unknown for the moment. <br /><br />This quest is indeed in game and you can actually take a look at it by using the following command (but you won't be able to link it in chat until it's active on servers) : /script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Murlocs are awesome, this quest too: \124cffffff00\124Hquest:12616:70\124h[Chamber of Secrets]\124h\124r");<br /><br />Prince Tenris Murkblood is also in game but you can't spawn him for the moment (and won't be until it's "unlocked" in the event). According to the last datamining I did on beta servers this is how he looks : <br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/tenrismirkblood.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/tenrismirkblood_small.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></div><br />The quest seems to be given by an Argent Dawn Emissary near Karazhan. It doesn't look like this NPC is activated on live servers but there was another interesting change here; the gate in the crypt behind the tower is now functional.. but not to players, only zombies can use it ! However in the current state of the event you won't be able to go past the gate, even after opening it as a zombie.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/karazhangate_1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/karazhangate_1_small.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/karazhangate_2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/karazhangate_2_small.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/karazhangate_3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/karazhangate_3_small.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></div><br />This crypt has been here since the beginning of the game and inside is a zone named The Well of the Forgotten. This zone is NOT new and it was here even before the release of the Burning Crusade. We're still unsure if the fact that zombies can open the gate is a coincidence due to them being friendly with "monsters" factions, or if it will be used in the WotLK event.<br /><br />Below is an exploration movie and a few screenshots of the zone on a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">non-official server</span>, if this zone is indeed activated on live servers you will obviously find monsters and other nice things here. <br /><br /><div align="center"><object width="450" height="338"><param name="movieID" value="http://static2.filefront.com/ffv6/player/vp_embed.swf?v=82148312145762;/fileinfo.html" title="welloftheforgotten.avi">welloftheforgotten. avi</a></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/WoWScrnShot_102408_131157.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/WoWScrnShot_102408_131157.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/WoWScrnShot_102408_131302.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/WoWScrnShot_102408_131302.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/WoWScrnShot_102408_131348.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/WoWScrnShot_102408_131348.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/WoWScrnShot_102408_131419.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/WoWScrnShot_102408_131419.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/WoWScrnShot_102408_131436.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/WoWScrnShot_102408_131436.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/WoWScrnShot_102408_131520.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/WoWScrnShot_102408_131520.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/WoWScrnShot_102408_131535.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/WoWScrnShot_102408_131535.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/WoWScrnShot_102408_131554.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/WoWScrnShot_102408_131554.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/WoWScrnShot_102408_131608.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/WoWScrnShot_102408_131608.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/WoWScrnShot_102408_131640.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/october/small/WoWScrnShot_102408_131640.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></div><br />The second part of this news is 80% of speculation and you shouldn't jump to conclusions before seeing it in game. The quest however is definitely in the game files and really looks like it will be used during the event.
