In an interview with AusGamers at BlizzCon, World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor senior art director Chris Robinson revealed that a playable murloc class has been closer to development than you might think, and that it's not off the table yet.
He also spoke a lot about many other things.
AusGamers: How long until someone can actually roll a murloc character?
Chris: It’s been shockingly close several times.
AusGamers: That would get me into the game, one hundred percent!
Chris: [laughs] You’re not the only one, there’s a lot of people.
Murlocs are great. We’ve talked about it. There are no concrete plans at this point, but it’s definitely not something that we’ve taken off of the table.
The full interview talks about World of Warcraft coming full-circle as far as Warcraft lore and forward momentum goes, how integral and indelible the community is in shaping the game's direction, what it means to build emotive worlds and much, much more.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
