All Races Available in Patch 5.0.4

This includes the enigmatic pandaren, who will become available for play when Mists of Pandaria is released on Tuesday, September 25. We want the entire World of Warcraft community to be able to embrace their inner goblin, blood elf, worgen, draenei, or pandaren from the moment they step foot into the world of Azeroth.

Now, the only hard part will be choosing a name. Who will you be next?

Just to be clear on the announcement, we're making it possible for people to create a character of any race, regardless of what expansions you've purchased. So if you only have the original game (which now has The Burning Crusade included), when patch 5.0.4 hits you'll be able to create goblin and worgen characters as well. And, once Mists of Pandaria is released, you'll be able to create pandaren characters, regardless of whether or not you own Mists of Pandaria.

So it says all races, what about though all classes? Just because Pandaren become available for play regardless if you have MoP or not, does this include the new monk class?
No, you'll need to upgrade your World of Warcraft license to Mists of Pandaria in order to unlock the monk class. The same is true for leveling from 85-90 and gaining access to the continent of Pandaria.

Play WoW: MoP on Retail (blizzard) for Free!

So I notice a lot of people don't even know that you can play retail for free these days,so I thought I'd let them know it's possible.

Blizzard has implemented this new Trial Account system,where you can level until you hit 20 and the only thing that happens then is...your xp get's cut off.So you can keep playing for ever.

While there are massive restrictions to those accounts:
------------------------------------------
No guilds
No talking in trade channels
No auction house
No trading
No mail
10 g gold limit
No whispering people that are not on your friends list
------------------------------------------

People seem to ignore the fact that there is an entire F2P community on Aerie Peak US,Doing RBattlegrounds,premades,arenas and well some of them might just help you gear up

All you need to do is download the F2P Chat Addon,which will automatically join the f2p chat channel once you log in,and add all the online twinks to your friends list so you can /w them.

Addon: http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/f2paddon

Basically, it's the old 10days trial accounts made permanent.

Have fun.

[Guide] How To Install and Play World Of Warcraft Mist Of Pandaira Beta

Step One:  Download the installer.
Here are the download link
US: eu.media.battle.net.edgesuite.net/downloads/wow-installers/4A4335AC/WoW-5.0.0-Beta-enUS-Installer.exe
GB: eu.media.battle.net.edgesuite.net/downloads/wow-installers/4A4335AC/WoW-5.0.0-Beta-enGB-Installer.exe

Step Two: Rename the installer to "World Of Warcraft Beta Setup" (Don't use the " "!)

Step Three: Make an Account, or if you already have a WoW Retail Account skip this, I prefer a Trail Account to play the Public Test Realms!

Step Four: Enjoy, Play, Test out new abilities, Spells, Talents and much more!

Possible errors:
Error 1: When you launch installer:

An Internal Error Occurred, Please restart. If problems persist contact customer support

SOLUTION: Rename the installer to World Of Warcraft Beta Setup

Error 2:

Unable to find streaming info for "Data\enGB\expansion4-speech-enGB.MPQ". (OpenRepackTarget::Validate)

SOLUTION:
Uninstall the Expansion, and reinstall, if that doesn't work contact blizzard.




Error 3: When you try to login you either Disconnect or it says a error:

There was a problem logging in with this account.
You may not have a World Of Warcraft game attached to your account, or you may be logging into a region different from the one you created the account in. If you continue having trouble, please contact customer support.

SOLUTION: Apperently there is no solution for that, the only solution is to wait, when you tried Mist of Pandaria before it will probably work!

This is the latest response from Customer Support:
Greetings,

Thank you for your contact.

Unfortunately you cannot log onto the public test realm using a starter edition of World of Warcraft. You need an active retail account with actual play time to join the testing; the starter edition does not have this.

For more information on the public test realm, please see this support article:

Please let us know if you require further assistance.
