What was the idea with Monk healing? What mix of elements inspired it and defined it?
Greg Street: Mostly we wanted it to feel different from existing healers, so there is an emphasis on a channeled spell as the main heal. We also wanted to emphasize movement and damage-dealing to heal, because those were core to the monk class.
Were Orges ever thought of as a playalbe race, at one time?
GhostCrawler: Yep. We considered them for Cataclysm instead of goblins. Figuring out the females and the two-headed mages would be (fun!) challenges. Maybe someda

Theramore's Fall: Scenario Preview and Interview with Christie Golden
Theramore's Fall
is now live on US servers! It will run from September 17th to the 24th for level 85s. We've got previews of the scenario for each faction, all rewards, and an interview with Christie Golden, author of
Tides of War
, who worked with the quest team to design this scenario!
This post is pretty spoiler-heavy, so turn back now if you don't want to learn the outcome.

, players can queue up at 85 for
Theramore's Fall
, a new scenario. The scenario can be later completed by level 90 players in Mists of Pandaria.
Theramore will eventually be changed permanently to its post-battle state in a future patch--but you'll only see it now if you've completed the sceanrio.
Jaina has a new in-game model after the attack on Theramore: the harmful magic from Garrosh's bomb on Theramore turns her hair permanently white. Check out the

Theramore's Fall Unlocked Today, September 17th
Edit: The scenario is now live on US servers and our

is up!
Kaivax and Bashiok just updated the forums that Theramore's Fall, the MoP Pre-release scenario, is hitting US servers today
instead
of tomorrow, as originally planned.
It is now live in Europe
and will be on US servers starting at
6 pm EST

For US servers it will be unlocked today in the afternoon.
Based on Bashiok's twitter, it seems that EU will get the scenario slightly earlier than the US!
It's tied to relative timezones and giving each region the same amount of time with it. EU will unlock first.
When it goes live, we'll have a preview of the scenario with screenshots and a video! Here's what we know so far from forum posts and datamining.

Mists of Pandaria: Challenge Modes
For the current Challenge Mode guide as of Patch 5.1,
click here
!
When
asked on Reddit
what their most exciting feature was for Mists of Pandaria, Blizzard responded with
Challenge Modes
. This feature has a lot of cool things in store: rewards include mounts and vanity armor, it's content you can't outgear, and it's a great way for skilled players on a limited schedule to access challenging content.
Challenge Mode Overview
Challenge Modes are timed heroic instance runs, done in low ilvl gear. Any gear worn above ilvl 463 will be scaled down. This ensures that running these instances will be challenging even in later tiers--you can't outgear it. In addition, the pulls will be more complex than on Heroic mode.
All nine Mists of Pandaria dungeons will come with Challenge Modes.
Durability will not be affected by running Challenge Modes, since you won't be getting items

Ask Blizzard Anything: Blizzard's Reddit Q&A
Blizzard is following the trend of many gaming companies tonight by taking to Reddit to do their interaction with the community! Tonight Blizzard developers and community team members are going to be hosting a Q&A session through the popular website.
The Q&A is now done and we feel like this was a tremendous one. Blizzard really outdid themselves with transparency, talking extensively about issues they'd previously avoided. The PvE section is especially illuminating. Thanks Blizzard!
Lore
Given what Sylvanas and the Forsaken have been up to regarding the Plague, isn't it inevitable that her desire to "procreate" the undead will bring the Forsaken into direct conflict with all the living factions?
Well, first she'd have to run out of corpses, so from that perspective, the war is REALLY helping the Forsaken out... ;)
This is a good question, because the nature of the Forsaken makes them a really unstable ally. That leads to some great stories. At the moment, Sylvanas is fort

Mists of Pandaria Rare Spawns: Lost and Found Preview
We covered the
rare spawns of Pandaria
a few weeks ago, and thought it was cool how they dropped a bunch of unique vanity items like
重拳先生的铜罗盘
. We thought Blizzard really outdid themselves by returning to some of the detailed insanity of vanilla with quirky rare spawns.
Well, there's more.
For the

Exploration achievement series, you'll loot rare items that are just

Pandaria--pulling them out of trees, opening boxes, exploring caves. It's like hunting for a rare spawns' loot, except the NPC step has been cut out! As for what you'll find:
BoA rare weapons--some with unique models for transmog.
Fun recipes including

Vendor trash like

Useful profession perks like

News Round Up: Shorter Raid Cooldowns, Darkmoon Rabbit, 5.0.4 Class Mechanics
Now that 5.0.4 is live and players have had time to try out the new abilities, there's been many blue posts over the long weekend clarifying class mechanics and procs for abilities, weapons, and trinkets. You may also have noticed that some long cooldowns in 5.0.4 reset between raid encounters like
复生
: there are plans to have even more 5+ minute cooldowns function this same way.
Also of particular note:
The Darkmoon Faire is back in town and brings with it

one lucky player can win. Everyone in the raid is awarded
