Talk:Warlords of Draenor beta timeline

Why does this page exist?
I've created this page, as the article states, to document developments during the beta. Having taken part in the MoP beta, I saw some fascinating, memorable and hilarious events, bugs and exploits unfold within that period of time. Now, I look around and find there is no documentation of any of those very record-worthy events.

I've marked this page as 'silly' because I understand that charting brief fluctuations in the development of the beta is not a necessary or vitally important task, and because many of the events that may come to be documented here will be relatively comical retellings of exploits and infamous player behaviour. While this content may be too trivial for the main WoD page itself, it is my opinion that the information can and hopefully will provide very interesting and entertaining reading, both for those who experienced these events and for those who didn't.

Events like the ongoing Jade Witch bug that had half the server stuck in the first half of the Jade Forest questline, or the hunter exploit that let them stampede a hundred pets at once (and saw single hunters taking on whole battlegrounds of opponents at a time), or the bug that allowed them to summon pets tamed from bosses at the boss's original size - these were hilarious, sometimes frustrating experiences that are worth recording, even if only for Wowpedia buffs like ourselves to spend time poring over in years to come for our own entertainment.

I started this page as a personal project, but hopefully people will join in and help build it up with worthwhile bites of information. Alas, I'm not in the beta myself, and therefore my knowledge of events is limited to the forums and twitter - making group contribution even more useful.

Obviously we don't need to chart every flicker and tweak, but memorable, significant and entertaining developments are welcome, even if fairly brief. The page is what we make it, but I'd personally rather make something to remember than let these precious memories slip into the past entirely uncharted. -- Taohinton (talk) 04:47, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
