Travis (hawkface): Can we expect to see more information at E3 thats in just a couple of weeks?
WoW Insider Jennie: Blizzard won't be at E3, so I don't think so

Travis (hawkface): Do you know if there will be a collector’s edition like TBC had?
WoW Insider Jennie: Don't know for sure, but Blizzard tend to do collectors editions so I'd think there will be one.

(nothingnessinside): Following Warcraft 3 Lore, Will Frostmourne corrupt the player, almost as Corrupted Ashbringer took stats away?
[WoWInsider] Turpster: I don't think that we will see Frostmourne in it's full state, I know at Blizzcon that Metzen joked that they would end up having players become the New Lich King when they picked up the blade, who knows what will happen, when and if it drops

Nick (nicpic10): what’s you favourite thing about wow LK so far?
WoW Insider Jennie: Personally I'm a feral druid with a shaman alt, so I'm really excited about the totem changes. I'm just excited about having new areas to explore and new dungeons to play, and as a tank I’m also really tempted by the Death Knight class. I can't wait

†CøldƒusiønҲ™† (soomld): are gnomes still sexy in wotlk?
[WoWInsider] Turpster: They are Gnomes, they have a Racial Passive to Sexy, plus 5 to lookin' hot!

Fafoon (fangfoo): Will blizz make wow more RP compatible?
WoW Insider Jennie: Someone asked this yesterday at a panel and the answer wasn't too promising. They said they put a lot of environments and objects into the game that can be used for RP already, I think they'll continue that, but you won't see any special RP-interactive objects or the like any time soon.

Travis (hawkface): Have any of you seen the new changeable hair or dances and if so what did you think?
WoW Insider Jennie: Nope, haven't seen them. Turpster did spend forever looking for a barber shop in Orgrimmar though... personally; I wouldn't trust an orc with scissors.

[Xf Helper-Tbc.pl] Kumbol (kumbol): Haha!

|Zs| Hawk (warriorhawk88x): Is there any future for the Warcraft Franchise after Blizz lets us kill Arthas?
[WoWInsider] Turpster: With the comic books, novels, and lets not forget the Movie, the World of World of Warcraft (Yeah, that's a lot of W's) isn't standing still, new heroes are finding their way into the game (I think a favourite King of mine might be making a return to a Stormy City!) so I don't see why we wont have equally compelling reasons to kill some new guy, most likely due to the phat epics that will be dropped!

Nick (nicpic10): do you think that there will be dragons as druid shapeshift? (rumour)
WoW Insider Jennie: Blizzard said yesterday there won't be new shapeshift forms (though they did mention possible new dire cat and dire bear skins). So I don't think a dragon's on the cards.

Nick (nicpic10): what’s your favourite thing about wow LK so far?
[WoWInsider] Turpster: Has to be the new Orcish City, Garrosh is there, and my favourite Orc is there with disturbing news about what is in store for the Orc's capital when Lich King hits the shops!

audigY<=homies got skillz (911trashman): have you heard anything about the battleground?
WoW Insider Jennie: A little bit of information was given today at the PvP panel (We have a writeup on WoW Insider!). The new Northrend BG is called Titan Isle, located off Dragonblight, and switch midfight between attack and defence. It'll also use the vehicle combat system being introduced in WotLK, using vehicles to destroy buildings etc. The theme is Titan lore, much like the rest of Northrend. You enter the BG on a boat, if you're on the attacking side, and break into the city. I'm kinda guessing you capture resources, build better weapons and win, but that's pure conjecture! It's 10v10 or 15v15 but still in play testing so a lot can still change.

Travis (hawkface): If you could narrow WotLK down to the one thing you loved about it. What would it be?
WoW Insider Jennie: New epics!

pandacarp: Is there any info on how many players multiple person mounts can hold?
WoW Insider Jennie: Not really, they've talked about 'a passenger' and 'passengers' at times, i think it'll depend on the mount.

skaterchief: Do the vehicles in PVP seem to overtake the entire point of choosing a class?
WoW Insider Jennie: Possibly, but they'll also allow classes and specs that suck at pvp to take part without having to respec. Blizzard's big goal is accessibility, so this seems in line with that philosophy.

Raein (raein): How were the quests in the alpha?
[WoWInsider] Turpster: They were very much like the quest in TBC, but more varied, I had lots to pick up and attempt, all of them different from another, though I don't think they were as compelling at the Sunwell dailies, there is still time to improve them

Travis (hawkface): Blizzard laying down any hints as to if there will be a cinematic trailer like TBC had?
WoW Insider Jennie: They've been playing nothing but cinematic trailers between panels all weekend so I'd think so.

†CøldƒusiønҲ™† (soomld): how was da wwi 2008 experience
[WoWInsider] Turpster: One Word: Awesome

w!kk!|Alex (wikki11): What do you think: will WOTLK beat (and bring ppl back) Warhammer online?
WoW Insider Jennie: WoW Insider Jennie: Yes, I think it will personally, people always come back to the game when new content is announced and things like having existing friends and guilds keep you playing. Perhaps guilds will defect to WAR but I think WoW will win this battle.

[WoWInsider] Turpster: Thanks very much guys, hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
