Flying has been enabled on Draenor for characters that have attained the account-wide achievement, Draenor Pathfinder.
  • Learn about how to earn this multi-part achievement in our blog post – “Draenor Pathfinder: Prepare for Flying”.
Players are now able to act as a mercenary for the opposite faction in PvP whenever your faction is experiencing a long wait time to get into Ashran or unrated Battlegrounds. Agents of the enemy faction will appear at your base in Ashran (Stormshield for the Alliance, Warspear for the Horde) and allow you to enter Ashran or Battlegrounds disguised as an enemy player, and actually fight as the opposite faction.
While competing as a mercenary, players will automatically have their race changed into one appropriate for the opposite faction. Players will still be able to earn all the same rewards as winning or losing as their original faction (with the exception of faction-specific achievements).
  • Learn about this feature in our blog post “Patch 6.2.2 – PvP Mercenary Mode”.
