Developer Q&A: The important news as it happens

Blizzard's live Q&A happened this afternoon, and while most of the content covered was stuff we already knew about, there were a few items that were clarified and explained better. We've collected these items below in an easy to understand list.

Keep in mind that these Q&As are geared towards a wider audience than just those that read sites like WoW Insider or Wowhead; thus the questions and answers tend to be a little less than exciting for us. But still, this is all good info.

Big Items

• Blizzard was working on WoD before MoP was released.

• Blizzard has really strong ideas on what they want their next expansion to be.

• They didn't do a good enough job at transitioning the team to the next expansion, but did a good job at getting MoP patches out.

• The Blizzard Gear Store will soon have Murloc mugs (thanks to Lore for answering this).

Lore Items

• Draenor is 35 years ago. This is confirmation of the timeline.

• Vol'jin will have Shadow Hunters in WoD.

Garrisons

• You'll be able to get outposts at level 100 in every WoD zone

• Followers will be deactivated, not removed entirely.

• You can reactivate up to one follower per-day.

• Garrisons will remain per-character, but some buildings will be account wide.

Professions

• Largest changes to professions in any expansion

• Your two professions will get reduced cooldowns with the correct garrison buildings

• You'll be able to create buildings for every profession in the game, they will not let you craft the absolute best items

Legendary

• No rep grind

• No PvP requirement
