Sometime today we’ll be pushing new data to the PTR Tournament realm and once the update is made, players will now randomly spawn into one of the following locations upon character creation: more after the break

Northshire
Stormwind
Coldridge Valley
Ironforge
Shadowglen
Crash Site
Valley of Trials
Razor Hill
Sen’jin Village
Orgrimmar
Camp Narache
Deathknell
Sunstrider Isle

Eventually, we plan to have many more spawn locations than what’s listed above but we also intend to remove capitol cities from the list of spawn points. Additionally, we plan for all vendor locations to have three of every vendor available with the exception of the armor vendor, in which case there will remain one. For today’s push this will only be true for the racial starting zones and the vendors outside of capital cities.

Please also note, that capital cities will only have vendors outside the city limits, and only have battlemasters within the city. This is done for all capital cities for today’s push except for Exodar. There will be a fight promoter at every spawn location where players can:

Bind to the location.
Teleport to a capital city (teleport to Exodar temporarily disabled since it’s unavailable)

Our ultimate goal is going to be having vendors in every immediate town surrounding a capital city. Using Stormwind as an example, Northshire, Goldshire, and Sentinel Hill in Westfall will eventually all be filled with vendors.

Lastly, the next build will involve the wiping of all existing characters. The purpose behind the character wipe is as follows:

There is a new character template and it needs testing.
We want to continue to test random spawning.
We want to test the spawn locations.

With that being said, upon character creation a basic set of items equipped, and from there you will be able to further customize your character via the vendors.

Thanks to everyone who have both tested and provided feedback, as it’s been invaluable![ Post edited by Eyonix ] (src)
