Blizzard released a new WoW Source episode today. WoW Source is their interview / showcase type show where they shed some light on Warlords of Draenor and answer a few community questions. This time they talk about PvP, Ashran and a little about class changes.
It looks like players won’t be able to choose the location of their garrison anymore! The main reason seems to be that garrisons are now much more integrated in the leveling flow. For the horde it will be located in Frostfire Ridge and for the alliance in Shadowmoon Valley. Both their starting zones respectively.

@WarlockSoL @CM_Zarhym @sdschimke Horde is in Frostfire Ridge and Alliance is in Shadowmoon Valley.

Watcher (Ion Hazzikostas), who was also in the WoW Source episode, announced there will be a lot of information about raiding and the philosophy behind it for WoD next week!
We’ll have a lot more information about raid structure and philosophy next week. In the meantime, please try to avoid jumping to conclusions — Watcher (@WatcherDev) April 22, 2014
LFR is an important part of the endgame in our eyes; it’s the only way many players can see the content, and power progression is essential. — Watcher (@WatcherDev) April 22, 2014
