The Warcraft Movie, Farrell Like the Script

So Colin Farrell, who is not confirmed for the Warcraft movie, really like the script. He called it "amazing." He doesn't actually admit to knowing anything about what's going on with it, though.

Looking forward to it, even if it's "Warcraft" and not "World of Warcraft." Yes, it's modeled after the RTS games. Does that matter?

Colin Farrell Really Loves The ‘World Of Warcraft’ Script

Dev Q&A for Warlords of Draenor

Killer interview. Here are some high points.

The character models involve a lot more work than one might expect at first glance, since they have to include features such as hair and the various movement animations. Draenei, Blood elves, Worgen, and Golbins will probably not be included this time around, since they're not so old.

It's kinda time travel, sort of, going back to the older (younger???) Draenor. It's up to players to keep the world from changing. Along the way they'll meet some cool "legendary" characters.

In some games players get a virtual apartment where they can hangout and chat with friends. (I gues syoui could do that in a dungeon instance, but this is cooler.) In Warlords you will get a whole figgin' town. Ok, you have to build and staff and manage it, but still..

Items will be squished, Hit & Expertise will die as will Reforging. New stats will come in as extra stats, but they'll be more fun stats, rather than something which changes the base power level of the gear.

Cool stuff. Here's the whole article.
