Blinded Iraq war vet raids with a little helpBornakk announces region free test servers

Bornakk announced last night that we can expect what could be a fun change for this and future PTRs: the US, Korean, and EU servers will share test realms. We might speculate that this could be delaying the release of the PTRs despite the fact that we have the notes and the patch in hand, though it is, of course, possible that it's the problems with the live servers right now as well. Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how this changes the test dynamic as testing goes forward. There's been some questions in the past over which region's raid groups are better, so it might be fun to see if they decide to duke it out over the new Sunwell content face-to-face. It might be fun to see if some multi-region arena tourneys get set up as well. Even on the casual side, some of us have overseas internet friends who play on different servers than us by necessity, so it should be great to meet up with them and kill a few monsters or do a few dailies together.
Of course, before we get to see if anything fun comes out of this, we'll have to make it on the PTRs. We'll be sure to tell you as soon as we see them up and running!

This would be awesome. I play on the US server but I'm in the UK, and I'd love to be able to do something with some of my friends over here that play.

I hope this is for something in the future, maybe full live cross region servers??
One and only thing I hate about EU servers is that while most people speak english, it isn't good native english. Jokes, sarcasm, etc. gets messed up and everything which you say ends up having to be ultra serious and to the point.
I would just join a US server, but to be honest - I can't be bothered to start fresh! I would transfer gold and items on an alt if I started on a mixed region server.

I have an American account with an EU version could someone please tell me how I can get the EU PTR files when I cant log in trough the EU PTR site thing? I really want to see this ASAP. :)

Wow what an amazing idea. It's not like we had to wait 2 years to enter the usual EU PTR
Neat idea I suppose.

For this time around, all arenas, and battlegrounds are closed off to encourage the testing of WSG, so we won't be seeing any across-the-world arena matches.
