About the Mekkatorque PvP Server

As part of our Warlords of Draenor beta testing, we’ve opened up a new server with some special rules. The Mekkatorque (PvP) server is intended to provide a strong environment for PvP testing. Here’s how it works:

When you create a character on Mekkatorque, it will automatically be boosted to level 100 and given a full set of level 100 PvP gear – no template creation necessary! However, you will not be able to access any of the new zones or dungeons available on the other beta servers (with the exception of Ashran, once it’s ready for testing).

Of course, we still encourage you to try out all the new content coming in Warlords, too. For that, you’ll need to create a level 90 template character (or copy an existing level 90 character) on either the Lost Isles (PvE) or Gilneas (PvP) servers.

Mekkatorque is also a great place for theorycrafters to test level 100 mechanics, such as with the variety of target dummies setup in Shattrath (the old one in Outland).

With today’s new build, we’re activating Ashran on the Mekkatorque PvP server! As the rest of Draenor remains inaccessible on Mekkatorque, we’re also opening up some temporary portals to the Ashran staging areas in Stormwind and Orgrimmar. You'll find the the portal to Stormshield next to the Auction House in Stormwind’s Trade District, and the portal to Warspear near Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar’s Valley of Strength.
