World of Warcraft Patch 4.1.11 Preview
Random Guild Finder
As the popularity of the Guild Advancement system continues to rise, we realize an increasing number of players feel that the experience of finding an adequate guild continues to be daunting. To address this, were introducing an all-new Random Guild Finder! Players may use this new feature to queue for automatic guild placement. Youll be placed with a random guild at the click of a button, allowing you to partake in whatever content they may or may not be doing. After being placed, youll receive a cooldown which will not allow you to leave the guild, or for them to remove you from the guild, for fourteen days. Get to know your new friends! Were sure theyll enjoy getting to know you. If the guild youre automatically placed in does not exist on your current realm youll be automatically charged for a paid realm transfer and moved there.
Appearance Tab
Acknowledging the continued requests of our players, an Appearance tab has been added to the game! The Appearance tab will finally, at long last, allow players to customize the look of their non-combat pets. Simply summon a non-combat pet and use the Appearance tab to change its look to that of any of the other non-combat pets you own. Summon, customize, and play!
General

Players in capital cities will receive a 2-hour debuff Homebody that increases damage taken and reduces damage and healing given by 10% for every 10 minutes theyre within city limits. We hope this encourages something.
