The Legion alpha is full of plenty of new quests, zones, class halls and more -- including a wide variety of new Battle Pets to fight, capture, purchase and discover.

Arms Warriors are finally playable on the Legion alpha.

Everyone wants to be a hero -- or rather, everyone is the hero by default in World of Warcraft.
