Blizzard's October 8 build made the new City of Dalaran dungeon available for testing. A subsequent GamesRadar report described Horde players entering Dalaran after completing the dungeon quest “Heart of Disruption” and obtaining a Dalaran Sewer Key, followed by the “Shrewd Negotiations” quest.
What is reported
The report says guards become neutral after the quest sequence and that Horde players can explore the city, although some NPC services may remain unavailable. This is a media report based on beta observations, not an official Blizzard confirmation that every aspect is intended behavior.
What to watch
- Whether the access remains after future beta builds.
- Which city NPCs and services are available to each faction.
- Whether Blizzard clarifies the intended story and faction implications.
For now, treat this as a developing beta behavior and avoid presenting it as a permanent faction rule.
