Thanks to Robert for pointing out to us that a translation of an interview from a Chinese World of Warcraft fansite has been posted over at the Battle.net forums. The interview features 10 questions with quite some interesting new information in it. Here's a snip:

Will undead be involved in WOW, and to what extent will players be able to transform their characters to undead?
Well, the undead creatures form an essential part to any RPG game; certainly they were a playable as a race in WarCraft III. What I can tell you is that they do exist in World of WarCraft, and will be playing a big part in the game.

And since I couldn't decide which part was the most interesting, here's a second snip:

We see “guild owned cities” in Shadowbane. The cities could be destroyed by other guilds. Will we see similar player housing in WOW?
Certainly, that is the concept behind Shadowbane; at the moment, we’re still working on the player housing for World of WarCarft, but it’s not anything quite like Shadowbane. We will have community development areas set up - the focus will be geared towards letting the player earn and build up structures, such that these player housings become an extension of the player and adds to character development.
