Custom-designed Choppers from the world-renowned bike designer Paul Teutul Jr. of Discovery Channel reality TV show American Chopper fame are making their way to WoTLK Gold . If this announcement shocked you You're not alone. We caught up with Paul Jr. himself and Blizzard today on the eve of PAX East to try to find the meaning behind it all.
"For us, it's not a new concept because what we're offering in comparison to businesses like Blizzard is innovative marketing. Everyone is asking 'How can this work?' and through our content, we make it clear," Paul Jr. stated. "For me I find this to be much more appealing than some of the work we've created that has been highly successful. The thing I love about this is that it energizes the fan base. From perspective of creative it allows us to create something that bridges the gap between fantasy and reality. It's not similar to this."
"I had complete creative freedom And that's not even a lie" -Paul Jr. Paul Jr.

Talking to P2Pah Paul Jr.--who also designed a custom bike to accompany Gears of War 3--explained that Blizzard has never tried to limit on his vision of what Horde as well as Alliance bikes could look like. He added that this kind in freedom is unprecedented for such a well-known and valuable brand like WOW WoTLK Classic Gold.
