I remember playing Disciple of Khaine back in the day and starting on the Islands.. kinda threw me off when I spawned into Norsca.
Are the devs planning on making all the starting areas? or do we just get the Empire and Chaos starting areas and thats all?

The starting areas are working, but dont expect to find many players there. You can either fly there and run back to chapter 1. Or if you didnt bind your book of binding you will be teleported to your race zone if you use it.

All starting areas are ingame and functional. If you want to play and go questing there, that is no problem.
But I think the devs decided to unify Norsca/Nordland as the general starting point to make the area more populated. As RoR's Population is in the hundreds, not in the thousands of WAR live. A good decision if you ask me.

starting in Norsca was done on live as well towards the end but you got an item to teleport you to your own races starting area. For the moment there is no point in moving you there for a number of reasons but if you want to do the quests there, they are fully functional

high elf starting zone. my first memory of WAR.
I was WL, barbarian elf.
all the quests were like 'we are doomed, someone dead, something burned, lost' .
wtf happened to Ulthuan!? already crumbled before start?
and lion... i was looking for method to kill my pet expecting reward.
i remember that bad taste, somehow it's still good memory.
i might try main quests from rally masters, to see story lines. could be interesting

Thanks for the feedback. I ended up dipping out of WAR because of school and stuff so didn't know the starting zones got unified. Nice to know they're still functional. Might just tp there and relive the Dark Elf life =3

Why not put a flightmaster leading to both other zones at each prologue start?
You could restrict it to a normal click-button menu instead of the full map thingy.
You could also put a 1-hour cooldown on going back to the zone you came from.

It makes pretty good sense since the premise of the game is mainly Chaos Horde vs Empire and of the tertiary conflicts, the
Greenskin/Stunty and Fairy Elves/Angst Elves respectively, were called to aid their respective allies/friends because their wars are already raging. By the time you get to the first flight master, you've got enough money for a ticket home anyways (and round trip is free if you remember to bind before you leave).
