- And as usual with big patches the servers are still down. Now im not complaining just stating a fact. But its nice to see all the monkeys on the official wow boards having seisures and threating lawsuits. They just dont understand that this patch is practially a UI overhaul and there we bound to be some issues.
From what I tested on the PTR this patch should make raiding and causal play a lot more "fun". Hopefully the servers wil be up sometime tonight though. Cant wait to have me some fun, -

- I think the problem is the lack of thoughtful honesty on Blizzard's part.
Bring back 'when it's done'. Ya know that phrase they used to say before they lost that great chunk of people in the Vivendi acquisition.

- This patch was well needed. The PvP changes are awesome and I can't wait until the servers are up to gain some honor points so I can spend spend spend!!

- Bugger, 3 months getting my UI exactly the way I liked it. Oh well back to square one!

- Those new talent trees look pretty sweet, but I'm too busy enjoying Phantasy Star Universe at the moment.

- Hmmm.... I may have to re-subscribe to see what all the hype is about. I've been patiently waiting for the expansion to come out before I jumped back on the WoW bandwagon.
Made it to level 59 with my Paladin, and lost my interest in the game.
For starters PvP is given a total redo here, and its a pretty substantial update here folks. For one, the Honor system is now gone, instead we have a new system where Honor earned each day can be used as a sort of currency to buy gear/items. PvP rewards are no longer unique, two new Arenas have been added and can be played in several forms and all current Honor totals are nuked and reset. Everyone will have their talent points refunded to them when they log in tonight, as the talent trees are being revamped and changed for The Burning Crusade and the base game gets some of that loving as well. New abilities and talents are available for all classes.
A new "LFG" or Looking For Group UI thingie has been added to the game, to make things easier to find raid/instance/party partners now. A new improved enchanting UI is here, a new "Spell alert" bar which will show you when enemies are casting spells (default is off), and Auto-Loot is now available without a mod! There is just way to much to list here, seriously its alot of stuff! Its also a rather large patch, clocking in at about 490 megs! So download away (if you haven't already) and prepare to load in to the new improved "Calm before the storm" World of Warcraft. Oh and the server maintenance should be finishing up here within minutes - hopefully.
