My server isn't on the list and the only other one I have an old character on keeps kicking me off 
Hammer, you'll probably need to go on to respec your character(s) with the new changes etc
Damn, I was looking forward to playing a bit this afternoon. Ach well, food time instead. | |

Mage and Warrior will both be going on leveling builds (Fire and Arms respectivly).
Really not sure what to do with my Pally - Holy has had it's talents fucked around with and while we'll still be awesome healers, there are problems with mana, seals and judgements are kind of messed up for Holy and Flash of Light has been nerfed for 70+.
Ret and Prot have apparently been buffed big time, and since I've tried and failed to enjoy Ret, Prot may be the way forward, but then I'll be up against DK, Warriors and Bears for tanking places.
*sigh* what to do, what to do.... | |

protadins don't have the same appeal they used to, i'd stay prot with your warrior. as much as holy may have been nerfed it's still not exactly bad. | |

Eeesh. WoW Achievements have turned WoW into Super-Crack.
I know already a few of my guild mates who are obsessive about Epics/Mounts etc are going to end up playing 24/7 just to get silly trophies and things.
I think a lot of them are kind of a turn off for casual players as well. | |

Is there anywhere to download the patch other than through the Blizzard Updater thing? It's shite, and i'd be able to get it quicker from somewhere else, i think.
*edit* Or, conversely, anyone know the port that should be open for the Blizzard downloader? It might be because i'm on a router that's making it slower.

List of patch mirrors here. No idea if they are good or not.

I spent a good hour just looking at new stuff.
The new loading screens look alot more animé-like than the originals. | |

It would be nice if the world server would stop going down, i haven't even had time to re-configure my addons never mind look at/do anything.

The best thing I love about this patch is having some low-level herbalists. What used to go for 50s on my server now goes for 10g minimum. | |
