So just like they did for WoW->TBC, we're going to soon be getting a TBC-WotLK patch that will bridge the gap between them.

YAYAYAYAYAY

For those who cannot read the WoW forums:

With the release of Wrath of the Lich King approaching, we wanted to provide you with some important information. In preparation for the expansion, we will be issuing a new content patch in the coming weeks. Much like the patch made available shortly before The Burning Crusade's release, this content patch is designed to bridge current game content with that of the expansion and will contain some exciting changes and additions.

We have outlined some of the larger features scheduled to release with the patch below:

* New class spells and talents.
* Barbershops in capital cities.
* Zeppelin towers outside of Orgrimmar and Tirisfal Glades.
* Stormwind Harbour.
* In-game guild calendar.
* Hunter pet skill revamp.
* New profession: Inscription.
* Two brand-new Arenas featuring challenging new layouts, terrain hazards, and moving obstacles:
o Orgrimmar Arena.
o Dalaran Arena.

As mentioned above, this is not a comprehensive list, just some of the major highlights. We’ll post the full patch notes as soon as they’re available.

Regarding Inscription, please note that all Burning Crusade players will be able to select Inscription as one of their two professions and level up to a skill level of 375 with it. Upon the release of Wrath of the Lich King, players who purchase and install the expansion will be able to continue leveling in Inscription and the other professions beyond 375.

Makes you wonder what it will do to the whole dynamic of raiding......

For example, Feral Druids defence will all come from talents. So if we get the new talents and spells then, this would mean a totally different gear setup and feel. Same across all the classes.

Well it's gotta change at some point, and I know that I will play around with my talents to try the new warlock stuff :)

I pray that they take over a month on the PTRs for this patch, because I can say from experience that half the stuff they want to put in with that patch is currently incomplete, bugged, broken, or otherwise not ready for the live realms... mind you, they've never released something that was utterly messed up, so we should be okay...

Ive only been playing since 2.3 anyways, so I never saw the change from preTBC to TBC :p

It will be interesting to see just how well it does bridge the gap, as the beta has just made me jump in at the deep end with all the new stuff... Looking forward to another crafting profession though!

The towers need a rebuild because there will be three Zeps in WotLK - the third one will be going to the new area(s) that WotLK will introduce.

Maybe they will get the crews working properly this time? :)

Sounds interesting, looking forward to it.

That being said, I'm still horrified by what has WotLK done to holy priests :-/
