    Looks awesome and it seems Blizz is holding their promise about fast content patches and that makes me excited! ^_^

    Looks sick, hope it takes another month or two though - would like to have current content cleared / take a short break before this launches :3

    Was anyone else reminded of Horatio Caine in that CSI Miami episode where he is like, "I'm the thread king. (Glasses on). The thread king..." YEAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! Dun dun duh dun.

    Color me underwhelmed. The last time they said they were this excited about what they had in store for us we got.....firelands dailies.

    Because it has a courtyard? I am confused.

    Arthas is dead and gone. Heck even if he did resurrect he would be a sissy since his weapon is broken and Bolvar stole his helm.

    Hmm not sure I like the date. Seeing how even normal mode progression fares at the moment, let alone heroic, I can't help but feel that they are invalidating the first tier once again way to early, especially considering that progress during the next two weeks will be rather slow thanks to all the festive crap:P.

    Well early january it said PTR 5.2? so i'd say at the earliest March and at the latest May, so around march/may before u even see 5.2 so u have around 3,5 months still to clear tier 14, however I could be wrong but normally I thought a PTR patch especially when it contains a raid stays on the PTR anywhere from 3,4 months.

    Oh joy.

    In all seriousness, if this is anything like Ulduar/ICC in terms of several wings, I will start raiding. [besides LFR]

    new raid will probably be great looks epic on scale =D
