    Slobbering should be an ability for the Battle pet

    Augh, when does this go live? I just got a friend to agree to start playing seriously the day before they announced the change. Will I get the new stuff if she doesn't pay for the account until after this stuff goes live?

    Why is everyone mentioning WoW 10th anniversary? It's the 9th this year starting on Nov 18th.

    WTF? Wow. I MADE that man. Did you even bother to read the content in my post, rather than just looking at the pic and going and complaining about it? Seriously. I blatantly said it was a bug with the mmo-champion model viewer that allowed me to do it, and I took a few screenshots for everyone else to see it too. Try learning to read in future. /facepalm.

    That's why I listed my country as the UK.

    Um Claude buddy. You sure you got the build # correct ?

    Cause I tried my PTR build downloader script for 17841 and come up with nothing.

    Trying it with 17481 and I got data :P

    Which makes more sense since the last live build is 17345 so 17481 presents not such a large jump

    The worst part is that you can't change your battle.net country anymore since they want to see your ID or drivers licence.

    Because BlizzCon hasn't happened yet. Why would they use their biggest ace BEFORE their own Con?

    The Dark Below was a fake, and even if it wasn't, they wouldn't talk about their next expansion prior to the announcement at BlizzCon.
