    To be fair, WoW wouldn't be the first MMO to go with a subscription and an item store. The Secret World was the last one as I recall, wasn't overly game breaking.

    Hmmm Iron Chimera.... maybe a reward from the pre event they mentioned during a panel of us slaughtering orcs spewing forward from the dark portal.

    Actually that would make a lot of sense. If you assume they're aiming for a june/july release for WoD, and they want to stagger releases for a continuous income stream, than a February release for the D3 expansion would line up perfectly.

    -Iron- Chimera. I think it is from the pre-WOD event

    Yeah go to lotro, the mmo that receives content in one year that is about half the amount of content of one wow patch. Go to lotro, the game that is now releasing a 40-euro expansion with just 10 levels of quest content and some scenarios (they call it "big battles") and NOTHING more (they confired there won't be _ANY_ raids or dungeons). Go to lotro, the game that on that "expansion's" release is dumbing down all of it's classes to 3-button clueless-approved shits.
    You get the point, if you are going to play any other mmo than WoW, don't pick lotro now, it is a total waste of time and potentially/likely money. Was once a great game but Turbine/WB deserve to burn for what they have done to it / the monstrosity they turned it in to.

    do they usually get data-mined before the CE annoucement?

    I was just thinking about this and realized that Deadwind Pass was not really updated at all during cata. The events in Northrend with Malygos and the Ley Lines(remember they ran under kara). Malygos' actions with the lines would have drastically altered kara and the energies that surrounded it.

    My mind says its a scenario, my heart says its a preview of the new "scaled down" feature they are working on. It might be a bit too soon for that though, so I dont have any expectations

    Purchasable Heirlooms is my guess.

    "yeah the other files around it with the same naming convention show other discussions, jaina, anduin etc Likely not a raid revamp!" -- Olivia Grace, WoWInsider

    My guess is that it's part of the pre-WoD invasion event.

    I was going to say in before people see the store icons and over-react like always =/

    Wonder if the item shop will end up being similar to the one in GW2, only that you also have to pay monthly fees and for each expansion.

    Not sure if the MoP CE mount was datamined before the announcement, but it was already added to the game in the pre-expansion patch, and was already available to players that bought the digital CE.

    Yeah, there is no way this goes live. This would be the biggest buff the game had ever seen. It has to be a typo.

    If it did, I fully expect every single priest who complained about Ring of Peace, at any point or any iteration, to complain about the new barrier.

    Pet is called treasure goblin. My bet is on RoS CE and I'm really excited it could release sooner than expected

    There would be 0 point to bringing anything besides Disc priests.

    Everytime you would use a CD like tranq Healing tide you just clump and take 0 dmg, my guess is it meant to say 10% which would just be hilarious at this point.
