HAHAHA
Now we know how they are gonna keep the sub number up for 2nd Quarter. ALL with sub can play MOP beta
Desperate much BLizzard?
PPL know the real state of the LIVE game tho.
This is the first time I've said this since... Vanilla. Buy ALL the gold sinks!
That Daily Blink is epic.
We've got a bright one here, folks. As if it didn't clearly state at the beginning of the news post that you wouldn't be able to access MoP content on the PTR, it's not like we could use, oh, just the last 3 expansions as an indicator that you're wrong.
Smells like raging PvPer in here.

Took a while to get through the daily blink. Had to sing it instead of read.
Great, now the AH farmers will be the only one with a chance of getting anything at the black market AH.
And it will make a ton of others buy gold so they can get a chance.
And the spellbook needs to at least have options on how to display it if they keep it as it is in the beta, it's messy as hell. The old version worked fine..
no one is going to buy gold... even if it was 5 bucks for 10k, that is still 500 dollars to gold cap.
how many people do you know are willing to pay 500 bucks for a mount they could get by runnin a raid.....
while there are definitely people who can easily afford to do this, do you have any idea how easy it would be to track gold buying that much gold.. oh hey, this guy just gold capped in 1 week, lets check out his logs... hmm... 50 sales of linen cloth at 20,000 gold each.. yup.. ban
Tyler, it will likely be so in either case early on, but I think this feature is basically designed as an attempt to flush out their gold of the economy, at first :P
I knew it, August release for Pandaria if they are putting it onto the ptr already

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy". They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” --John Lennon
McFrotton TOLD everyone MID-LATE JULY RELEASE AHAHAHAH.
That they are transitioning to MoP PTRs doesn't mean that the PTRs will go online anytime soon.
My poor wizard voice actor, back to acting for blood elves!
You are right in that regardless of the date that they press the cd's you can expect to still have to download a patch on release day because of changes they make after the unofficial close of beta, defined as enough core assets of MoP having been tested, which should not be confused with when the beta actually ends.
That being said, they are not at the point yet in Beta that enough of the core assets have been tested considering lvl 90 was just made available this week.
And when they are at that point there is still, and always will be, a two month delay for pressing the cd's and shipping them etc and the best recent example of that is Diablo III whose May release date was announced in March.
So, once again, for those slow to catch on - july release out of the question - august release unlikely unless they are prepared to releaseMoP with as many significant bugs / delayed content as D3, September release a better than 50% probability with Oct being their back-up date if they come across major issues.
It's not rocket science.

Why is that? some people have multiple toons capped on gold. I knew a guy who was at over a million in the middle of Wrath, 6-ish months prior to Cata, and since you could have made massive gold at the start of Cata as well...I'm sure lots of people have a million on a few toons.
woooo yeah! My account is currently inactive, but I can still mess around on PTR till MoP launches
Thelan Songweaver sounds suspiciously like Wrathion in disguise.. not that it would make much sense if it really was.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
