People constantly bringing up the whispers when they are so, so ambiguous that they could mean anything will never stop ceasing to be funny.
Nothing is happening today. Towelliee's vacation is planned "perfectly" to return in time for 10.1.7 launch (and 10.2 announcement). Max "GM/RL of Liquid" just went on vacation, too, for a few days. Icing on the cake, a few "TOP END GUILDS" met with Ion and Morgan (supposedly) to discuss 10.2 dates/times so that they could figure out their plans around Blizzcon, etc.
Not doubting you, but why would those guys need to be around for 10.2 announcement and PTR? My impression is that people follow news sites like Wowhead or dataminers like MrGM, Keyboardturn, Stiven, and Marlamin on such occasions.
Towelliee feels more like kind of dude who does long gameplay marathons and so on of already released content.
I don't know anything. You don't need to believe me. I just don't want you, or others, to be disappointed when "nothing happens" because of "false excitement."
It's also just possible that Blizzard had nothing planned for today on their "This Week in WoW". OR (big OR) they will announce something. Who knows? Either way, best bet is next week. No matter what, we are SO close to constant speculation and lore goodness! 10.1.7 cinematic was a nice treat yesterday.

It was one of the store mounts? Or sub mount? I don't remember.
The perfect music if finally happens:

Fyrakk calling the tree a "fledgling" makes me think Amirdrassil is not actually the zone, though it will probably appear.
Maybe it's all building up to the tree fully growing in 10.3/11.0?
I think people would be livid if they had to wait another 6-12 months or so for a new Night Elf capital. I suppose the Night Elves could use a portal on the tree to reach their new home, as opposed to actually living on it. Or the tree could just sit next to their new home, who knows.
