Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dreeble" data-source="post: 2693169" data-attributes="member: 7322">Heya:>PandarenAnother rumor about the Pandaren not being the alliance race was that it would in some way offend their Chinese customers.  Apparently there is some sort of stricture against depicting the killing of pandas.  Just a rumor, though.  What I've heard is the Alliance might get some sort of statue/elemental type like the Earthen.  Drenei would be an interesting choice.  There's a little Drenei village in northwest Swamp of Sorrows.  Maybe they could modify the zone there to lead into a large Drenei settlement along with some newbie attached areas?>Blood ElvesI'm not real big on Warcraft lore, but I read somewhere that the Blood Elves (or maybe High Elves at the time) were allied with the Alliance, but an Alliance general sent them on a bunch of suicide missions.  More motivation to seek new allies.>Flying MountsIt seems to me that if you add controllable flying mounts, you need the ability to be able to dynamically jump off them at any point (like you can with horses, etc.).  If that's the case, I would LOVE the ability to jump off wyverns and such.  It's a bummer going to Blackrock Mountain and having to go all the way to Kargath first.  I'd much rather jump off at a strategic point (rogue safe fall woo).>+40 Attack Power RingI suspect this won't be a level 5 ring when the expansion comes out.  I'd use a ring with that much attack power right now in certain situations (like raiding against mobs that don't use Area of Effect attacks).>Patch maybe in mid-DecemberExcellent, the 1.9 patch is supposed to have Paladins (and maybe Priest) changes in it.  I'm horde-side right now, but much of my guild made alliance alts to play in their spare time.  I might continue my lvl 10 paladin if they become interesting enough.  Additionally, Karazan (or however it's spelled), the tower in the south end of Deadwind Pass (I think) between Duskwood (I think, it's south of Elwynn Forest) and Swamp of Sorrows is extremely extremely cool looking.  Great place to visit and look around.>Fire Resist Buff from Spellbinders in UBRSMy guild smacks Ragnaros weekly (although we died to him Sunday at 1am, well Monday) at 1%.  Ow.  We were tired, I s'pose.  Anyway, we usually go ahead and get that buff since +83 FR is nothing to sneeze at.>Expansion DateAll of the history of Blizzard says they're slow.  Repeat the previous sentence a billion times, please.  Now, usually when they finally deliver something, it’s spectacular, but honest people need to acknowledge that Blizzard is slooooow.  So, with that said, nobody should get their hopes up that the expansion will be here this year or even early next year.  I'm hopeful for the beginning of next summer as they try to catch kids getting out of school looking for a cool game to play, but next Fall is also a possibility.  "No way, that's too long to wait!"  It would be for any company other than Blizzard. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Take care,Dreeble (60 UD Rogue, Garona, woo)</blockquote>
