Patch 4.0.3a - The world ends this week on live servers!
Let's confirm this, yes, Patch 4.0.3a will be deployed on live servers this week and will change the world of Azeroth forever. You only have a few hours left to say good bye to the old world (and farm try to get that stupid mount in Zul'gurub) before Deathwing decides that it needs a new look. All the information and the official patch notes are available below.
Get ready for the biggest change you ever witnessed in World of Warcraft, and enjoy!

Da mit dem Patch am Mittwoch die Portale in Dalaran und Shattrath verschwinden wärs praktisch wenn man dort positionierte LowLevel Mulies evtl. noch nach Stormwind/Ogrimmar bringt.
Ab Mittwoch gibts in Dalaran allerdings auch ein AH Brassbolt Mechawrench <Steam-Powered Auctioneer>, falls das der einzige Grund war in die alte Welt zu reisen.
Für 80er lohnt sich der [item]Argent Crusader's Tabard[/item] bzw. ein KirinTor Ring. Damit kann man sich in SW binden und dann mit dem Tabard nach Eiskrone/Dalaran porten.

I can confirm in the next patch - 4.0.3a - that Brassbolt now works for everyone, regardless of professions. He now functions as a normal auctioneer for everyone to use.

Mit dem heutigen Patch werden/wurden auch die Chaotic Metagems (+3% Crit Damage) geändert. Sie benötigen nun mehr blaue wie rote Gems. Auf EJ gabs auch schon Diskussionen ob es sich mit Lvl85 lohnt diese Gems weiterhin zu benutzen.
Bevor Ihr nun panisch Eure Taschenrechner hoch fahrt...

Also aktuell müssen wir wohl damit leben und ich werd mal schauen welchen Meta ich bis zum "Horfix" nehme. Komplett umgemmen werd ich mein 80er Gear aber nicht.The current design has been reconsidered, so we're planning to revert gems that now require more blue than red gems back to their original requirements. Such a change can't be accomplished via a hotfix though, so we'll have to wait to revert these in a future patch.
