CM chaos on the PTR

The community managers showed up on the PTR on Friday, and as you might imagine, chaos ensued. Eyonix appeared as a level one gnome, and he and Tseric both got invited to a player guild, where they chatted with players for a couple of hours. I don't know if any actually battleground matching systems got tested (that was originally their reason for showing up), but apparently lots and lots of people got killed by Gruul, Baron Rivendare, and even Nefarian appearing in Lower City Shattrath.
Hopefully a CM event like this (as has happened before, when the expansion beta ended) signals that the end of the PTR (and the patch going live) is right around the corner.

Not to burst your bubble Mike. But, give this post:

which was referenced across the blogosphere, it seems we have at least 1 more patch build to go on the PTR's before we get the final. So expect a week of posts concerning the nurfs and buffs of the Karazhan crappy epics and then a final release on the 15th.
They almost always announce that they are taking the PTR's down on Sunday or Monday before the patch anyway.

I wouldn't count on it. Didn't we just hear recently that they're adjusting stats on a bunch of items, still?

Good point, Dahlaine. Hopeful thinking I guess.

Aw... got my hopes up for a patch tomorrow. ;_;

Certainly won't be going live this week: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=101713707&sid=1
They wouldn't push an update to the test server the day before a patch goes live :). I'm putting my bets in for the Tuesday before Memorial Day (in the states) weekend.
