If you've been keeping up with the news here on WoW Insider, you already know the information that has been updated on the WoW Under Development page. But it's nice to see it in black and parchment.
Under Almost Ready, Blizzard lists the highlights of Patch 2.2: Voice Chat, Mac Movie Capture and the Improved Chat Interface. They also include a link to the current PTR Patch notes. These changes will be released in the next major patch, which unfortunately looks like it will be a while.
The Coming Soon section lists things that will be in upcoming patches, presumably before the expansion. They don't link to any further official info for this section, but I've provided links to WoW Insider details:
- Zul'Aman - A high-level 10-player instance located in the Ghostlands
- Guild Banks
- Sunwell Plateau - A high-level 25-player instance located north of Silvermoon City
I was hoping for more official info on the Coming Soon topics -- and something more than just 3 items. I don't expect the expansion to be here for another year, so an official sneak preview of some more of the free goodies we're going to get in the meantime would be nice.
What are you most looking forward to being added to the game before the expansion? Or will nothing satisfy you except for new hairstyles, ten new levels and another continent?

Words cannot express just how much I don't want voice chat in this game. Seriously. It's bad enough that my guild uses vent and wants me to be on vent when I'd rather be listening to music.

tbh I'm most looking toward the experience boosts for levels 1-60 or whatever the specific levels are (20-60? im not sure)

@1 You're more than welcome to turn yours off.

@1 Words cannot express how much I can't stand people complaining about voice chat. Here are some ideas for you: (A) Listed to music and be in Vent at the same time. Sure, you can't crank up your music to ear-bleeding levels, but you can do both. I do it all the time. (B) Go play a FPS. (C) Quite your guild and solo. (D) Find a guild that doesn't use vent. See that, there are so many options other then complaining about voice chat.

@1 Learn how to say 'no' and find friends who don't take it personally when you do. In the mean time, don't try to take things away from other people, simply because they don't fit you. For example, I find Flektor to be slow and buggy. It should be wiped. But that would be weak, wouldn't it?

So are we going to have to run the regular 5 man Sunwell 15+ times to run the heroic? Blizz needs to do away with that garbage. Faction rep to run an instance = stupid.

I am looking forward to 2.3 all together. If I compiled everything from blizzcon and some of it being most likely in 2.3 we should be seeing more heroic badges, new raid instance, arena season 3 (most likely around there at least), and guild banks. We might be seeing some of those class fixes or buffs , like the enh shaman and ret pally, and some daily quests. After all of this if the sunwell does have a 5-man in it as well then just going into a new instance and experiencing it will be a joy as I may not even see SSC.

"Mac Movie Capture - The Mac client is able to capture in-game video to QuickTime movie files using a configurable choice of codec, resolution, and frame rate."
This has to be the most exciting development in my eyes. How have I not caught wind of it?

@4-- oh, so you're that jerk who can't be understood because of the background noise and keeps spamming the vchat.

@9 I agree completely. I'm super pumped for the Mac Movie Capture!
