But even if you're not a night owl, now is probably your last chance to head over to the PTR and test out all the goodness that is patch 2.4. Blizzard had shut it down until now, possibly to just test out one or two other things before releasing the patch soon. My bet is still on March 25th. I have no little birdie in my ear saying that's a for sure thing, but I just have this gut feeling I'm right. If you've participated in the guess the release date contest, you might be under a week away from winning a nice 60 day game card.
I had to apply a couple of patches when logging onto the game tonight. It only took about 10 minutes though. Not too bad. We've looked over the patch notes and in-game items and can't find anything different – although perhaps there are some changes we're overlooking. However with that said, often times Blizzard will make the "undocumented" changes on the PTR right before they release the live patch. Who knows what those are...
Happy PTRing!

Just my luck. I deleted my WoWTest folder and patches *this morning* after expecting that I wouldn't have any more chances to explore the Sunwell Plateau. :(

^^ think I'll finally go see sunwell, etc..
Only hit 70 a few weeks ago, so obviously there has been alot of stuff for me to to, so I haven't had chance to go.
Just copied my character, hopefully it doesn't take that long....

Get ready for another 3 weeks wait, at least.

I'm still disappointed no one could seem to track down the vanity pet bag. That was like Christmas come early. :(

I'm really looking forward to the vanity pet bag and the soulbound items bag as well. My whelplings need a home!
Arabelli Mar 20th 2008 11:03AM
I am too! I just worry that it doesn't actually exist. I've never seen these bags posted with in-game equivs, just the one post on mmo-champ about them being added. I'm leery!

Is it just me? or did no one notice the background downloader actually downloading the 2.4 patch? Cause the full patch is downloaded and waiting to be installed. So I'm with Adam on this one. Looks like March 25th for the patch.

1.12 and 2.3 were both on the BGD for two - three weeks. I'm not expecting it till april TBH. No one has killed mu'ru or the end guy(Name escapes me for the moment). Mu'ru couldn't be killed when they took down teh PTR, so unless they found out what was wrong and someone posts a 'ZOMG HE'S DEAD!!!11!!one' post I won't hold my breath for next week.
