Can't wait for the new wing, and I'm looking forward to the new Occ stuff too, but I'll wait if they don't roll that out this downtime.
First?

I was with you on the excitement until you added "first" at the end.
Now all I want is for you to have your account destroyed.

It seems the earthquakes for this month might actually be due to the Brew of the Month's Brew.
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37488#comments Wild Winter Pilsner. Read it and weep.
Granted, the mobs might still be around, but let's not say it's them doing this.
"The Januari Brew from the .
When you drink this you gain a buff for 5 minutes called The Beast Within which will makes you red (kinda like the hunterstalent The Beast Within, only without the all the other buffs).
When you right-click the buff (or wait for the 5 minutes to end) the buff will disappear and you Unleash the Beast! which will make you roar so hard the ground of both you and nearby players will shake.
Edit: and ofc like all the other Brews, when you drink it you get an Empty Brew Bottle, which you can throw at other players (or NPCs, but I'd go with the goldbeggers)."
