Blue posts
The following blue post is talking about responses Zarhym gave yesterday about PVP. You can read all the major ones in yesterday's Today in WoW.
Zarhym's PvP thread
Quote:
You realize that it probably wasn't an off the top of his head idea to do this, right?
A Dev-CM meeting.
OK guys. We're set. We need a CM to go on the PvP forums and find out what people's concerns are. Who wants to volunteer.
.....silence......
OK, seeing as no-one has volunteered, you need to go do it Zarhym.
Aw shucks...do I have to.
Yes. Now get to it.
Cheers.

It actually was. :)
Yes, we have discussed PvP concerns in meetings recently. But, when I finally got some free time yesterday evening at work I said, "Hey Bashiok [didn't actually call him that], I'm going to go start a thread on the PvP forum to open up a conversation with them for the remainder of my day."
He suggested I make sure to stay on top of it and compile the popular feedback. I stayed completely focused on that thread for my last hours at work, then this morning shipped off some feedback to our developers along with a link to the thread (and other related threads).

I like Zarhym, seems like a cool guy.

Here's something new I came across.
Last night, One of those dumb kids in Stormwind chattering about fishing when I came into earshot doing the king's cider daily. This time he was stating pandaren were real and people have seen them.
Made me think of the pre-TBC chatter by NPCs about the Draenei and the Belfs.
Doesn't mean they'll be playable of course but I thought this was noteable.

and by dumb kid, I mean the NPC kids hanging out on the fishing docks. Not expressing a curmudgeon type view of younger players.

That's true, Blizzard does have a habit of putting in little things like that, since they plan things far in advance. I can't remember if the kids talked about Pandaren before Cataclysm hit, though. If they didn't... very interesting. ^_^

The October 3 know your lore about pandaren references the chatter. That's the best quick research I could do on my phone.

This would be the first time I encountered it, but if it had been mentioned as far back as October I guess it is nothing new then.
