I don't really remember the full Cata survey as I filled it out over a year ago.. but we really could see a multitude of changes based on the feedback they received.
WotLk phase 2 was 5 months long
Phase 3 was 4 months long
If phase 4 is 4 months long, then we are looking at phase 5/Ruby...
Cata probably Q2. They said "first half of next year". We still have WotLK phase 5 a few months away. Probably gunna see a June release if I had to guess.
In the same boat. Gotta level my mage and druid up... but I'm stuck running RDF dungeons for satchel loot and getting 30 min debuffs every time I get WC..
Yeah, its a different feel and I have never tried Hardcore before. I'm almost to the same spot I was before, definitely going to be more careful going forward. I was breezing through and got complacent.
Died at level 15 because 3 things spawned on me when I was trying to drink for mana. Going to give it one more try and be much more careful. If I die, I'm done with it.
