I got Aro transferred over (THOUGH SOMEONE HAD ALREADY TAKEN HER NAME OMG WTF) but haven't had a chance to play around yet; I'll do that whenever I get home tonight and let you guys know.

Default bank size is 28. Up from 24.
Apparently they broke Kalmidor on the PTRs. And although I logged off in Stormwind, I found myself back at the human starting zone when I logged in.
Oh, and all of the battlemasters have moved. They are now in the room behind Bolivar. I didn't check IF to see if those dudes move too.

Ooo, I like cheap slots.
Did you type that correctly Rin? I would have thought you meant something else... :)
Same thing really...

Uh, did they say it was taken or did you get a big warning saying, "Your name has been found to be in violation of naming rules!"
Because if they've decided that 'Gleja' is disallowed, I'm gonna be pissed.

The character screen now shows a bunch of cool new stuff, like your crit chance, +heal, ranged damage, melee damage, etc.
Oh, and the trainers now show most of the spells you can get between 60 and 70. The high level Prayer Of Fort gives 102.7 Stamina. Fractional stamina?

Imagine the worst chat spammers in the world all compressed onto one server. That is the PTR. Add in the totally illiterate goobs who ask the same question 6 times and never read the answer and you've got yourself a party!
As it stands right now, the PTR is basically unplayable thanks to lag and dimwittery. But from what I can tell, nearly all of the TBC stuff is in place. All that's missing are the playable races and Outland. There's even a Draenei in Stormwind.

According to some other groups I frequent, the 1.13 patch is the same build they're playing on TBC beta, with everything in the main world intact. You just can't level past 60 or enter locked portals without an expansion flag in place.

Yeah. There's a post on the beta forums warning people from accidentally using their client to log onto the PTRs, which would apparently cause massive problems.

I got Gleja (or rather 'Glejaz') onto the PTR finally. All took advantage of the new +Spirit talents. Pretty nice. +Heal is near 400 and spirit is near 350. With buffs it'll be even nicer.
Of course, I still can't do anything on the PTRs. Everything is pretty much boned by lag.

So I put 51 points in shadow and went to check out the arenas and the new pvp shiznit, and HOLY SHIT is Vampiric Touch nice. I kept the 5man team healed *in shadowform*. Hot hot hot hot hot shit.
Then I respecced disc and tried out the new LFG screen, which is pretty hot. Unfortunately, stepping into BWL seems to have crashed the Eastern Kingdoms, and Kalimdor is still down. SAD FACE. I guess Arolayde will have to melt more faces later.

Wow, you managed to part the sea of toons standing on and around the arena battlemaster? Nice.

Maybe they should have more than one test server. Just a crazy thought.

I went with a /target beka to bring her up, then hit ctrl-v and patiently waited for her bar to be stable enough to right-click. Took forever.

Great advice, Aro. I got into a 5v5 arena today. We won 5-0. In under a minute. Not the most challenging of battles!
Then the whole place crashed and I got kicked back to the char select screen.
I also noticed that when I log in the welcome message says, "Welcome to the Burning Crusade closed beta test!"

It's been my experience that the pug arena teams are mix-and-match -- whatever ten people, regardless of faction, sign up for that 5v5 get shunted together for a skirmish. I don't know if this will change for ranked battles or not, but I was just up against a team with a tauren hunter and a human priest (though I also don't know if this is intended or just a bug).

It may be a bug, but there's no way I can think of that cross-faction teams would work in ranked matches. To be ranked you have to be on a team, and to be on a team you have to sign a charter. I don't see how that would work cross-faction.

At Viraj's request, I checked out the fishing situation in Karazhan. The level 60 ghosts have been replaced with Level ?? ghosts. And there are three NPCs from a new faction, The Violet Eye, standing outside the tower gate. You can talk to one of them, but they give no quests yet.
You can still fish at the lake, however. Just make sure not to aggro any of the ghosts.

Eh. I can usually fish no problem in Karazhan at 425. So I bet it will be no problem as soon as I scale up fishing to 350. Yesssss.

I R Dum. Just jump off the bridge at deadwind pass into the river. Then fish from the bank. No need to go down to Karazhan at all.

Today, for the first time in a long while, I was able to get onto the PTR. Some other new things I noticed.
- That extra bag slot disappeared.
- The crafting trainers will now teach you things that used to come from green drops. For example, tailors can now get all the Wizardweave and Ghostweave patters from the trainer in Theramore.
