Opening this up as a place to post stuff as we hear/find it.

Oh, Felicia... *sigh* <3 If one day I suddenly disappear, it's because Felicia and I ran off together. Oops, was that out loud?

She's wearing a threadless tee, I manage threadless's network devices, we're practically dating.

The History of Warcraft (the making of the game, not lore). Good read.

A few interesting snippets for those that haven't read the QA stuff on wow.com:

Removal of spellpower

In Burning Crusade, they unified healing and spell damage into a single stat: Spellpower. Now they're taking it a step further and completely nuking it altogether. The spellpower stat is being removed completely so that casters and healers won't have to worry about it.

Instead, to account for the increase of spellpower, the stat that controls this now is going to be intellect. As always, intellect will continue to account for the size of a player's mana pool.

-----------------------------------------------------

Removal of MP5

Shamans and Paladins have been screaming to the heavens to get this useless stat out of the game. Your prayers have been answered. MP5 will be removed from the game. So how is mana regen going to be calculated?

We're going back to spirit on gear! Yes, you read correctly. Shamans and Paladins will be receiving gear that will contain spirit. This primarily controls the regen rate.

-----------------------------------------------------

Race Changing

Why do you think the Horde/Alliance faction changes are less game breaking than race changes? Chilton says they WILL be doing race changes, further down the road. BlizzCon exclusive!

-----------------------------------------------------

New Dances

Question about dance studios. Chilton: We're actively working on it, the animation team is working hard at it. They've made several dances already, and want many more before they put it out.

Chris Robinson added to it: It's going to be killer, when we release it it will be worth it.

-----------------------------------------------------

Guild Heirlooms

Will heirlooms scale to 85? Stockton says that guilds will be able to craft guild heirlooms, for the entire guild in any slot. They will scale every level.

Lots more on Guild Leveling here (some REALLY cool stuff).

-----------------------------------------------------

No More Mana for Hunters

Changes mentioned were the fabled change to Ammo as a consumable, and lastly the removal of mana as the Hunter resource. Yes, that's right, Hunters can finally "officially" remove the stigma of being classified as casters. Instead we're going to use Focus as our resource.

Focus will work similar to Rogues' energy. The reported focus regeneration rate will be a base regen rate of 6 focus per second. However, Steady Shot will give a bonus and increase that to 12 Focus per Second. Now you can see how Haste will become an important stat to us Hunters.

So that's The Don in the first pick wearing the "My Peace Is Growing" shirt. Which one is Felicia? Is it the one with the kittehs or the platinum blonde with the pure black shirt?

Felicia is the one with the kittehs on her shirt. :)
She (actually all of The Guild, I believe) is going to be at PAX this year, here in Seattle - lots of happy gamers!
