Katamary Damacy aliens called for help after WoW patch woes

I hear the servers are having some problems but this surpasses everything.

Taken from Q23:

MarchHare: If I wanted to complain about WoW, I would have started a thread talking about all the server instability yesterday that resulted in hundreds of players falling through the world and ending up in a stack of corpses piled high in the air (with no way to return to your body).

mouselock: There is no perhaps about it. It’s rare to find a screenshot that amply and unambiguously demonstrates the fubardness of patch days in the way this one does.

Instead if you are one of those interested in the vain speculations about class developments in the expansion, there’s a link with some unconfirmed news leaked from that “Friends and Family Alpha Test” that Blizzard tried badly to keep hidden:

[23:40] : oh btw there’s this totally sick herb in the BE starting area
[23:40] : called bloodthistle
[23:40] me: yeah?
[23:40] : it increases your spell damage and healing by a small amount for 10 minutes
[23:40] : but
[23:40] : when it wears off
[23:40] me: the herb does this?
[23:40] : yeah
[23:40] : but when it wears off you get a 15 min debuff called “bloodthistle withdrawal” that reduces your spirit by 5 :P
[23:40] : BE’s = potheads

[23:54] me: how’s the zone look?
[23:55] : badass
[00:00] : umm… the blood elf male ears bounce in even more annoying a way than the night elf
[00:00] : and they have three basic types of hairstyle
[00:00] : you can be Elrond
[00:00] : you can be Legolas
[00:00] : or you can be OMGDRAGONBALLZSUPERKONNICHIWASAN ^_______________^;;;;

What I’m wondering is the reason of the secrecy. I applauded them when they decided to drop the NDA from the beta long before the original release. I think it was a good thing for the game and contributed to its success and polish. That NDA was dropped around February. The release was at the end of November.

Now we are still supposed to see the expansion released before the end of the year, but it’s the end of August and we still know very little about it.

Or the lessons learnt during the beta were forgotten, or we’ll hardly see the expansion this year.
