Patch 3.1

We have the first piece of the PTR 3.1 Patch Notes. Right from Zarhym's mouth tonight. Yaaarrrr! Now has a detailed tooltip. Well thank god for that, I mean what would have happened if Yaaarrrr!'s tooltip got left out? I mean, that would be tantamount to not letting clams stack. And we all know what happened to that. By the way, Yaaarrrr! is the spell that comes with the Savory Deviate Delight that turns you into a pirate or a ninja. It does look like there's a good bit of activity going on over at the official forums C the PTR forums have gone up and came back down, and there are several new stickies over there. This kind of activity usually happens right before the PTR client is available for download and the realms go up C but they could just be getting this out of the way before they go home for the weekend. In which case it wouldn't be surprising at all to see the PTRs up on Monday. But with that said, there's half a dozen of us up at WoW Insider HQ tonight that will be anxiously waiting to cover all the news.

Of course the breaking up of large raiding guilds is unfortunate, but in the long run the new caps will help more people access high end content.Personally, I feel the only reason this is such an issue is because the Burning Crusade has taken so long to be released, with so many people sitting at level 60 for as long as a year and a half, a sudden change of this nature was bound to catch them off-guard when all they have known for over a year is 40-man raids.Hopefully the time between expansions will be significantly reduced from this point forward to reduce the stagnation when people hit the level cap and get a little too comfortable.
