Brew of the Year change

Q u o t e:
Brew of the Year is no longer required for the Brewmaster meta-achievement.

This is correct for the latest PTR build. The achievement is still there, just not part of the meta-achievement. We should be putting a new achievement into the meta that just requires you to sign up for the Brew of the Year club, not to drink all 12 of them.

We do plan to add Noblegarden to the Long Strange Trip meta achievement, so be ready to rock when that starts.

Q u o t e:

If you're going to add Noblegarden to the meta, at least make it last longer than 1 freaking day. I will be traveling that day and will most likely not be able to log in, so I will be nerd raging like no other if you add it to the meta as-is.

That's pretty ridiculous for such a huge, long meta achievement to require us to log in on ONE SPECIFIC day out of the whole year, especially when you announce it a month before the event. Give me some time to plan, Blizzard!

Noblegarden is currently set to last 1 week. We redid the event and added a bunch of achievements - it previously had just 2 - so we agreed that it should be longer and did just that.

Q u o t e:

Do you have the dates handy for 2009?

Nothing set in stone as they could vary a bit, kind of like how Brewfest did in its first time.
