"When the Expansion comes..."

I don't think we're relying on it. It simply works out that this expansion is the first expansion since release of the game and, as such, we have a chance to make a broad stroke that changes much of the game. Game mechanics being revamped, new systems being put in, etc. This basically allows us to take everything we have learned in the past years of this game being live and apply it.

All of the little mechanics that have existed in the game continue to grow, be revised or applied in new ways with new coding developed throughout this game's life. It is a larger wave and impact than the conventional patch which we have used to add content.

Q u o t e:
But I doubt that Professions are going to be looked onto with a whole new faith just because of Jewelcrafting.

Alchemists will be able to specialize in transmutations or potions. Specializing in potions allows you a chance to create more than one potion with a single crafting click. That is just one item that might sway doubt.

Q u o t e:
I doubt you guys will ever make a LFG system.

We'll probably be highlighting this system on the website next week. I've been writing text for that and researching the mechanics of it this week. It's mostly finished and already in the most up-to-date builds for the expansion.

Q u o t e:
And, yes, the hunters still need stable slots.

Should I assume you've already seen my statement to that issue?

Q u o t e:
Good luck, though.

Cheers

Didn't you used to have a blue background behind your avatar?

Nope. Always been that way.
