I didn't realize until recently just how many Blizzard support articles direct to WH. Knowing that WH is owned by a competitor, it's always felt like a strange symbiosis.

To be clear, it only looks like that from a certain angle

Feels like nothing compared to the backlash against him after the BC announcement!

It also would signify Anduin finally rejecting the "warrior king" mantle of his father, letting go of the past (his struggle with that shown in the Worldsoul cinematic) and forging his own path.

Looks a bit like Sunken Temple. Part of Atal’Utek?

...which is a weird thing to say if you're planning to update *all* of Northrend (which was my belief prior to this). To me, this suggests they're not updating all of it, and will phase between old and new Northrend in some areas.

Which could indicate how they'd handle capital city updates.

So, related - maybe you caught this, but in last week's interview, Ion discussed revamping Northrend and choosing which parts to update. And not wanting players to wander "200 yards" and suddenly be in an old part...

Calling it now: they'll get stuck on the other side of a portal and go missing for twenty years... again.

I think Ion discussed this in an interview at some point. Right now the only thing that seems worthwhile are the two daily (or weekly?) quests.

They're afraid if players earn currencies "too fast" (however they define it), then they'll need to lower the drop rates. Which would piss off players who didn't take advantage of it. E.g. frog farmers fiasco.

So instead, they drip-feed and increase it later. Often the drip is more like a drought.
