Patch 3.3.5: One Week Wait Between Regions
With the testing of the upcoming
patch 3.3.5
going smoothly on the PTR, Slorkuz has announced something pretty unprecedented on the official forums.
In order to make the smoothest implementation of the new Battle.net RealID system, patch 3.3.5 will be deployed first on North American realms followed with Europe, Korea, and Taiwan one week afterward!
In patch 3.3.5, we will be introducing our new Battle.net system, which opens up new communication options for World of Warcraft players and lays the groundwork for integration with future Blizzard games, such as StarCraft II. In order to ensure that the implementation of this major new system goes as smoothly as possible, we plan to release the patch to North American realms first, with Europe, Korea, and the region of Taiwan following approximately one week afterward.

Dalaran Children's Week Quests Issues
As you may already have noticed, if you have completed the Dalaran
Children's Week
quests that were released last year,
you currently cannot complete them again this year.
An update posted by Bornakk and further clarified by Bashiok states that at this time there is no plan to fix this issue with the quest in time for this Children's Week, and everyone who completed the quest last year will have to wait until the event rolls around again.
This is rather upsetting, I was hoping to complete the Dalaran collection by getting my
Neugieriges Gorlocjunges

We are aware of the issue that is currently affecting the Children’s Week quest line in Dalaran which does not allow players who have completed the quest line last year to take part in it again this year. We do not currently have a fix planned to address this issue at this point in time.
To clarify, this issue won'

new
Echo Isles

Cataclysm

The new Troll starting area will be for levels 1-5, and you will initially tasked with protecting the local raptors and their hatchlings from the sorcery of a nearby sea witch, slaying beasts that prey on our fellow tribe members and assaulting the naga who have overrun part of the isle.

Cataclysm PvE Badge and PvP Point Changes
Blizzard just posted changes to the badge system in
Cataclysm
... they are going to become Hero and Valor points! Basically the PvP point system being applied to PvE raiding.
Hero Points
will be earned from most dungeons (much like
Emblem des Triumphs
) and
Valor Points
will be from high-tier raids (like
Emblem des Frosts
).
While there will be a maximum cap of Valor Points you can earn each week I personally think this could be one of the better changes to come to the badge/emblem/point system since the introduction of them in The Burning Crusade. So what does everyone think of the changes?
On the PvP side,
Conquest Points
will replace Arena Points as the complement to Honor Points. Personal rating requirements will also be removed from almost all items, including weapons.
You can read all the details in the original blue post, available after the break.
