Guild charters only requiring 5 sigs makes it easier to create bank alt guilds on those low pop realms (ahem, Cho'gall) ....err ghost towns.

xp is related to skill level vs node level? not toon level vs node level?
Am i right in saying that my level 72 toon will get max xp while levelling his mining (which is currently at ~160 skill)? and so will my level ~60 in tow?

sounds too good to be true :-)

I expect you to test this right now and get back to us ASAP.

Was at work, but tested now. No cigar :(

at level 72 I mined an Iron node (orange to me, i'm skill 142 in mining) and got... 44xp :-(

At lvl 77 my Rogue miner gets a little over 5k experience for mining Saronite, so still very cool :)

And having all weapon skills default to max.

I'm loving the weapon skills change too, also neat that Master of Arms and Did Somebody Order a Knuckle Sandwich? achievements were changed to Feat of Strength.

I love the buff simplifications - much easier to manage :)

I also think the graphics upgrades were nice and we don't even have any of the new textures yet.

The gameplay isn't too bad once you get use to it and your macros sorted. Running 4 druids the eclipse mechanism is definitely better for boxers.

Lots of adjusting.

Well crap. I should have looked a little closer. My group was all the same level and when I mined outland on my L73 rich adamantite and khorium was giving 2500 exp. So there must be more to the equation than skill. Sorry about the misinformation.

Profession trainers in Capital cities let you train all the way up to lvl 450 now, just found this out when I was leveling Tailoring yesterday.

"return to graveyard" button when dead.
not sure what it is for, but i like the idea
