I'm alive! at least until my coffee runs out again. Hot

Well I did it, I survived the first three weeks of school, so I'm finally awake and able to write, and just in time too. Huge developments on the beta and DUH DUH DUH even on the live servers!

Ok well, on the live servers....The Story is moving forward! Yep, Operation: Gnomeregan and Zalazane's  Fall are both now on the live servers. I have recorded a video of the Gnomish liberation battle, which SPOILERS! Doesn't go amazingly, hell how well did you think an army of two-foot-tall explosive nuts would be against a bigger army of two-foot-tall pyromaniacs who just happen to also be radioactive? I wish I could have made a video of the quests leading up to the final assault, but they are not terribly amusing and right now there are HUNDREDS of players trying to do them right now.

I'll try todo the horde troll version as soon as possible, because we all know trolls are freaking awesome, plus the quests leading up to it are supposed to be a bit better. For those of you who saw the PTR or beta videos of either of these distractions, you may be a bit disinterested, but I think you might at least like he voice acting, haven't heard the troll stuff yet, but the gnomish king and the current owner of Gnomeregan are both hilariously voiced.

Well the beta just keeps getting better an better and (beats head on wooden table just in case) seems to be heading towards the expected pre-2011 vague release, most likely in November.

Those lucky (insert choice profanity here) on the beta can now level all the way up to 85 and most of the dungeons are up now on the beta, one or two are not in yet, and neither are heroics, so no heroic SFK or deadmines, which by the way are now going to be int the game at launch instead of a few months after. 

Also, Totalbiscuit made a tow compilation videos of the new race intros, sorry still no goblins.

Obviously I want this game to come out, but I'm also looking forward to Blizzcon, that evil little two-three day event that is staring us Blizzard fans down and taunting us. Will they give us a release date? What will we hear about Heart of the Swarm and the Protoss one I can't remember? Will they reveal they actually have been working on Diablo 3 behind our backs? 

And the biggest question of all, what the hell happened to that new mmo, is it a new IP, is it World of Starcraft, come on guys, please?
