No release date but I assume summer or later. They didn't mention beta
so I guess that's not too imminent.

Hehe should be alright, yeah, suggest you try Proving Grounds at 90
for healing practice if you don't want to jump straight into a pug (I
wouldn't :-))

I saw some people on forums mentioning garrisons seem like another
game, it sounds good anyway, so I'm happy to see it! I've not really
played any other MMOs, so it's all new to me, sounds like it has
plenty potential for fun.

Lol :-P They're improving bags a lot, in that you don't need to keep
so much stuff in them (heirlooms/toys getting put into accountwide
panels like pets/mounts) and a bunch of UI stuff that looks like
taking the best ideas from addons. Apparently they want to try and do
the Diablo 3 transmog system (once you learn a transmog look by
finding an item, it's there forever in the UI and you don't need to
keep the item clogging up your bank) too, but haven't got it working
enough to be able to promise it, but I hope they manage that
eventually.
