Loving the sound of the new heirlooms interface: "It's a new UI of (essentially) buttons that will "light up" when you obtain one (or have obtained one) of the heirlooms. Click the button and an item of that type will be generated and put into your bags." Fully accountwide, and no need to wonder which alt has it (or mail it around every time you switch character). Half my heirlooms barely get used because it's too much hassle to go find them when I decide to play a different alt! (I have 7 different characters who all want to use the one intellect trinket I have...) I'm not so keen on the exp boost heirlooms, given I actually enjoy levelling, but having my weapons and trinkets available to all alts would be great, and would probably make me actually bother to go and *get* said items, as I don't actually have half of them, thinking it's a waste of time for one character for a handful of levels. My main server is full, on two accounts, and most of the characters are high enough level that it's really not worth getting more heirlooms for them (18 50+, 12 70+ and 8 80+ who get no use at all from most of them). But alts on other servers... now there's another matter! I've got a cute little gnome priest all alone on one server, would quite like to load her up with heirlooms and have a blast from time to time, but I can't get at them right now, due to wrong server (not enough slots to reroll her over on my main server). Btw thinking of alts and servers, these connected realms give a lovely boost to anyone who wants more than 11 characters on one server btw: join a connected realm and you can have 11 on each member realm, up to the max of 50 per account, if you find a cluster of 5 realms. I'm a little jealous, as my realm will most likely never be connected, due to its insane population... oh well, at least having alts elsewhere gives me someplace to go when I can't be bothered sitting through the 1 hour queue each evening the first few weeks of new patches :-P
