Some of the interface changes can be fixed with addons, I got Classic
Quest Log to bring back the oldstyle questlog, really can't get along
with the new one (and I did use it all the time I've been on beta,
trying to give it a fair chance - I still hate it).

Seems exactly the same as before to me, I guess you must've had it
setup differently then!

No, that's a good sign - means their automated system actually
recognised that something didn't reach you, much better than having to
argue with a GM over whether the item ever even existed :-)

Eek, that's a bit weird! I first logged on with zero addons and only
enabled updated ones, haven't hit any remotely similar problems,
luckily.

It'll be stressful on my server for sure, high pop all trying to do
the same stuff at once (90% Horde so we'll almost all be in the same
zone), sigh.

Usually it's fairly ok by launch time, hopefully will be this time
anyway.
