There will be a patch before Wrath of the Lich King launches

[Fenz]

With the release of Wrath of the Lich King approaching, we wanted to provide you with some important information. In preparation for the expansion, we will be issuing a new content patch in the coming weeks. Much like the patch made available shortly before The Burning Crusade's release, this content patch is designed to bridge current game content with that of the expansion and will contain some exciting changes and additions.

We have outlined some of the larger features scheduled to release with the patch below:

New class spells and talents
Stormwind Harbor
Barbershops in capital cities
Zeppelin towers outside of Orgrimmar and Tirisfal Glades
Two brand-new Arenas featuring challenging new layouts, terrain hazards, and moving obstacles
Guild calendar
Hunter pet skill revamp
New profession: Inscription

As mentioned above, this is not a comprehensive list, just some of the major highlights. We’ll post the full patch notes as soon as they’re available. Regarding Inscription, please note that all Burning Crusade players will be able to select Inscription as one of their two professions and level up to a skill level of 375 with it. Upon the release of Wrath of the Lich King, players who purchase and install the expansion will be able to continue leveling in Inscription and the other professions beyond 375.

For emphasis: Players who level past 70 will have their Arena points reset to 0 and be removed from all Arena teams in the level-70 bracket.

Ok, looks like I can buy the chest and helmet now and flush any other points I get from Arena away as well.
It's great of them to make this call.

Not sure how the blue L80 sets will work, I assume it'll be both honor and some kind of "token" resulting from effort done in Lake Wintergrasp.

New class spells and talents

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAA

MMO-champion has dug up some interest infos concerning true arena loot.
Pretty sure it'll kickstart the PvE-loot-in-PvP discussion again.

The Maexxna mace's 204 DPS (586-880) while the epic Arena mace's 187 DPS (537-806).
Both are 3.6 speed.
Easy fix would be making the Maexxna mace 3.3 speed - it would still be superior for Titan Gripped Fury though?

Barbershops!!!

well this would almost certainly happen, i just wish they would release the deathknight beforehand so you could level it to 70 to be able to join all the other lvl 70's when WotlK hits, but i bet that would not happen, so 100 DK's in hellfire will LF1M HEALER RAMPARTS!

I wonder, with inscription can you boost all your spells or only 1. Or maybe one spell of each school.

Anyone knows where I can find information about that?
