Maybe you thought because it was Friday night that you could avoid new WoW news? Think again-- Tigole has posted on the forums that the PTR is coming up "soon," and the PTR forums have been reset in anticipation (unfortunately the forums have gone down due to all the chaos). We're not expecting the patch until Tuesday, so throwing it up tonight would be a very Blizzard thing for Blizzard to do. As Eliah said before, too, character transfers are up and running, so all signs point to Blizzard springing this on us very soon.Tigole also says to watch WSG when the PTR comes back up, as there will be lots of changes. Their goal is to keep the gameplay similar, he says, while ending the turtling and flag kiting. Should be interesting. We're around this evening and will keep you updated if we see any notes.

Awesome! Hopefully we can get the full release by the end of the month, or early March. :D

Hooray, maybe WSG will be worth playing again if they can turn them into 20-30 min matches guaranteed instead of the nearly inevitable 1hr+ turtle match when one team is down two flags and just wants to farm HK's since they're not going to get the win.

It was quite entertaining to watch the Test Realm forum earlier
There was well over 20 pages of threads in the space of a half an hour. Then they all got deleted... the forum was closed... then it opened again, and there was a page of posts in the space of a minute.
Am I the only one refreshing the forum every minute to see if something crops up? I usually don't get over excited about patches, but this one is an exception.

Got it:
o Warsong Gulch
+ When both flags are held, the flag carriers will receive 50% increased damage done to them after approximately 10 minutes and 100% increased damage after approximately 15 minutes.
+ Flag carriers can now be tracked 45 seconds after picking up the flag.
