2.4 PTR are Offline and TTRs Prioritized plus More News
Monday, March 17, 2008 by C. Carter
The 2.4 Patch Test Realms are all offline, with Blizzard prioritizing bandwidth and server space to the Tournament Test Realms. It's my opinion this means we'll see the 2.4 go live tomorrow for the entire community.
Isle of Quel'Danas is the new zone, featuring a new, elite 5-person instance called Magisters' Terrace and the T6-level Sunwell Plateau 25-person raid. This link provides an extensive list of the quests - including dailies. A link to the reputation rewards for the Shattered Sun Offensive is located here.
With that said, it is very, very important anyone using a heavily modded UI to be prepared to a lot of downtime. Blizzard stated (and I reported on February 9) that...
The Interface Options screen has been completely redesigned. AddOns that interact with the Interface Options screen will need to be updated.Also, many items have been adjusted for playability - some armor and weapons being tweaked up a bit - though, mostly, Sunwell Plateau items and T6. Additionally, there is still only one set of the S4 data-mined. This only confirms speculation that the fourth season of arena will occur sometime after 2.4.0 goes live. We still have plenty of time to farm Honor Points and Arena Points.
With the introduction of 2.4.0, we will have a new zone and reputation grind. I am not aware of anyone actually playing the PTR, other than maybe Zach (Raijin), so I am providing the WoWWiki link to the zone.

Of note: the reputation rewards heavily favor Alchemists and Jewelcrafters. It is very important we all work together to help Brad (our resident Alchy - rofl) and Dannielle (our JCer) to attain exalted in a super-quick fashion.
Finally, (and of special consideration) for a long time Dannielle has dreamed of a fight that isn't solely fought on the ground. To an extent, her dream has come true, with portions of the final boss fight against Krael'thas Sunstider in Magisters' Terrace be waged while flying in the air!
Wow "Krael'thas Sunstider" in the AIR!
:)
I almost plan on just dumping all my add ons and starting from scratch. Addons dont slow me down, its just the dang errors I get all the time.
But at least most of us have something else to do now. I was getting kinda bored. Its not so much that I want to do Kara itself, its that I want the raiding fun atmosphere of wise cracks in vent and people working together to accomplish a common goal.
