Blizzchat 2/26

Blizzard held their latest Blizzchat on Twitter yesterday. There are a few tidbits in there that were worth the viewing, or at least the reading today if you missed it yesterday.

Like:
Q. Are there any plans for more weekly quests (not raid but general) for the weekend only players?
A.
I like weekly quests, because they get you to come back to WoW without making you feel like you have to log in every single night. Sometimes Ghostcrawler likes to go to the bar instead.
Q. Are there any plans to implement cross-faction/cross-realm mail(for BoA gear and such)?
A. We have cross-faction mail for BoA items now; cross-realm is a work in progress, but we hope to have it done “soon."
Now this would be totally awesome. Being able to mail items (not just BOA) between your characters on different realms. I hope they were not just talking about BOA items though....

Q. Has there been any thought of changing Eclipse to charges so that Moonkin dps doesn't suffer so much from moving?
A. Yes. Expect a major overhaul in Cataclysm that keeps the same basic idea (alternating from Arcane to Nature) but in a way that is more core to the class. Like everything though, there is the risk that we may decide this idea sucks once we see it in action.
I was just blogging about Eclipse a couple weeks ago. I'm not sold on charges for Eclipse, but I'm very happy to hear they definitely have plans to change the current implementation.

Q. Where is my moose? Did you see that Ghostcrawler?
A. That was so epic. I was sure the screenshot was shopped until we saw the actual video. I guess we're going to have to do a moose now...
One more day for the Olympics.... and never did get the mini-event like they did for the Chinese Summer Olympics.
