Can we get patch notes early please???

But the thing is this isn't supposed to be a minor patch..it is "Part II of 2.5" right? Normally, we get like..say, 2.4 and then minor patches. They've never split up a big patch before. Heh, I certainly hope there is much more to this patch then the story...3 months is a long time T_T

That's pretty much what it is. They just reduced what would have been a 5 month wait between story development to a mere 3 months by slicing off some story from the major january update and pushing it to march.

Story aside I wouldn't expect 2.55 to feel major; it doesn't have new dungeons/raid for example. Just the remaining Before the Fall story and other adjustments to existing content...
