This edition of the WoW Public Test Realm has some interesting differences from most PTR sessions. If you keep up with PTR news like I do, you’ve undoubtedly run across these notes already. But even if you’re not a PTR junkie you may want to check this one out.
I’m trapped in my own personal version of hell (Logan Airport), but at least I have patch notes to look at! And for a minor patch, there sure is some interesting stuff in here, including … level 30 mounts?! Where did that come from?
Random highlights follow.
Final Name: Magitail
I don’t think we’ve had a Name That Pet request for a warp stalker before, which is odd considering how much personality these little guys have. So today we welcome our inaugural warp stalker request from a Blood Elf hunter called Lunania.

Faeldray over at Petaholics Anonymous is working on a pet name generator (to go along with her excellent character name generator, affectionately known as PANDA).
The generator isn’t complete yet: Faeldray is looking for some help figuring out the best way to set up the naming categories — whether in silly and serious categories for each family, or by name origin (like Chinese names, fantasy names, etc.), or by some other method entirely.
If you have an interest in pet names (and it seems that most of us do at one time or another), please swing by and answer her poll on the matter. Thanks!
I was browsing the WoW forums real quick tonight before turning in (this contract thing has me up abominably early in the morning!) and noticed that the Public Test Realm forum is once again available (and has been wiped clean). In addition, copying a character from the live realms to a Public Test Realm appears to be operational, and you can download the PTR client as well. However, the PTR client is still an old build for the moment, and none of the Public Test Realms are actually up yet.
Still, being the PTR junkie that I am, I am very interested in all this activity! I just hope it’s all ready to go by the time my plane lands tomorrow night.
