Blizzard has released the patch notes for World of Warcraft's upcoming patch 2.4.3. Our friends at WoW Insider are sifting through the notes right now, which you can find here, and pulling out the highlights. Key changes include mounts at level 30 (as opposed to 40), nerfing the Magister's Terrace instance and various changes to to non-combat pets and Hunter pets.
Patch 2.4.3 should be available soon on a public test realm (PTR), likely today or tomorrow. No word on when the patch will be pushed to the live servers.
Additionally, for those who like their WoW on and off the grid, Upper Deck has announced the three new loot items for their trading card game expansion The Hunt for Illidan, including in-game disco lights, glowing foot prints, and an Etheral Soul-Trader pet. The associated cards will contain a code you can input for the virtual equivalent. The TCG expansion launches July 1.

Imagine that somewhere on this planet, there's a fat nerd having a fat nerdy erection over those patch changes.

And if you thought WoW had horrible amounts of grinding, run far away from this one. It literally takes you a year to level up.
And unless you manage to roll "batshit celebrity" or "pro athlete" there's no way to get a comfortable amount of gold.

The mounts at lvl 30 thing is something I've been wanting for a long time. Awesome.

Seriously, mounts at 30?
It's nice that they put them out sooner, but at the same time that means people will have to gain gold sooner.
Now a rational mind would note that being a smart auction trader can get you the gold quickly, but not all players are rational or smart. Meaning that this could bump up business for gold sellers.
Course since I'm getting back in after wiping my old lvl 60 a year ago, having a mount sooner will be nice.
