"You must unlearn what you have learned..."

Thanks, Yoda.

Patch 5.0.4, the new version of World of Warcraft, is mere hours away, so sometime tomorrow — probably late tomorrow, since there's a good chance I won't be able to get on until after I get home from work, and I work afternoons/evenings — I find out just how much of what I've learned about WoW in the past month and change, and written about here, is going into the trash.

I'd known there would be changes with the new Mists of Pandaria expansion, but I hadn't realized until fairly recently that the changes would come this far before the expansion goes live in late September. I haven't talked about talents, for instance, because I knew that was one of the big changes coming; apparently it's not the only one.

I've avoided discussions of the changes because I knew I probably wouldn't understand half of what was being discussed. I need to actually see it in action — preferably my action — to really have a chance to understand what's going on. (Not that I always understand what I'm doing...)

So: tomorrow we start again. Should be interesting.

"Interesting." That's a Pandarian curse word, isn't it...?
