Over on the PTR they have updated the patch notes for 3.3 yet again. You already know this. You read other WoW sites. So why am I writing about it? Commentary people! Commentary.

There’s an interesting point on meeting stones in there. Take a look:

  • Meeting Stones: To use any Meeting Stone, it is only required that the character’s minimum level be 15. There is no maximum character level requirement for any Meeting Stone.

What does this mean for the player? It means that Quick runs of the low level instances will be made easier. I know we’ve all been there, you’re level 15 and want to go to the Deadmines, you find 2 other people who want to go, but nobody else leveling in that level range wants to go. You  have a friend who’s 80, online, and bored. “Hey Joe, wanna run us through Deadmines? I need the Defias set for this Rogue” So, Joe starts the long trek from wherever he was to you. You think to summon him, but there’s a level requirement for the stone, and Joe’s too high.

Or, maybe you’ve got 3 people ready to do the Headless Horseman and find 2 more in the guild who will have to hearth back to Dalaran, Port to Irinforge, Fly to Chillwind Camp and Run up to SM. That takes quite some time.

Maybe you want to get you old-world raid on, and decide to head into MC. People straggle along and take forever. For some odd reason you have no Warlocks. Well you just have to wait.

Well, now you won’t. Now you’ll be able to use that Meeting stone because the Max level restriction has been taken off.

I think it’s a welcome change for anyone who’s ever had to wait 10 minutes for that Rogue to finish WG, fly to Dalaran, port to Stormwind by mistake, and then fly to Southshore for the Headless Horseman. And yes, that has happened to me. Twice. It was the same Rogue. Two Days in a row. Luckly it was not someone in my guild.
