Welcome to Azeroth! Or, more appropriately, welcome to the World of Warcraft message boards.
See, the thing is, the developers? Most of them have gotten tired of all the bitching, the moaning and the QQing about class balance. Since apparently all the players think they can do SOOOOOO much better, they've decided to turn the matter over to them. Indeed, they picked out a bunch of lucky(?) players and basically dropped all the class notes in their lap and told them that they could sort out class balance. The real class devs were going to take a break and get the hell out of town.
Well. Most of them. See, some of the devs have pet classes and they really aren't content to let you all, the brain-dead, mouth breathing players that make up the WoW fanbase, have any say over their pet classes. So, with some clever negotiations, a lot of begging and a few bribes, they managed to sneak themselves in with the rest of the players. They weren't going to let their classes get ruined, no matter what it took.
Of course, the debates raged long and hard as to how the classes could be balanced. For the most part, it was just nerdy argumentation, shouting and occasionally breaking for pizza. That was, right up until the lucky player who had been in charge of the upcoming Death Knight class dropped dead. Turns out his drink had been poisoned. Apparently, somebody had taken his nerf cries very personally.
Somewhere, in the small crowd, the sneaky devs smiled internally. They would make their classes come out on top... even if it meant losing a few of their 10 million subscribers.
With the doors locked and the entire office out for the weekend, the arguments were really heating up. After all, it wasn't just about class balance now. It was about survival. If you, the players, can't ferret who the crazed devs are... well, suffice to say, you won't be very concerned about Patch 2.4.
WoW. It is serious business.

- There are no players or parties that would cause the game to end Day 1 or Night 1.

- Please try to at least post a paragraph or two of useful content every 24 hours or so.
- You do not need to post "in character" or do anything special regarding flavor. If you want to, it's fine, but it may complicate the game or accidentally give away your role, which is generally bad.
- Individual players may have "hidden" abilities that were not included in their role PM, but can be revealed by certain events happening in the game. Additionally, there may or may not be 'scripted sequences' of events that may change the rules of the game or do other things if certain events happen.
