Is it going to affect the time of release for patch 2.3? I mean c'mon... we haven't seen the under development page updated for ages... we haven't see a meaningful patch for quite some time... yet you can't even throw us a bone? :S

The Under Development page will be updated soon, but I'm pretty sure people know what is in the works anyway.
First to answer your question, anytime one patch is delayed it has the potential to delay another one since there needs to generally be a testing period. That's pretty much a given.
I think adding the Voice Chat among other things such as giving people that use Macs the ability to record in-game footage could be deemed meaningful by many people. There are also many other changes and additions that are going in that patch. You can take a look at them in the test realm sticky of patch notes or on the webpage that has it.
Second, as far as what is under development goes, I'm pretty sure people know that Zul'Aman is in the works, Sunwell Plateau (25 player dungeon) was also talked about at Leipzig and in Games for Windows Magazine (we'll have more on that as well), and then of course the other big things are Guild Banks and of course Wrath of the Lich King. Those are just things that I've mentioned briefly.
We've also let people know there are more class changes coming up, some changes to Dustwallow Marsh, we are looking into experience gain rate and planning to change some of that for people and more.
Is that all a big enough bone to toss your way? We can talk about more if you like though there are some details that aren't ready to be shared yet.

Just out of curiosity can you give us a statistical break down on PC v Macs copies sold / activated? Maybe it is just me; but I think that PC users vastly outweigh the Mac users and if that Mac part is holding up the patch can you delay that component until 2.3 and release 2.2?

Neth, any news on the Legendary Ranged weapon? Can you at least say if it ties to lore? Or maybe can you tell us if it's a gun, bow, or crossbow?

By all accounts the Mac stuff is fine and the voice chat is still buggy.

Soooo there is only plans to release 3 content patches by 11/??/08? (thats the date game stop has for WoTLK). If thats the case hire some programmers. Not to mention wasting resorces on another 25 man when hardly any ones in BT.

Big issue with this patch was that adding voice chat required EXTENSIVE reworking of the in-game sound subsystem. This is an IMMENSE programming task, even if you can't see much of it. This means it requires extensive testing to verify.

Please, is there anything for Holy Priests before the Expansion?
Is there anything being truly considered to buff us, other than baby-steps to our 31 and 41 point holy talents, you love and 97% of us hate?
