In a discussion of new realm transfers opening up, we get this tidbit: from now on, new realms will be created with the AQ gates already open. What that means is, there will be
no races on any newly created servers in the future to be the first to gain the Scarab Lord title, for one thing. Those servers will have no Scarab Lords until one transfers there, because it will be impossible to complete the quest chain necesssary for the title. It also means that if you missed the title on your original server but were going to try and transfer to pick it up, you can forget it. Unless you can find a server that's currently active that doesn't have the gates open, I suppose.
The way the statement is phrased is a little odd: By automatically opening the gates and allowing immediate access to the Ahn'Qiraj instances, we would like to promote the higher level content that is available as well as ensure a smooth overall experience for players on these new realms. I suppose they just mean the 20 and 40 man instances that are already there, but it seems odd to call level 60 raids higher level content at this point.

Leveling Spec at 70
I know this may sound silly but here goes:
I've leveled my mage to 72 using the frost spec. However I've heard from various people that after 70 arcane becomes a powerful leveling spec as well. So my question is, is frost still considered to be the dominant leveling spec, are the two roughly similar in effectiveness, or does arcane really overtake frost after level 70?i
respeced to arcane from frost at 70. i guess it depends what you prefer. I like to instance grind for xp therefore arcane is better for me as i do more dps. as for questing solo, i kill mobs faster with arcane but id say frost is way better for solo questing. I also leveled from 70-80 as arcane. 1 point in Slow let me kite many elites.
