got it this morning from FF in about 1 minute with no wait :D

EDIT:
WOW! they added a bunch of stuff including:


Blackwing Lair Released!
Nefarian's sanctum, Blackwing Lair, can be found at the very height of Blackrock Spire. It is there in the dark recesses of the mountain's peak that Nefarian has begun to unfold the final stages of his plan to destroy Ragnaros once and for all and lead his army to undisputed supremacy over all the races of Azeroth. Blackwing Lair is a max-level, 40-player raid dungeon, with many new encounters and tempting rewards awaiting the intrepid adventurer that dares enter its halls.

Darkmoon Faire!
A gathering of the exotic from around the world and beyond, Silas Darkmoon has brought together the Darkmoon Faire as a celebration of the wondrous and mysterious found in Azeroth. While the Faire spends most of their time in parts unknown, they do stop from time to time in Mulgore and Elwynn forest. When the faire is on its way barkers will stop by Ogrimmar and Ironforge to announce its arrival.

Battlemasters!
There is a new way to enter the battleground queues. Battlemasters! Located in some of the cities, right-clicking on a battlemaster will allow your character to enter a battleground queue just like you normally would if you touched that battleground’s entrance portal. The functionality is exactly the same, so when it’s your character’s time to enter the chosen battleground, you will be teleported directly in. Glordrum Steelbeard stands in the Hall of Arms in Ironforge, serving as the Alliance battlemaster for Alterac Valley. Aethalas of the Silverwing Sentinels stands ready in Darnassus, next to the warrior trainers, to send Alliance characters into Warsong Gulch. And in the Hall of the Brave, located in Orgrimmar’s Valley of Honor, Brakgul Deathbringer serves as the Horde’s battlemaster for Warsong Gulch, while Kartra Bloodsnarl will send you to bring glory to the Horde in Alterac Valley. Guards in their respective cities can give you directions on how to find them.

and they also fixed one of my biggest peeves with the game:


There is a new option upon the login screen. If you click the "Remember Name" checkbox on the left side of the screen, the game will automatically fill in your account name when it starts up.

My GF paid off the extortionists and gets it from FilePlanet. Then I get it from her.

I haven't logged in with my EarthenRing warrior yet - I haven't figured out what I want to do with the respec. Probably going defensive. I've had fun with the Arms-heavy tree but I'm mostly tanking instances so I'm better of with the extra tools it gives me. Plus, the new ShieldSlam talent sounds pretty damned cool.

Thought only 'locks got the free respec??


Glenn, did you run the updater and did it say "blizzard updater....<blah>"

Then, when you went to login, did you get the new EULA to "accept"?

FWIW - I open all ports on my router while DL'ing through Bliz' tool and I got it in 3 minutes. Had to close all ports again but...

Hooray, patch won't install. File checksum invalid my ass; this happens EVERY single time Bliz releases a patch!

About the respecing, warriors also get a full talent point refund.
