In Saturday's (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/03/21/arcane-brilliance-i-still-dont-like-spirit/) Arcane Brilliance (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/Arcane-Brilliance/), I linked you to a Ghostcrawler post on the official forums (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=15671125153&pageNo=5&sid=1#90) in which he answered a good number of pressing Mage questions. Some of his answers were encouraging, some were vague, but all of them served to give a Mage community very concerned about its future a more enlightening look at Blizzard's (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/Blizzard/) development goals for our class than we've had in some time.

On the heels of that post comes this truly epic thread on the EU forums from Vaneras (http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=8464976527&sid=1&pageNo=1). He begins by reposting Ghostcrawler's earlier Q&A in its entirety. Five pages of Mage questions later, he presents us with no fewer than four more gigantic posts (http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=8464976527&sid=1&pageNo=6#103) filled with more questions and developer answers (whether this is direct from Ghostcrawler or not isn't made clear).

This may be, quite frankly, more direct communication between the developers and Mages in one day than in the rest of the six months of Wrath's existence combined. I found a lot contained within that was encouraging. I found a few things that concerned me. Mostly, though, I'm just happy we're on speaking terms again. I was beginning to think that maybe all those things some of us said about "slaps in the face" and "re-rolling a Lock" and "quitting the game" had offended Blizzard, and they'd finally taken our number out of their phone and changed their Myspace status to "Stop calling me, Mages." My thoughts on this wealth of information after the jump.Continue reading Vaneras answers a whole lot of Mage questions (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/03/25/vaneras-answers-a-whole-lot-of-mage-questions/)
