Patch 1.12!
-The Rogue Class has been removed from the game, as this was a huge glitch, but should now be working as intended.
-Players that have Rogues will not recieve any compensation for playing a rogue to 60/getting epic level items, as this was seen as a huge imbalance to all other classes and therefore, will be either forced to re-roll another class of their choosing or quit World of Warcraft. Rogues that choose to quit the fine product "World of Warcraft" are recommended to play the following: Metal Gear Solid (1-3), Splinter Cell (1-3) and any other game which has implemented Stealth as a tool, incase we decide to bring the Rogue class back. If we, as a team, decide to bring back the Rogue class, then these games should keep you at the top of your skill level! We are also happy to inform the Rogue community that if we DO choose to bring them back, you will NOT be able to have your characters restored, as these records will be wiped from our database with the implemation of patch 1.12.
-All other classes have recieved stealth.
Class Changes
