Lots of good info in here. Check out some excerpts:
[GilS.PR] Can you give any comparisions, or lack of, between the drop
system in World of Warcraft and Diablo 2?
[Katricia] Like D2, WoW supports a form of random item generation.
[Katricia] Unique items can be created by the system such as "Sword of
Lifestealing" or "Breastplate of Stamina" ...
[Katricia] We take the base item like the sword and the system randomly
combines it with a modifier such as lifestealing
[GilS.PR] Can you tell us more details about group spells and/or
rituals?
[Katricia] The Warlock has the ritual of summoning. With three people in
a group, the Warlock will cast a portal that two others must touch that will
summon a distant party member to that location.

February 5th, 2004 |

Blizzard released a bit more info on trade skills today:
Fishing: Armed with their best fishing rods, Fishermen explore
the world of Azeroth looking for new and interesting places to cast their
lines. In addition to the varied fish population, all manner of aquatic
treasure awaits the Fisherman with the skill and patience to reel it in.
Enchanting: Enchanters use their magical formulae to grant both
temporary and permanent augmentation to weapons, armor, and other equipment.
They also included a
screen shot of an undead character with some funky hair fishing.
