MC: Work continues / WoW: OH SNAP!! 4.3 is live!

I’ve been in Minecraft today, making the 4th station in the new map next to an NPC Village I found south of the Main Hub.
There’s three lines. RED LINE (designed like the WAYWARD LINE), BLUE LINE (designed like the BENIE LINE), and INNER LOOP LINE (of course designed like the OUTER LINE).

I then went past the new 4th station, using MCEdit to throw in the station I used in the W2TS for when the WAYWARD LINE ends as the first station of the INNER LOOP LINE, a line that will basically hug around the boundary of the ingame map.
So I got the Eastbound side of it extended to make its first station (and the first ever station I made with that type of line) to what I’ve called “Great Swamp”, due to the fact there’s a large swamp biome (one of the new biomes added) in the Southeast corner of the ingame map.
Before I could, it became 4:50pm (when my RP friend comes on WoW), so I got out of Minecraft and fired up WoW.

.
On the launcher, I noticed it had the patch thing going on, and was taking a bit longer than a hotfix. I thought “Is this Patch 4.3?”. It took nearly ten minutes to download the entire thing (including the non-critical updates).
It also appears they changed the official name of the patch to “Hour of Twilight” instead of “Dragon Soul”. I would rather call it “Azeroth’s Retribution” for what Deathwing did.

So yeah, Patch 4.3 is live! Unbelievable. Feels like just last week is when I came into the PCR. Now with the testing over, I can play around with the new content. And it looks like it went in smoothly like the previous patch. All of my addons are still working (they’re actually out of date, but with the Curse Client, updates for them will be soon. Hopefully).

What stings like a bee is the Raid Finder. It says I’m not eligible to queue for ANY raid in it. In the drop down of the Raid Finder, it shows the instanced raid of when Deathwing attacks Wyrmrest, and the Dragon Soul raid; nicknamed “Fall of Deathwing”. The minimum ilevel is 372 for both, and I’m nowhere near that. But do I really give a shit? For it to say that feels like it’s saying “U SUK LOL!!”. But I don’t care that much. I’m not a raider.
What’s strange is the Firelands raid is missing from the drop down, and I know in the PCR it showed I could queue for it (but barely. The ilevel requirement is right at mine, 355).

But with 4.3 now live, this gives me something else to do if I get bored with Minecraft (which seems a bit unlikely but there’s always the chance) while waiting for my friend to get on.
