No pre-orders for us UK folks, but I don't think Maltheas would have been happy on the back of a giant cat anyway! That fancy new tinkered mount, on the other hand, looks like just the sort of thing a rat about town might look quite good on!

I haven't had time to check on that lately. Wasn't it all going to become one megastat rather than +melee crit, +ranged crit, +spell crit and all that? If I had been in the beta and if I'd had a chance to see those things for myself it would hypothetically have been long before Xmas and I would hypothetically not have found the time I wanted to really check things out. Hypothetically. And then if I told you, I'd have to kill you. I tell ya, this expansion is coming at THE worst time for me this year. I don't usually say that (I don't like "the universe is against me!" stuff), but seriously: Sentinel's Fate early access (for the preorder/CE?) starts on the 16th -- if I'm lucky, I will be welcoming the cable man to do our TV/internet/phone access that day, and ALSO welcoming the moving truck with a gajillion boxes and moving-type stuff. And since we're committed to unpacking like clever, sane people this time and not like insane dervishes (open box! throw everything somewhere! spend 5 years trying to find it!), I probably won't have any time to play in that first week of early access anyway. Ah well. I'll have my spanky cat mount to console me... someday! :D Don’t forget that crits are being retooled too — or *were* being retooled. I haven’t had time to check on that lately.
