1.7 soon out on the test server

Nightsbane reported some info on 1.7's release:

Zul'Gurub and Arathi Basin are 1.7.0 (next content patch). The patch is almost complete with a few minor hitches. Then it goes to QA and then the test server. After that it gets patched live.

Ahn'Qiraj is 1.9.0 or later. It's a massive zone.

1.8.0 has some pretty cool stuff. We haven't announced any of that content yet but we'll try to get some information out soon.

Also the English Arathi Basin preview is up.

How is Blizzard really going to top things with 1.8? 1.7 is going to be massive.
