Dont Loot Dogs

We now have a patch notes version of the information released so far, for those that don't feel like reading huge paragraphs to get to the juicy tidbits. You can check it out below, but as always, this is a work in progress as the information is released; this may not contain info for your class, but don't consider that as the class being ignored in the patch!

We've included information about Sunwell and other various things shared previously, so new information is in bold.
General

* Characters will now retain talented spell ranks so when they retalent they do not have to relearn the spells from trainers. (Source)
