It’s a common phrase that Zeddicus Zu’l Zorander, the First Wizard in Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth series, uses when he curses. It is also something that helps us Priests acquire some form of income (at least, us Tailors anyway). As first seen on Curse, there is a strong hint that our bag space will increase in size yet again. That means we don’t have to wait for all the Imbued Netherweave Bags to sell. It means we don’t need to spent countless of hours marketing our Primal Mooncloth bags only to have it replaced in a patch before WotLK. Check out the following statements made by Drysc on WoW’s US Forums.
Drsyc says:
We’re mindful of space concerns, and increasing the base backpack size is certainly a possibility for the future. We have other space and storage increases currently in the works for release before Wrath though, and we’ll be talking about those soonâ„¢.
Can you give us those Super Backpacks from the PTR the 36 slotters i still has space issues even using those XD.
Probably not. But don’t worry, there’s better stuff in the works.
Now, if you’ve been able to read between the lines, then you’ll be able to deduce the two messages that were subtly said. First, there are things better then 36 slot bags being worked on. There’s a good chance now that means we will be producing a lot of bags en masse. That also means we will have to pair up with a sharpshooter to help us farm the necessary materials required for them. That also means more tailoring skills that need to be leveled. Am I the only one that ever sits here once in a while and asks “Geeze, does this game ever END?”
Second, notice how Drysc, a representative of Blizzard, has trademarked the word “soon”. Even Blizzard will now acknowledge that they no longer set final concrete release dates on their projects. But that’s okay, because I’ve always loved Blizzard ever since I started playing Warcrat 2 when I was 9 years old. That was the first game where I first discovered a cheat code (show me the money)! I’ll end off this post with a WoWWiki definition of Soon.

Guess I’ll cross my fingers and wait for Duke Nukem’ Forever.
Don’t know if this is what they may be referring to, but I heard that Blizzard is developing a built-in version of Item Rack, and that the extra ‘resist’ set items stored by this new IR would have their own space where they would be held, i.e. your extra sets of gear would no longer have to be held in your bags.
If this is true, then that would be MUCH better than 36-slot backpack (although i’ll take that too if they’re offering =P)
Trite, yeah you and me both. But as Priests, we’ve never really had much need for resist sets. Maybe alternate spelldamage gear instead?
