Going to crosspost this from the SA forums for maximum speed of response; those of us on ShC kind of want to get to the bottom of this.

Right, so some folks may have noticed me talking about "speaking Draconic" in the patch day thread. There's a bit more to it than this, but I need some help to figure out what's going on.

For a bit more depth: World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> Language: Draconic 300/300

Basically, as of patch day, every single gnome rogue on the Shadow Council server who was extant in the game world at patch time can speak Draconic. As in, the skill is there in their skill tab. 300/300. Their words are mangled normally to everyone else, they are perfectly comprehensible to each other in Draconic as though they were speaking a racial language. They are capable of reading the "Draconic for Dummies" book that is in Stormwind and Undercity, and can understand the drakes you feed in Shadowmoon. It is fully implemented, fully realized Draconic.

The current working theory is that Draconic is now meant to be a quest reward for the "Draconic for Dummies" questline you do for Narain Soothfancy as part of the quest line for the Scepter of the Shifting Sands quest line. Mag, one of the gnome rogues on our server, has been working at it for a little while now and completed the Draconic for Dummies line but hasn't finished the full quest line yet. And now all of our server's gnome rogues can speak Draconic. Note that newly rolled gnome rogues CANNOT do this - it only applies to gnome rogues who were active on the server when 3.0.2 was patched in. This is what leads some of us to think that Draconic is now a quest reward for doing the Draconic for Dummies quest and that, somehow, Mag's new quest reward was applied to every single gnome rogue on the server.

Now, where do EJ forums members come into play with this? Well, knowing that EJ and friends are some of the biggest poopsocking bastards on the Internet , I know a lot of you know - or are - Scepter holders. What I need from you motherless SOBs is to go to your Scepter holders - or at least people who have completed "Draconic for Dummies" - and check to see if they also know Draconic now. I imagine that the actual EJ crew especially can check this very quickly.

We really would like confirmation on this as soon as possible. If this is what we think it is, it could be the start of something completely awesome.

No draconic on me.
Completed the AQ40 scepter quest chain except blue and green shards.

The ER septer holder "Seven" does not know the language as a Human priest.

Could not speak Draconic on my Tauren shaman on Dragonmaw, have completed the Draconic for Dummies quest line.

What do the books say?

There at least three rogues on Dark Iron that speak Titan now, all Night Elves.

The World of Warcraft Armory

Night Elf rogue, have completed the steps, do not know Titan nor Draconic.

Several humans on Greymane could speak Titan as well. Don't remember their names though.

Completely agree. This is a perfect time for you to translate all the weird demonic texts. I've always wondered what "Kirel Narak" from Kazzak meant.

Also, I just checked my pally's Armory and the Armory for my former guild's MT, neither of them can speak Draconic. Both completed the quest line for Draconic for Dummies.

Thats demonic though, not draconic .

Hmm, with other reports coming in, it's beginning to look like this is just some kind of straight up bug that had a very weird timing coincidence on our server.

Sorry to get folks into a bit of a tizzy.

Completed the Draconic for Dummies Quest, can not speak Draconic as a Human.
