We're not sure if you could call it a bug or an oversight on the developers' part, but we've got a bit of news for all those folks who are trying to slay Omen for the Lunar Festival of World of Warcraft. Apparently, if you've previously beaten the quest and picked up Elune's Lantern, you won't be able to finish the quest after defeating Omen. More on this bit of news after the jump!

World Designer Blizzard world designer for World of Warcraft">Kisirani has announced that Blizzard's World of Warcraft Brewfest officially closed last October 17 12:01 a.m. server time. He added that players should look forward to Hallow's End which will be starting on October 18 at 4:00 a.m. server time.

Kisirani addressed those who wanted to take part in the Dark Iron Event saying, "it is regrettable that we were unable to bring it back this year, but there is a limit to what we can hotfix." He added they already have a few plans for next year so that's something we can all look forward to.

Players will have to wait till next year to get their Ram mounts. Gamers who did miss their chance to do so shouldn't feel bad since they can still pick up the broom mounts during Hallow's End.

Some of you might remember the videos we hosted before featuring a panel of Blizzard designers for World of Warcraft at BlizzCon 07. Aside from talking about the different tweaks the races will get, the designers also promised to make the behemoth MMO as immersive as possible.

Having heard that, some of the players are now asking Blizzard for the status of these improvements. The questions are explicitly directed to Creative Development VP Chris Metzen (aka Thundergod) and Quest Designer Alex Afrasiabi (aka Furor).

The two were not able to answer the questions but blue poster Kisirani picked up the thread and provided some explanations. According to the forum moderator, while they have already began improving this particular aspect since The Burning Crusade (examples given include the Skyguard and Ogri'la factions), this is still not top priority. Kisirani further discussed:

You have to understand, naturally, that this sort of content, while fantastic and something I adore, is something that ranks lower in priority than, say, ensuring the game mechanics are in place and functional. This is icing on the cake - we have to bake the cake first.

Kisirani also said that currently, Blizzard doesn't have the manpower and time to go back to past content and improve on them. However, a more immersive gameplay experience can be expected in upcoming World of Warcraft content.
