Damn nice! Are you planning to do all events like hallows end and christmas like in retail?
Also if you need any help with core and think I could help, I've been doing C++ for five months now, but haven't played with emus for a while.
Project would be niceHit me on [email protected].
Also about heroics, I think you should be able to buy some kind of gear with heroic badges, so people would do instances also.
