Am I the only one who never has really used facebook and doesn't have an account?

So 4.0.1 does that mean the new talent tree starts wrecking the game?

What is face book?

Facebook is a free site, where you connect with people whom you haven't talked to in years, say a few things like "What are you up to these days?"... and then add them to your friends list. Then you don't really talk to them again, except out of the blue.

But you can also create a group, for example. We have one for Burkeville Hockey, where the people who regularly play street hockey from us can all easily see events (times when someone in the group wants to play, and would like to invite others to do so as well).

For the most part, Facebook is one of the two. An organizational tool for the relatively small portion of your friends list that you interact with often. Or a connection tool, for those who are no longer in your life, and likely won't be in your life in the future, but whom you occasionally want to say hello to.

Summary by Wowhead:

What patch 4.0.1 is

There's a complete overhaul to existing item stats and their values.
Reforging will be implemented, helping to making the transition much smoother.

There's a total overhaul to our talent trees. The current 51-point trees are gone;
the new 31-point trees will be implemented, complete with new abilities. As part of this,
you're required to choose a specialization at level 10.
You will get 5 more talent points when Cataclysm launches and you are able to gain 5 more levels.

Spell ranks are gone. You only have to learn a spell once, though it may be at a different level as before.
Your spells will now automatically "level up" in damage along with you.

Mastery has been implemented, although it is not part of the talent trees.

What patch 4.0.1 is not

The world will not be torn asunder -- you won't see any changes to existing zones or new quests.
As a logical extension, you will not be able to access new zones like Vashj'ir and Mount Hyjal.

You will not be able to surpass level 80.

You will not be able to play as a goblin or worgen.

You will not be able to fly in the "old world." You will not be able to train 310 percent mount speed.
