Oh…it is a REAL thing for a TON of people, believe me. 
No way Blizzard doesn’t feel a little guilty not rolling this out. I have faith!!
It’s most like they specifically coded it OUT for launch, to give the “authentic” feel to the game for the first few months. And now, to add it back in, it takes time and testing to make sure it doesn’t screw up other stuff unrelated to the keyring. It’s not like bosses and instances that can be hotfixed in with a switch, the keyring is hardcoded in and thus needs to be handled very carefully so as not to just delete all your keys by accident.

What a comedy of tragedies. Living proof devs for the current version of the game have nothing on the OG devs
If anything, it just shows that the original devs cut a ton of corners and now the current devs need to deal with the OG convoluted spaghetti code VERY carefully so as not to bust the game.
The original devs wrote the code for their old engine, not the engine Classic currently runs on.

Blizz doesn’t consider Phases to be patches, and they don’t consider the multiple fixes they’ve issued to be patches either even though a fix and a patch mean the same. They have no ETA on the Keyrings to date from a Blizz post on the topic.
I destroyed all my keys out of protest, the ony neck is lucky for now.
As a shaman that already has 4 mandatory bag slots taken up by totems, having to carry around upwards of 1-6 different keys in addition to that really devours my bag space quickly. A keyring would be greatly appreciated.
Has any official explanation been given for why we dont have a key ring?
It basically hurts the most engaged players, so you’d think they would work to implement it.

Bagslots are precious and can be valued in gold as “next bank slot purchaseable”/“slots in the bag you’d put there”. So 50g to buy the next bankslot for me divided by the 14 bagslots of a runecloth bag = 3g 57s 14c (and a bit) each. Eventually bankslots are all purchased and you can’t put a price on the bagslots.
Let’s count the keys: Workshop, Scarlet, Crescent, Searing Gorge, Shadowforge, Prison Cell, Relic coffer (thank the Light that those stack), Key to the City. Eight key slots. Mind you I’ve been avoiding the Scholomance key chain for gold reasons… gold rhymes with mold… yeah fun. As the value of purchased bagslots, that’s 28g 57s 14c (and a bit). Or just flat out “more than half of a bag” of space.
Not really, this is about the last word they gave on it.
Yep, and Hunters/Locks lose a whole bag slot as it is.

This too. 
as a PVE person… i dont care about the whinning about PVP on PVP servers…
What i do care about is my 8-10 bag slots.
on my druid i have 4 sets of gear.

Cat set.
healie set.
Fire set.
E’ko charm
felwood lantern.

gordok green stam buff alcohol.
wild berries for stam buff.
couple of MCP’s.

1-2 random quest items in case i go near one of them.
and a total of 76 slots with all rune cloth bags.
these 10 key slots are very much valuable space.
Blizzard says “first patch”.
well they released DM. and world PVP
next up is battlegrounds.
so technically we would be at the THIRD patch on the 10th.
I would like my bag space now.

The week of December 10th. It’s confirmed!
First of all, calling others pathetic for disagreeing with you is just sad (this applies to anything). Back to the topic, Keyrings are a vanilla concept so it will happen, it was only requested for it to happen sooner. So both you and I are only somewhat effected by limited bag space, but how about locks for example? Summons don’t just happen free of cost, warlocks farm shards and any extra bag space they can get they will be more than happy to receive. Carrying all my keys on a key ring means if I quest in burning steps I can death run to BRD instead of hearthing back to IF and than fly to TP and death run to BRD. You’re right it is a QOL change, but it was in vanilla and it would be nice to have sooner than later. I personally couldn’t care either way, I love the game how it is.
Where? This is too important to tease!
What 6 keys do you carry to raids?

Oh, so because it doesn’t concern you, it’s not a legitimate issue for others?

Well its gotta be soon. I mean they said the patch would be before the end of the year, less than 30 days before we reach that mark.
