Miracle patches are things of legend, and rarely seen in an MMO. Miracle content patch is an oxymoron.
The patch on the 22nd, and the one that was delayed tomorrow even... seem to be content patches. Introduction of content is an introduction of more bugs... which is nothing even close to a miracle.
Referring to them as "miracle patches" is just outright wrong based on the definition of a content patch. I know sarcasm isn't meant to use common sense, but you are not even describing the upcoming patches correctly.
We will have a small patch on Monday 15th of February, containing a combat overhaul which will improve the overall feeling and flow of the combat. This includes updated hit boxes, real weapon arcs (to hit your target more accurately not relying on where your “crosshair” is but where the actual blade is), some bug fixes and some small features. We are looking forward to hearing your response on these important changes. <--- Might be a miracle path, but it does say overhaul which == bugs for more testing.
On 22th of February we will release a huge content patch including even more combat changes, changes to the magic system, new weapons, obviously new content as in new areas, pickables/resources, npcs and mobs, new player buildings and some other stuff you may find very interesting. <-- Huge content which will require LOADS of more testing... and likely introduce MANY new bugs. Nothing even close to a "miracle"
So... call them content patches, and save the "miracle patch" reference for one that is completely "fixes". At least then it will be more accurate when you try to make fun of it.

I think the whole "miracle patch" banter is pure sarcasm.
As much as many of us hope it is, most of realize it's most probably not going to happen. There is just too much that needs fixing, and has needed fixing. Adding more on top of a faulty foundation will only result in more problems.
I hope this isn't the case but the track record so far isn't good.

This is the long awaited content patch that will push MO into "Gold" status. (anyone want to put odds on 1 March?) It has to be a miracle..
My account actually says its active till Feb 23rd so I am going for the 24th. Just checked and yep says my account expires Feb. 23rd Hidden meaning or meaningless date you decide.
Open Betas, "Free" Closed dont' have dates and purchased are one month after purchase date. Going with meaningless
