22 May 2007 - Blizzard Worldwide Invitational Vanity Pet

New redemption NPCs have appeared in Shattrath’s Lower City, Ironforge, and Orgrimmar on the Test Realms. The pig farmers raise special Golden Pigs for those who have a code from the recent Blizzard Worldwide Invitational which was held this past weekend in Seoul, Korea. These basically use the piglet model (made so popular by [...]

Our scouts on the test realms have been hard at work scoping out Patch 2.1.

3 May 2007 - Whither Children’s Week?

21 May Update: The patch notes for the latest test realm patch now list Children’s Week as a feature, and the event calendar now lists Children’s Week as occuring when Patch 2.1 goes live. Stay tuned!

Children’s Week has been moved to “TBD” on the main event calendar. Allegedly, an expanded Children’s Week is being planned [...]

Included in the new set are three new Loot cards - another vanity pet (Bananas the baby gorilla), a magic 8-ball imp, and (just in time for summer) a picnic cookout set. As with the previous set, the codes are available [...]

21 April 2007 - Post Tax Day Updates

Now that the computer’s done doing the taxes, it’s time to get back to the important things in life - like World of Warcraft! Blizzard is casting the net a little wider by offering 10 day free trials of World of Warcraft and Burning Crusade in order to entice new players to try it (”just [...]

6 March 2007 - Patch 2.0.10 - Nerfin’ da Bears

Patch 2.0.10 is out, with a substantial “readjustment” to druid bear form (for Dire Bears, an 11% reduction in the Armor bonus from 450% to 400% and a major reduction in Health bonus since the form now buffs Stamina by 25% rather than all Health). On the bright side, rage generation was upped, so warriors [...]

16 February 2007 - Happy Lunar Festival!

We spent a busy morning running over the Lunar Festival quests. Unfortunately, none of the quests (including the Elder coins) appear to be repeatable as of this morning. Patch 2.0.8 (which addressed primarily the Arena end stats screen) did not appear to have any changes for the festival. The principal Festival changes since last year [...]

13 February 2007 - Patch 2.0.7, Seasonal Updates, and Cross-Checked Reagents

We double-checked the Love is in the Air seasonal page and found no major changes since last year. However, as of this morning, some characters who had done the quests last year were still having problems repeating them. Hopefully, that’ll be fixed with Patch 2.0.7, rolling out to a server near you.
We’ve also been hard [...]

6 February 2007 - The Wildhammers Check Out, More AddOn updates

As has been long rumored, the Wildhammer Clan have now dropped their standoffishness with the Alliance and are no longer a separate faction. Wildhammer quests are still available in the Hinterlands, but the Wildhammer clansdwarves are now just an Alliance-neutral faction. As a result, the Wildhammer page will be dropped from the reputation list.
In AddOn [...]
