"He charged deep into the fray, heading for the humans' general. The rest of us spread out and aided the Alliance forces where necessary. They were fools to have started this fight without us. They'd seen little of war, and for the past six years we had been at "peace". They were soft, and they were smugly certain they could win the day. It hadn't occurred to them that they might lose. They didn't really understand loss, not as we orcs do."

On dual spec:
The idea is to let you swap glyphs and action bars along with your talents.
It will be trivial to do in town.
You will also be able to do it out of towns, but not as trivially.
We hope to have this done for the next major content patch, but it's a big feature and takes some time.

Blizzard announced today that Monday, August 11 will be the on-sale date for BlizzCon 2008 tickets. If it's anything like the Worldwide Invitational and previous BlizzCons, tickets should sell out very quickly. The ticket are priced at $100 each. And don't forget to factor in airfare, hotel and food when planning for the October 10 & 11th event in Anaheim, CA.

Check out this very interested interview! Here is a quote: "J. Allen Brack: I see Sunwell Plateau more as an evolution of what we did with Naxxramas. Like I said, Sunwell Plateau serves a dual purpose of concluding The Burning Crusade's story as well as representing the ultimate challenge for PvE content."

All orphans wish they had someone to show them the wonders of the world. Throughout the year, they spend their time wandering around their home cities of Stormwind or Orgrimmar, dreaming of the day they'll be old enough (and big enough) to venture.

"Last night several realms did experience technical issues in regard to an exploit. This exploit was hot fixed within a couple of hours after it was discovered and the problem no longer exists."
Damron wouldn't specify what caused the bug, but we have since heard it may involve a problem with the user logging mechanism in the game's arena mode. We won't go into more detail because the internet already suffers enough entropy, thank you very much.

I just watched the Blizzcon PVP panel videos on Youtube, and I am DISGUSTED by the attitude of the developers towards balancing classes. Please note that this is NOT about the OPness of warlocks, I"m merely using warlocks as an example to demonstrate Blizzard's ignorance towards PVP balance of difference scales. Watch the videos!

Set up a Goblin Gumbo stand and distribute Landro Longshot’s secret recipe to members of your party. When they eat it, they’ll belch green gas with a loud burping sound. The Fishing Chair gives you a comfortable seat to relax in while you fish, and it even comes with its own umbrella for shade.
