Just One Day Left To Merge Your Account
Posted by Amatera on Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 - 11 Comments
Ever since Blizzard announced that you could merge your World of Warcraft with your Battle.net account, we knew that some day they’d make the change manditory. And why, you ask? Battle.net has been a mainstay of Blizzard’s online community for years and it’s about to receive its biggest upgrade ever with the release of Starcraft ... More

And we’re back to a robust week of testing in Icecrown Citadel! If you had seen this schedule earlier, either on a different news site or on the official PTR forum itself, do note that the dates have been shifted. There will no longer be any testing done tonight (Tuesday, 11/10), and the encounters that ... More
Cataclysm Novel Scarring Your Eyes In August 2010
Posted by iTZKooPA on Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 - 13 Comments
Before you get your “ZOMG Cataclysm Is Coming Out In August” panties in a bunch, let’s be clear, the release date of the book makes no mention of the third expansion launching side-by-side with it. Technically the date isn’t even official, no matter how accurate Amazon has been in the past, Blizzard is Blizzard, even ... More
11/09 Hotfix Breaks WoW
Posted by Amatera on Monday, November 9th, 2009 - 14 Comments
If you’ve attempted to log-in over the past few hours you’ve likely been stone-walled from entering the game. The culprit appears to be a small hotfix or patch intended to (ironically) update the install repair tools that either wasn’t ready to go live yet or just featured plain old bad code. When it first released, ... More
PTR 3.3: Patch Notes Updated 11/09
Posted by Amatera on Monday, November 9th, 2009 - 5 Comments
This update’s a teeny-tiny little one, honestly without a whole lot to talk about. Paladin’s continue to get changes to their Lay on Hands spell, which you may or may not have seen Blizzard waffling about on the official forums. The latest version of the spell — which once was rumored to remove the ability ... More
New Map/Quest Interface Tour [Video]

As you may have read in the latest patch notes, Blizzard has gone ahead and given players the option to integrate the Quest Log and World Map into one big, conglomerated objective-tracking monstrosity! People will wail and people will moan that they’re, once again, making the game too easy, but then those same people will ... More
3.3: More Official Tier 10 Previews
Posted by Amatera on Friday, November 6th, 2009 - 17 Comments
Two new entries have been added to Blizzard’s Official Tier 10 armor previews: the Paladin and Priest. Though you’ve likely seen them before, these two sets can now be considered “complete” and in their final forms. Even after much controversy, they remain roughly the same as they did when data-miners first pulled them out of ... More
PTR 3.3: Patch Notes Update, New Map/Quest System Implemented
Posted by Amatera on Friday, November 6th, 2009 - 5 Comments
New build, new stuff! Two things of especially interesting note this time around: if you’re still running Naxxramas these days, then it’s about to get a little bit easier. Are you tired of having to run through the entire dungeon just to unlock the fight with Sapphiron? Well, fret no longer! Blizzard has heard your ... More
PTR 3.3: Raid Test Schedule 11/6-11/7
Posted by Amatera on Friday, November 6th, 2009 - 3 Comments
Though it’s come rather late in the week, it looks like there will be some Icecrown Citadel raid testing this week, after all! As of this posting, EU realms have already run their first of the set, having taken another crack at Lady Deathwhisper. Though this isn’t a new fight, US players haven’t had the ... More
Patch 3.3: Icecrown Raid Difficulty Makes Raiding Even More Granular
Posted by iTZKooPA on Thursday, November 5th, 2009 - 9 Comments
Blizzard first chopped up the difficulty settings of World of Warcraft in vanilla WoW with optional bosses, or new loot tables for killing a boss in a certain way - effectively the first hard mode before that label came to be. The idea was taken a step further in The Burning Crusade with the introduction ... More
