Half of this I like the other half is BULLSHIT. I’ll let you decide which is which (src)
Changes that should be in the next beta push. Bear in mind that some of these may change somewhat or entirely, and there may also be other changes coming in subsequent pushes:

I wouldn’t so much as guess that Blizzard is trying to develop a mobile World of Warcraft game but maybe something along the lines of a utility like checking your auctions, chatting in guild, or leveling a profession from the streets. They already have Warcraft ring tones and mobile phone wallpapers available (although overpriced) so [...]

Here is the official announcement and the Diablo 3 Overture is FREE right now, so I suggest snagging that up quick! Somebody heard my prayers and now, all the Warcraft music I could ask for~
If you enjoy the music from Blizzard Entertainment games and have ever thought about ordering the soundtracks, doing so just got [...]

Well, I guess enough people were put off and got vocal about their displeasure with the realm firsts titles. I can’t say i disagree with them either because some jerk who power levels his way to 80 gets a fancy new title which would add a few more dollars to the ebay value that you [...]

(src) We will be offering free character moves from a selected high population realm to a lower populated realm, assisting in population dispersal. The ability to move a character on the selected source realms will become available on Wednesday, September 3 at 12:00PM PDT, and are scheduled to run until Wednesday, September 10 at 12:00PM [...]

Now this has nothing to do with my contest, matter of fact I already mentioned that I will announce a winner on the 10th of September. Blizzard decided to sell more tickets to Blizzcon this year so everybody interested had to enter their names in a lottery to see who would be eligible to buy [...]

I’m still accepting entries to the Spooncraft Blizzcon 2008 Giveaway, and Blizzard should be announcing those players that put their name into the Blizzocn Ticket Opt-In drawing soon. So to add yet more chances to win, Blizzard teamed up with some friends and are providing this contest.
Our friends at SteelSeries, Jinx, Upper Deck, [...]

For the more experienced reader of my site, you know that I am pretty much crazy for the music of this game. Some times I do cut it off since the looping can get a little distracting, however. That’s going to stop completely in Northrend.
Jayde over at World of Feedback is such a complete badass. [...]

For those that possibly need this.

The BlizzCon 2008 Ticket Drawing opt-in is now live. People with eligible Blizzard Accounts who wish to enter the drawing can now do so by logging in to Blizzard Account Management. The opt-in period will last until 11:59 p.m. PDT on Sunday, August 24. After it ends, we will select 1,500 people from the opt-in [...]

I have to give major props to Kenzi from Death Knight Info (a GREAT website that I frequent every day and urge you to do as well) for this article. It’s a wonderful find and I hope you folks enjoy it as much as I did. I’ll be waiting on the 5th of Coming Soon!

As discussed last week, we’re preparing a drawing to offer 3,000 more BlizzCon 2008 tickets for sale. We’re finalizing the process now, and you’ll be able to enter the drawing beginning Wednesday morning — in the meantime, here is an overview of how the drawing will work:

To be eligible for the BlizzCon ticket drawing, you [...]

You guys know pretty much what’s going on right now with the Blizzcon tickets. They sold out fast, there was a major fiasco with the whole thing, and now Blizzard is offering 3,000 more tickets for sale but in order to buy them you need to be chosen from a lottery type situation. Details are [...]

WoW Insider got the scoop on some VERY exciting news!
We originally predicted that we’d finally see the Wrath cinematic at BlizzCon in October, but we may not even need to wait that long. Multiple sources are reporting that Blizzard plans to show off the cinematic at the Games Convention in Leipzig on August 21st [...]

I didn’t really see what the big deal was but it’s enough that Neth replied with a novel of posts large enough to bludgeon a small child over the head. I am only sharing the 1st and largest reply but go on to the post (it’s locked down) and read further if you’re big on [...]

Just a heads up once more, this isn’t the Blizzcon 2008 contest going on right here on Spooncraft. It’s an official update from Blizzard in regards to their additional ticket sales lottery.
We recently announced that we will be offering 3,000 more BlizzCon 2008 tickets for sale via a drawing. Soon, eligible Blizzard Account holders who [...]

It does make me feel a little better knowing that the decision makers at Blizzard are still the same great gamers they were in the past. That’s the one thing I really like about Blizzard, it’s always beena company that takes their sweet time releasing content but for the most part the finished product is [...]

Yesterday Blizzcast Episode 4 aired (still hasn’t popped up on iTunes come on Blizzard how many times you dropping the ball this week?). The first part is a pretty interesting interview with a guy I admire a lot (Russel Brower) and about the music of Warcraft. The rest of the show is pretty centered around [...]

The title says it all. I placed my order already for my Blood of the Horde beer stein. I’ve recently become kind of infatuated with tasting different kinds of beers and this little baby is going to be MUCH appreciated in the coming months.

The total cost after shipping and tax comes out roughly to $102.00 [...]

The Blizzard Fan Art Section has been updated with new pieces of artwork.

Remember how a while ago I posted images of this mysterious Zebra mount and in game spells (in the files) that allowed you to summon another player or grant an extra level? Yeah it’s here hurray!
With the new Recruit-A-Friend program you can earn an exclusive Zhevra mount, receive a FREE month of game time, and [...]

Shacknews reported that according to Mike Morhaime (Blizzard Entertainment’s CEO), Wrath of the Lich King will be released between October and December 2008.
“We have said that it will be coming out this year,” Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime revealed in a conference call today. “I can tell you it’s not coming in the July to September [...]

The developers and community managers have been very busy lately answering questions and giving out pretty solid details on feedback in the official WotLK Beta Forums. Here’s a bunch of the more general posts that aren’t about class changes and such. I’ll be going into detail on anything vague in orange text after the quote.

Fantasy Flight Games has just released World of Warcraft: The Adventure Game, a fast-paced board game of danger, conflict, and heroes. Two to four players engage in a struggle for glory and valor as they travel the Eastern Kingdoms of Azeroth completing quests and battling monsters - and each other - in a [...]

It might not even be worth mentioning but I figure what the hell. There was a mild Earthquake in Irvine CA that forced the employees over at Blizzard HQ to evactuate. Everybody and everything is fine but still, pretty harrowing little event on a typical Tuesday.

This is the new tab players will be able to see in WotLK on their character screen. As you can see the tokens you get from Battlegrounds as well as Heoirc Badges and any specific Holiday items and such will be held here as currency. It’s very streamlined (and currently bugged like everything else in [...]

Well, Blizzard has finally given us a date when the tickets will go on sale and so as a man of my word I am officially announcing my giveaway of 1 Blizzcon ticket. If we have learned anything from the past it’s that these babies sell out rather quickly.
Here are as many details as I [...]

Howdy everybody. It’s the end of a Monday for the most part and here is your daily dose of blue posts that you may have missed over the weekend. Sorry it’s taken me so long to get this up today but I’ve been pretty swamped.
First up we have more Death Knight comments. Expect this to [...]

Tigole hit the Beta forums with this little nugget of information. The game is getting some serious rebuilds obviously with WotLK which is a good thing. By the sounds of this it looks like there will be a specific way to have tons of your BG marks, Badges of Honor, non-com pets, and mounts (maybe [...]
