Premades will be available at a later date and on a different server. (src)
Storm Peaks Closed- 8/22/08
Due to some issues that are occurring with Storm Peaks, we are closing this zone until further notice while we work on correcting them. We will notify everyone when this zone is available once more. Thank you [...]

Hey folks the one and only Andrige has once again busted out another great video. This time he’s showcasing some datamined (files from the Beta taken and highlighted) information showing the new animations for bears. The key points here, eating in bear form, fishing in bear form, and actually having your mouth CLOSED for once [...]

Here’s the Big Bad List of Hunter changes this latest push.
It really seems that a lot of hunter problems are being addressed and remidied with this expansion. I reckon that new issues will come up but for now I can’t see how the hunter will be having a hard time at all fitting into the [...]

Here are more notable posts regarding general changes in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion.
I will say this much though, I am very interested in some of the comments posted by Blizzard developers explaining how they go about making changes in the expansion. Knowing how they do these things makes it easier to provide [...]

Quick update as the talents for Mages and Shaman were changed some and there’s a little more news with Priests and Rogues
Mage
Arcane
~Missile Barrage - Arcane Blast replaced with Arcane Barrage (Gives your Arcane Barrage, Fireball, Frostbolt and Frostfire Bolt spells a 3/6/9/12/15% chance to reduce the channeled duration of the next Arcane Missiles spell by [...]

Just part of your daily dose of blue, here’s some information on the progress of druids, warriors, shaman, priests, and warlocks. I’ve got Hunters and Death Knights coming up next so stay tuned.
There are a lot of concerns for Feral Druids and Ghost has no qualms answering as best he/she can.
The changes made to things [...]

I already told you guys about how the amazing, the spectacular Breanni has made it into WoW Fame in Wrath of the Lich King with her pet goods. Here is a short little video showing off the fetch ball in action. This looks like a fun little pass time.

Hey everybody I am currently working really hard on a VERY large Hunter and Death Knight post since both classes are getting a lot of attention and the Death Knight had some very revolutionary changes over the weekend that might be hard to tie down and make logical.
So for now here is a test of [...]

Well it’s not so much a snag as a simple change to allow for the retrieval of keys or tabards you might have destroyed or lost.
Well its worth points to be a “Key master” and I can’t reacquire those keys that I did away with. As a rogue I tossed the shadowforge key to make [...]

It’s another Monday and this weekend was pretty much a test of patience. In the wee hours of the morning I was able to find the time to hit Lv 64 on my Paladin and try out Seal of Blood, this thing is awesome. But time to get down to business as I have been [...]

The author of the widely used Rating Buster (addon that converts combat ratings in your tooltips into percentages), Whitetooth, has been able to derive the level 80 conversion rates and the formula from the client, but keep in mind the following data are only verified correct for the latest beta build (8681), and might change [...]

I’m going to put this behind a cut because odds are it’s going to be a lot of scrolling for anybody interested. However it’s very easy to spot the parts that have changed.

YES! This (and Death Knight) is the reason I am so freaking gung ho for the Wrath of the Lich King. Even got some images for you folks! If anybody else besides me has ever played a FPS game like Unreal Tournament and Tribes, then those vehicle bays where I can only hope siege weapons [...]

My Shaman brothers n’ sisters. We’re still kicking and it seems Blizzard has decided to throw us a bone. Here’s the latest news on the Shaman class that got some major work done with Wrath of the Lich King.
Enhancement seems to have had it’s itemization problem fixed, Elemental is now something to be greatly feared [...]

This right here is good stuff. In Diablo II you would typically regen mana and health through a slow but steady stream. Right now in current WoW we get chunks of mana every few seconds outside of the 5-second rule for casters where you’ll notice it kind of jump up. Same for energy (rogues and [...]

Priests! I know there are a few of you browsing this site so here’s the first word I’ve seen coming from Blizzard regarding Priests. Wish I could give you more but right now I need to finish up everything else on my to do list. Just know that as soon as I free up some [...]

There are a lot of these by the way. Mage talents are getting moved around like some evil world wide game of musical chairs here. There will probably be more on the way soon so keep an eye out.
~Arcane Blast effect duration reduced to 3 seconds, and now increases damage by 15/30/45% instead of reducing [...]

Alrighty it seems Blizzard’s giving out some more in depth information on the official Wrath of the Lich King Druid forums.
Maim has been changed
Maim will break from the same amount of damage that Fear, Entangling Roots etc. breaks with now. It’s a flat amount of damage based on the HP pool of the target (its’ [...]

All of this looks like great news for Hunters. I’m still not sold on the 51pt Beast Mastery talent, but then again I can only assume that all my BM hunters out there are doing backflips over taming a Devilsaur.
Stable slots are getting expanded, on the fly stables slots as well perhaps?
Master’s Call will be [...]

Like I posted late last night, the developers and lead designers have been really busy on the official Wrath of the Lich King forums. Death Knights look to be gearing up to be taken to a shippable state which is a good thing because as soon as the new class has been polished to a [...]

We’ve got some new models for mobs and such but what’s most awesome right now would be these new images of the mounts of Northrend. The skeletal gryphons we saw in the previous Death Knight flying mount posts seem to be generic and might be obtainable for everybody. Death Knights themselves may or may not [...]

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.
Azjol-Nerub [...]

Currently the pet/mount tabs are bugged to all hell but they should be hotfixed soon according to Tigole on the official Beta Forums. Otherwise here’s a glimpse at the interface where you can store/choose your mounts and vanity pets. I notice in the screenshot too there is a tab just called “pets” perhaps Hunters will [...]

I’d say this is both bad and good for Alchemists in the expansion. You folks got a passive ability now that increases the effects of all potions/elixirs and such on yourself, but there’s a debuff now for chugging those swirling technicolor concoctions.

That’s in line now with the 2 minute debuff you recieve after getting hit [...]

Just a minor post here showcasing some updates to the visual look of Death Knights. All of us (Death Knights) will have a very distinct blue glow eminating from our eyes and the character selection screen has changed to differentiate the Death Knight regardless of race a little more from the rest of the classes.

Also [...]

I love this very much but I don’t really understand the reasoning behind it. I hope it does indeed make it into the live game though as much as the warlocks and paladins will be drowning in emo-mascara stained tears. Death Knights apparently will be getting a unique flying mount.
Currently the place holder mount seems [...]

This is going to be a very nice feature folks. Hell this might be the definitive addition to the game’s raiding scene so far. There have been many mods and such that can do the same thing but getting everybody in the guild who’s actively raiding to keep track and actually download the thing can [...]

Here are a few screenshots and some video footage of Dalaran as it gets the touch of life from Blizzard. I have to admit, my last complaint about neutral cities must have been heard by them because this city is turning out to not only look A LOT better than Shattrath but as well has [...]

Kind of playing catchup here to Kenzi but for what it’s worth this is a good little series so far. Nobunaga has been chronicling his adventures on the WotLK Beta from the helm of his Death Knight. This series is an annotated walkthrough with good solid commentary (though a little too much creepy voices and [...]

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 [...]
