I don’t want to derail this thread, but you do need to get it out of your heads that shaman or paladin QQ caused us to nerf CoH and WG. Those spells were too good. CoH was too good at the end of BC.
As a few players have pointed out, for them — for a [...]

I know I’m going to get Halo fanboys here (and why the hell? honestly who gives a crap H3 was terrible, I played through it all in 1 night and returned it to Gamestop the next morning) but I might as well report that the WoW army grows! (source)
IRVINE, Calif. - December 23, 2008 - [...]

After a fun-filled launch night at thousands of midnight openings and a week for everyone to begin exploring the mysteries of Northrend, we’re pleased to be able to share the first sales results for Wrath of the Lich King. In its first 24 hours of availability, the expansion sold over 2.8 million copies to become [...]

I was jamming to TC the other night just before hitting Lv. 77 (thanks Nessaja for more awesome UK Drum & Bass) when my iTunes started having convulsions warning me that Blizzard had updated with Episode 6 of their Blizzcast. No major announcements or anything like that but still a good episode none the less.
Anybody [...]

This is massive. There’s a lot of PVP news as well as developmental work going on in Wrath of the Lich King being reported. Some major game changes too, the list is pretty long so just check for the colors and scroll through for keynote you’re interested in.

Green: PVE
Yellow: General

Patch 3.0.3 release date
The plan [...]

Just a little more change in our pockets courtesy of Blizzard. At least you know they still have a heart.
Since the release of the latest patch, Echoes of Doom, we have gone through a series of optimizations in order to increase overall game performance. We’ve seen steady, stable populations and a flurry of activity and [...]

I love Gametrailers.com, I spend about as much time there as I do on this site checking out footage and trailers for other games as well as ews and such for Warcraft. Lately they ran a segment two part retrospective on the entire Warcraft franchise. As requested by an anonymous tip using my new contact [...]

So us gamers aren’t so few and far between after all, and it looks like World of Warcraft players specifically aren’t the minority anymore. Check this news out.
IRVINE, Calif. - October 28, 2008 - Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. announced today that the subscribership for World of Warcraft®, its award-winning massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), now [...]

I’ll let the videos speak for themselves, please don’t hate me forever for the off-color jokes. First video is my introduction to Nessaja (Paul), Eust (Sinjin), and Doodle (Mike) as we arrived at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Here is inside the center itself as we go through a line of somewhere around 5,000 people.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Blizzcon!
I’m finally back in the hotel room and currently uploading the videos I’ve taken of today’s events. Nothing crazy official by the way but some really spectacular news. See for yourself in a few moments.

Alright people the word is out and we’re good to go. I’m in the process of packing as we speak and all systems are go. Blizzard has announced their schedule of events as well as an interactive floor map of the convention center; so what should you expect from me?

I have the Youtube and Gamevee [...]

Well, we’re about a week away from Blizzcon. Next Wednesday your’s truley will be landing in California with the Spooncraft crew and we’re laying siege to the Holiday Inn near the Anaheim Convention Center.
Elgar sent me a message through my contact form asking me basically, what is the next big announcement that Blizzard is going [...]

I NORMALLY DON’T DO THIS, BUT THESE NIGHT ELVES BE PRETTY COOL. AND YES I AM POSTING COMPLETELY IN CAPS FOR SIGNIFICANCE.
Ok I can’t keep that up, my inner writer is screaming bloody murder. I’ll keep this as short and sweet as possible and allow for great celebration upon it’s discovery.
The names were chosen at [...]

Saw this over on WoW Insider a little while ago. Been kind of busy today so please mind the low amount of posts.
Blizzard went ahead and officially announced their Blizzcon store for this year’s event. The best part being that prices are listed too, so you can budget out what you’re going to get vs. [...]

So this is very good news for those of us with collector’s edition pets or Blizzcon attendees. Following this nice pattern of making certain items bound to your account, Blizzard has decided to make special pets and event rewards shareable between your characters. Now if this works for Horde and Alliance characters or cross server [...]

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 [...]

It’s been a while since I posted up the fan art from the official world of warcraft page. Here are four submissions that came in yesterday all troll themed. Enjoy.

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, [...]

The Stormpeaks were finally reopened after being designated a No Man’s Land, where Blizzard would teleport you out of the zone the second you tried to enter.
Well I’m flying through it now without No Man’s Land, so yeah it does seem to be up (src)
I noticed this pretty much every time I tried to get [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
