You know I could do the customary thing all these other sites are doing and give you a massive OMFG list of everything going on in this Patch, but that got boring after 3 pages. So instead here are the patch notes and I will go line by line explaining what EXACTLY this means. A [...]

We’re getting a pretty long stretch of maintenance coming up tomorrow (hopefully Patch please for the love of all buttsecks the nerf to Cheat Death commeth!) but there’s not any real 100% guarantee that the Patch is going live tomorrow. Just an early warning once more for the fine folks who like to pull the [...]

Well obviously Patch 2.4.3 didn’t come out today. I’m placing it somewhere in the realm of early August to be 100% honest. Considering the changes taking place for one and the new swag introduced.
So when Samdog reported a bug Hortus pretty much spelled out that the PTR is still going to be running for a [...]

Just a little quickie update for you folks. Barrage incoming after this post.
The US PTR realms are now up and running with the latest 2.4.3 Patch. We are no longer testing Brewfest. We may run another test of Brewfest or other holidays later in the test phase watch this forum for more information. (src)
There is [...]

This is going to make mages and warlocks both very happy. I on the other hand would normally be bothered since I normally go purge happy whenever I see a warlock or mage, but at least this way I conserve a little more mana.
Mages

Frost Armor, Ice Armor, Mage Armor, and Molten Armor are no [...]

This means that everybody can choose from an already created and geared up Lv. 70 character and play freely on the public test realms. I guess the reason for this is to stress something since obviously 99% of the folks that will make a pre-made character are just going to fiddle around but that seems [...]

So they are raising the cap to Lv. 80 and people are worried. Blizzard’s reply was badass. Right now we level 30% faster (and leveling an alt it is very noticeable) until we hit 60. But by that time we can go to Outland. As well all group quests in Outland had their exp increased [...]

Recently there was a change that made a lot of sense in the PTRs and this coming to Warlocks. I’d consider it a buff honestly and wish shaman would get some of this much deserved attention as well. There are MANY curses available to a Warlock and being in a raiding environment I reckon it [...]

This is very much unintentional but people who can take part in the Alpha apparently can’t see the realm list for the PTRs!
Thanks for the report Elzix. It looks like accounts flagged for the Lich King Alpha can not see the realm list, this caused me quite a bit of confusion myself. We’ll look into [...]

Every PTR there are a series of questions that are pretty standard and so here are some choice nuggets of information that is good to know before hitting the forums or the actual PTR and making a fool of yourself. (src)
Premades? Yes we plan on having premades for this test phase. No I do not [...]

This here is awesome. I won’t go into semantics about it right now since is pretty short with everything going on so I’ll just cut to the details.
Here’s the 1st which is a new Herbalism bag you can get from Sporeggar reputation. [Mycah's Botanical Bag] - 4 x [Primal Mooncloth], 2 x [Fel Lotus]
Here’s the [...]

This is one of those I told you so moments.
Right now on the PTR, the first parts for Stormwind Harbor are showing up. You can find the Harbor entrance at the northern canal wall between the Park and Cathedral districts in Stormwind. Construction workers from <The Royal Stonecutters Guild> have been added to Stormwind for [...]

We saw this actually in the Alpha information but I was pleasantly surprised to see it so soon and hopefully coming out in Patch 2.4.3
The current in game clock is a little obscured and as much as I enjoy the immersion and ease in which you can lose yourself with such a minimal UI (I’m [...]

Remember that big money sink Blizzard was going to introduce before Wrath of the Lich King to offset all our fat wallets from all these daily quests? Here she is, the bane of modern society, the most plastic and terrible of living creatures; Haris Pilton.

The bag itself is going to be the main pull for [...]

New Loot from the Trading Card Game.
There are quite a few actually and all pretty exciting. First things first there are a few new Tabards from the trading card game. Landro Longshot’s been busy.
[Tabard of Nature]
[Tabard of the Arcane]
[Tabard of the Void]
[Tabard of Brilliance]
[Tabard of Fury]
[Tabard of the Defender]
[Path of Illidan]
[D.I.S.C.O.]
[Soul Trader Beacon]
Here’s a little [...]

Hello everyone,
During the patch 2.4.3 testing process, we’d like to provide players with the unique opportunity to acquire a few rare promotional items! We encourage any players on the PTR to visit Landro Longshot in Booty Bay to redeem the following items from the World of Warcraft TCG: The Hunt for Illidan expansion.

Path of Illidan [...]

Some highlights for you! Cheat Death got nerfed, not surprised and long overdue. You can now ride and buy your mount at Lv. 30 instead of 40 for a measly 35g. There are new epic Bind on Equip 22 slot bags for sale and they are not Unique (they cost 1200g). The notes can be [...]
