- WotLK Alpha Talents Released - All the new expansion talent trees were released at the Blizzcon International event, and now they have been made public too!! You can see all the new talent trees on everyone’s favorite site Wowhead here. Remember these are Alpha talents, so expect them to change quite a bit from their current state. Especially since many of the talents seem extremely overpowered to most classes current states in the game.
- New EU Realm Launched - Blizzard opened a new realm called Blade’s Edge. This realm is only open to new character creation, and currently no transfers are allowed. Expect this to change in the future, also note that as a new realm the Ahn’Qiraj gates are not open.
- Expansion Flying Mount not a Gold / Time Sink - For those of us with a flying mount already, don’t expect to have to sink a ton of money into a new mount right away once you reach Northrend. However you also will not be able to fly right away once you reach Northrend, you will need to be around level 77 before gaining access to flight transportation. If you are having trouble getting the gold to get your flying mount, try Spugnort’s Gold Guide… and earn more gold per hour than ever before. Even earn hundreds to thousands of gold without ever leaving a major city!!!
- No Major Content Until WotLK - Even though many players, including myself, are begging Blizzard for some intermediary content to bridge the gap between now and the expansion. Blizzard is not going to give in, and will continue to focus all of their efforts on the content of the expansion. While this may be the best decision for the long term view of the game, I know I would sure love some new little things to help pass the time.
- Possible new Talent Trees Prior to Expansion - Netharea tap danced around the idea that they might release talents prior to the expansion for mass testing, much like they did before the Burning Crusade expansion. This would probably help many players to bridge that gap between new content.
- Arena Tournament Rankings - The Blizzard Tournaments continue to rage on, with a Druid, Warrior, Warlock team dominating the competition. With a 50 rating gap between them and the next 3v3 team I think its apparent the hayday of the Warlock is not quite over yet. While the melee heavy team can be difficult, there are many ways to still prevail as this team continues to prove. If you are working your way through Season 4 you might want to check out Spugnort’s PvP Guide. This guide can help everyone from beginners to seasoned veterans increase their PvP gameplay for duels, arenas, and even battlegrounds!
- Karazhan Soloed - Obviously no one soled Karazhan, but one person controlling 10 different accounts did kill many of the bosses without the help of any other players in game. Multi-boxing is a tricky thing, but adds a great obstacle to the game to overcome for those who have conquered all current content!
- Need A Designer Bag? - Woot! With the release of patch 2.4.3 to live servers today the new line of Haris Pilton bags and jewelry have arrived, check out her pricey wares in the World’s End Tavern.
- Patch 2.4.3 Released to Live Servers- As always with the release of a new patch there are some things to get excited about! Yes…it’s true apprentice riding and mounts are now available to players at level 30! I know an alt or two will appreciate this. Kael’thas and Vexallus are now tauntable on heroic mode (this will help!). They have also added some new time management features to the game including an alarm clock and stopwatch. These are just a few things players will notice, to read the full patch notes click here.
