Don't Buy Gold!
Hey everyone! I'm fewyn. Some of you may know me as one of the WoW guys from ZAM or the #wowhead IRC channel, and I'll be cross-posting news from ZAM here to make sure everyone has up to the minute news coverage!
Recently Eyonix made a post stating some reasons why
buying gold is bad
and effects everyone. According to Blizzard, an alarmingly high majority of the gold comes from hacked accounts, and a lot of players these days know at least one person who has been hacked and knows how devastating it can be to a player. A lot of these people have been compromised by either getting keyloggers or using power-leveling services, and then being hacked months later. According to Eyonix, they also make baby murlocs cry.
Blizzard has also created an informational page on this whole subject which you can view
here

You can read the original post after the jump.

[Spoilers] Shadowmourne
Do not read this blog if you do not wish to learn about spoilers!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPQR_BkDDM0
Ladies and gentlemen, more spoilers!
So, apparently the first quest in the Shadowmourne quest-line was obtainable by players upon zoning into the Icecrown Citadel Raid instance on the PTR, and one of the objectives was completable. The first objective of the quest is to obtain Arthas' old mace, Light's Vengeance, from Frostmourne Cavern in Dragonblight. Seems like an easy task, but there's a surprising setback that you
need a few friends to help you out with
can overcome solo if you're an overpowered class. I am excited to see the progress of the Shadowmourne quest-line as it progresses on the PTR, even though I don't play an axe wielding class. This patch just seems to be oozing with lore, and I can't seem to get enough!

Gear Check: Razer Naga MMO Gaming Mouse + Megasoma Mousing Surface!
Greetings Wowhead denizens! You may remember a few months ago I got my hands on some sweet Razer gaming peripherals and was able to give them a go and
share my opinions
with the rest of you. Back then we were looking at the
Razer Lycosa Gaming Keyboard
, the
Razer DeathAdder Gaming Mouse
, and the
Razer Destructor Precision Gaming Surface
. I enjoyed using all of the products, and still use the Lycosa and Destructor to this day - anyone who has caught me on Team Fortress 2 or in our #Wowhead IRC channel has probably heard my blathering on about how much I love my Lycosa. Razer's new additions are no exception to the quality and performance I have come to expect from their products. Their latest offerings include the
Razer Megasoma™ Professional Gaming Mouse Mat

Hallow's End Achievements Bug
Just picked this up from the official forums. Watch out, all you achievement mavens!
We are currently experiencing an issue with the Hallow's End candy buckets that is affecting the Trick or Treat Achievements for this event. Certain candy buckets in Northrend, once looted, are preventing characters from looting some of the Candy Buckets required for the Trick or Treats of Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor and Outlands. The current way to work around this is to get the candy buckets from Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, and Outland before doing any in Northrend.
Note, doing the Achievements first will prevent some of the Northrend Candy Buckets from being intractable.
We are actively working on a resolution for this and will provide more information when it is available.

[Spoilers] The Fate of the Lich King
Do not read this blog if you do not wish to learn about spoilers!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik3BX-VjZfw
So apparently some kind people found out what happens to the Lich King at the end. Or almost. If you follow the YouTube link at the beginning of my (short) blog, you will see an animation of him as he appears at the end of the Icecrown Citadel. I won't reveal anything about the animation in this section, but you can check it out and read a little about it after the break.
And just a few things before we start the comment-off - just facts we know as official Lore. Arthas and Ner'zhul do not exist as separate people/spirits/souls. There is only the Lich King. The LK shares his two "creators" memories and a small number of their emotions and goals, but that's it. Do not think of him as "Arthas" or "Ner'zhul", because the differences are more than the similarities. And if you go back to the Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne cinematic, where Arthas merges with Ner'zhul, you will notice that the "

Forge of Souls Impressions
So it took me a good few days to find some time to test the new 5-man introduced in the latest PTR build. Yep, I am talking about the Forge of Souls, the first wing of the Frozen Halls, which is the composite name of all 3 5-mans in the Icecrown Citadel. Story-wise it is the first section of the Frozen Halls you are going to enter, so I am going to spend a little time talking about the story behind those three dungeons.
Yep, after the break :D
Oh, and let me tell you something. Instance full of creepy flying skulls that seem to be laughing at you while floating around playfully is one of the creepiest things I have ever seen in the game.
