Aaaaand We're Back!
So I have difficulty imagining you haven't noticed, but for those of you who haven't: the blog has been a little slow lately! I'm embarrassed to let the guys publish a WWR this week, because the blog section of the listing will show...exactly
nothing
. :(
Now I can of course sit here and make a lot of excuses (I've been busy! Between moving and Blizzcon, and a death in the family, this is the first week since June that I've slept 4 nights in the same bed!)...but it's not excuses you want, it's blogs!
I have some editorial stuff coming next week that I'm pretty excited about, and that I should have some time to put my thoughts on paper now that I'm settle into the new place. But first...a
contest

Our sister site
ZAM.com
has arranged a contest with Flying Lab Software, publishers of
Pirates of the Burning Sea

Strategist: Twin Val'kyr
Long time no see! I know you haven't seen the Faction Champions guide yet - and frankly, I am not looking forward to it. My guild did fairly well this week (not a single wipe until Anub'arak, and even then only a few), but I am still not feeling confident enough to provide detailed description of that third encounter. Probably because it's so chaotic, you can't really grab a strategy and execute it every time by the letter, and expect it to work. So expect Anub'arak, and maybe even some Heroic notions before the Faction Champions. I also accept suggestions on my email (found in my profile) as to how to deal with them.
So for now, I give you the Twin Val'kyr -
Eydis Darkbane
and
Fjola Lightbane

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Addiction King!
Once upon a time, there was a Wowhead user who had a hard time managing his schoolwork because of World of Warcraft. But, as he had been playing WoW for over three years, he was reluctant to cancel his subscription. After a week of contemplation, he finally found enough strength to cancel. He even e-mailed Malgayne to have his Wowhead account banned too, hoping it would help his attempt to quit WoW.
The account’s next billing payment had been due in a week, so he figured that it would be a good time to cancel the recurring subscription. After that week had passed it was official: his WoW account was no longer active and his Wowhead account was banned until his return. Unfortunately, this did not stop him from continuing to read both the official forums and Wowhead’s forums. The urge to resubscribe was growing bigger by the day, but this user was determined to quit anything WoW-affiliated altogether until he could get his life back under control.
Fast forward to sixteen days after his WoW account became frozen. He was home sick and had nothing to do, and he was starting to feel better that day. With just WoW on his min

Wowhead: Cataclysm Forum Open! (or "Where did my thread go?")
If you've been around Wowhead for a while, you saw this one coming. With every expansion, we like to provide the community with a central place to discuss upcoming expansions once they are announced. This one is no different. I bring you:
Cataclysm: The Wowhead Forum
.
The rules for the new forum are the same as our general forum except the topic matter is more focused. We ask that you limit conversation in that forum to Cataclysm-related material. Enjoy!

Strategist: Lord Jaraxxus
With BlizzCon around, school (re)starting and twice as much raiding as before (now I lead my own group, and that eats my time a little), I haven't had a whole lot of time for guides. I try though. I've had most of this done a little while ago, but I got a chance to finish it just now. This may be bad news for some, others might be indifferent, but I personally dislike being behind on schedule, even if it's as flexible as mine. It doesn't help to say that you probably will see the Twin Val'kyr Strategist before the Faction Champions one - the latter is just too chaotic, and I doubt there will be a viable strategy anywhere for a long time.
Anyway, enough of my woes. This time it's
Lord Jaraxxus
- an eredar lord summoned by
Wilfred Fizzlebang
(master summoner). Thank or curse the little gnome for cheating you and summoning a mighty demon instead of a measly Doomguard. Whichever one you choose, it matters not - it's eredar you get. Read on, heroes, and find out how to defeat

Cataclysm Stat Revamps—GC Nerfs EVERYTHING!
So I'm going to go through and list some of the crazy changes that are being made to itemization here. I'll be elaborating more on this later, but here's the basic rundown:
Edit:
Because there seems to be some confusion: These changes are proposed changes to come with the next WoW expansion, called Cataclysm. These are still a long way off. When they come, they will also come with a complete revamp of existing gear, as well as a total reconstruction not just of the quests that lead you through the original zones, but of the zones THEMSELVES. Thousand Needles is being flooded. The Barrens is being split into two zones. Desolace is green and growing. Azshara is a lowbie leveling zone. Zones are being condensed so you spend fewer levels in each one. So have no fear. Everything is changing, but it's all changing TOGETHER. The whole game is getting redesigned for the new expansion—check out all the details on how in our

Cataclysm Officially Announced!
So here's the rough run-down. It's pretty much as it was leaked, but here's the interesting stuff I thought:
Guild levelling, and Guild achievements
New Character Progression: "Path of the Titans". Not sure what this means.
New Secondary Skill: Archaeology
Rated Battlegrounds
Heroic Classic Instances: Deadmines and Shadowfang Keep
So it looks like everything MMO-Champion had was correct, but apparently Blizzard still managed to keep a FEW secrets. :)
The goblin lore looks interesting. It seems like the Horde Goblins will be a splinter group of island-faring goblins—similar to the Darkspear trolls—that were forced off their island by the incoming Cataclysm, and have fallen in with the Horde. It's possible, we'll have to see. :)
The full details are up on the World of Warcraft site here:

Stay tuned for the next blog, when we hit up the preview panel!

BlizzCon 2009 Fansite Summit!
So for those of you who don't know, this year (like last year) Blizzard is hosting an exclusive Community Summit for their official Fansites—like us. It's a pretty exclusive thing—only one representative from each site is allowed to attend, and this year it just happens to be me!
Now Blizzard is very particular about what we're allowed to show you and what we're not, but nonetheless I'll be putting on my journalism hat and taking pictures (where possible) with my terrible iPhone camera, and as I get the opportunity I'll be adding content to this blog post!
All of the coverage and updates will be after the break. In addition, don't forget to follow us on
