A Fond Farewell
I wanted to take a moment to inform you that as of today, I am resigning as Wowhead's Head of Content and Community.
I have been offered another position working in the Community department at
Zynga
(yes,
that
Zynga), and I will be starting there on Monday.
I am leaving on 100% good terms with everyone here on the team, and I fully intend to stay in touch. Fortunately, because I am NOT going to work for Blizzard, I'm not required to keep my mouth shut about WoW-related things, so you'll still see me hanging around the forums here—I just won't have blue text any more. :)
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for making my time here so enjoyable and productive. I was here for the birth of these forums and this blog, and you guys are the reason I'm here. I know we've had our moments, and I know there are times when it seems like the forums are full of trolls—but Wowhead's community will always be my home, and there's no other online community that's more helpful, friendly, and respectful.
I love every one of you guys, and I'll miss you—but be

Imageshack Links Installing Malware, Blocked on Wowhead
We've gotten a number of reports in the last week or so indicating that
Imageshack
is inadvertently installing malware on user's computers!
While we recognize that this MAY be a false positive, we don't like to take risks with our users' info, so
we are blocking imageshack links on the site.
Future imageshack links will be scrambled, and links will not go through!
For those of you who are hosting your images with imageshack, we apologize for the inconvenience. In the meantime, we encourage you to use an alternative image-hosting solution, like

Min.us

No Patch Tomorrow, Rolling Restarts Instead
Looks like RSS feed leaks have deceived us!
Despite our
last post
, it looks like patch 4.0.6 is
not
coming next week—there will be a batch of rolling restarts instead. See the blue post below:
We will be performing rolling restarts for our weekly maintenance on Tuesday, February 1st, beginning at 05:00 AM PST. Downtime for each realm is expected to be minimal, and the overall process should conclude at approximately 06:00 AM PST.
Thank you for your patience.

Cataclysm Soundtrack: Reviewed
I don't bring this up all the time because I know it's not something that everyone shares with me, but I
love
video game music.
This started long before video game music was actually good enough to be worth of love. I'm the guy who settles in for long car trips by listening to music from the original
Sonic the Hedgehog soundtrack
. I love the soundtracks to the NES
DuckTales
game,
Toejam & Earl
, and
Mega Man
. I'm a big fan of the
Descendants of Erdrick
.
So with that in mind, about two years ago I wrote a blog about the soundtrack to Wrath of the Lich King. If you're interested in reading it, you can find it here:
http://www.wowhead.com/blog=53114/music-makes-the-people-come-together
With this in mind, I'd like to talk a little bit about the
Cataclysm Soundtrack.
If you're interested, you can join me after the break.

Guild Flask and Cauldron Hotfixes
Blizzard just announced some hotfixes to flask-related achievements! Specifically:
Maestro mezclador
now requires your guild to craft 1,000 Cataclysm flasks (down from 10,000).
Cómo subir de nivel mejor gracias a la química
now requires your guild to craft 3,000 Cataclysm flasks (down from 25,000).
Looks like guilds weren't crafting flasks as fast as Blizzard had originally anticipated. This should make unlocking the
Receta: caldera de batalla
and
Receta: caldera de batalla grande
significantly easier!
Check after the break for the full details!

New Ghostcrawler Blog: Threat Needs To Matter
In his latest developer blog, Ghostcrawler talks about the threat mechanic, how it's intended to work, and how you (and the development team) know when there's a problem. He provides a bulleted list which is the major thrust of the essay, which I'll reproduce here:
If a tank is trying to generate threat on a single target, and it runs off to kill a DPS class, that’s a problem.
If a tank is trying to generate area threat on a group, and the tanked things are running off to kill healers, that’s a problem.
If Vengeance falling off causes the tank to lose threat, that’s a problem.
For more details, check after the break for the full transcript.
