Player receives Developer item in the mail, one-shots Ulduar

We first received a tip on a mysterious guild that was blowing through Ulduar’s hardest achievements one after the other, all in one day, about a day or two ago. Their gear and raid experience stated very well that they were in no position to do any of those achievements, but we sort of shrugged [...]

Blood Pact: What’s up with everybody?

Another week, another Blood Pact! Bringing you all the wacky Warlockery that nine out of ten healers recommend for a healthy diet. And it’s not because Nick paid them off or anything.

Addon devs respond to Blizzard UI policy changes

Blizzard dropped a bombshell on the addon community last Friday with their new addon policies (among a few other clarifications, addon developers can no longer wow goldcharge for their addons or even ask for donations in-game), and developers are reeling. Already, the creator of the popular QuestHelper has responded on his changelog, saying that the [...]

Hotfixes for Conflagration and Ulduar

Servers are still getting stabilized, players are reporting bugs left and right, and in general, it’s the day after patchmas. So it’s not too surprising that we’re seeing some hotfixes. So far, here’s what Blizz have let us know about:

Ulduar:

XT-002 Deconstructor’s heart aggro radius lowered to 60 yards.
Trash before XT-002 Deconstructor disabled temporarily, because there [...]

The World of Warcraft is full, please come back later

Blizzard’s Blue Tracker

Blizzard has gone ahead and implemented their own blue tracker on the official forums, easily showing every blue post made throughout the day.
Now personally, I don’t like theirs compared to MMO-Champion, World of Raids, or WoWRaid. All those have a nice layout that allows for quick viewing and easy summaries of posts. It’s much preferable [...]
