H ey Gang! So if you’re like me, you’re probably so burned out from running the Daily heroics that your brain has exploded all over your keyboard. Spontaneous Combustion! BAM! The situation that most everyone’s still in is a couple of different things: A) You still need Frost Emblems for gear B) You still need Triumph Badges for gear C) You have absolutely nothing else to do with your time D) You are a masochistic person and enjoy the pain that it brings because it makes you feel alive Well, what ever combination you’re situation is right now, you still need to force yourself to run them. Most of the time, if you bring a buddy, it makes it 10x better

Every week, Shifting Perspectives explores issues affecting druids and those who group with them . This week, we save the world (of Warcraft). Originally this week’s article was going to concern stomping Karazhan from top-to-bottom as a feral/resto druid, and then I got Big Bad Wolf for the opera event.

It also mentions the undeniable fact that when you get a bunch of socially awkward guys on Vent, then throw a girl or two in, it might lead to a few problems.

Trojan succesfully hacks Authenticator Protected Accounts A new virus spawned on the internet a few days ago and seems to be the first trojan capable of hacking a WoW account protected by an Authenticator. It was confirmed by Blizzard a few hours ago. Quote from: Kropacius ( Source ) After looking into this, it has been escalated, but it is a Man in the Middle attack.

Exciting times! On the latest Twitter Dev Chat , a fun little inquiry for old 5-mans came up: do you think we’ll get to see older instances given the heroic makeover? It’s already been confirmed that both Shadowfang Keep and Deadmines will be made heroic, mostly for their own story purposes.

I’ve been trying to get some raiding done before my account expires– gonna go out with a bang and all that! 10-man ICC is, I am very glad to say, not nearly as lag-erffic as the 25-man version. I did the first four bosses with Tawyn.

At this point, we’ve reached the Keepers of Ulduar, who have been driven mad by the whispers of Yogg-Saron. Guess whose job it is to knock some sense into them

If you measure the success of a dungeon by how many people are visiting it, the first incarnation of Naxxramas was a failure. Introduced late in vanilla WoW with patch 1.11 it was the last dungeon to be added before the Burning Crusade expansion, the difficulty was so high, that only an estimated 1% of players ever got to see it

With that being said, we do have some additional PvE and PvP content and changes we plan to implement prior to the release of the big Cataclysm patch and subsequent retail release of that third expansion. We’ll be discussing these new features in more detail in the coming weeks. As we stated before releasing Wrath of the Lich King, we still intend for Icecrown Citadel to be the final raid of the expansion in terms of tiered progression

Every so often someone looks back to 40-man raiding: this time it’s Zarhym on the official forums , answering a question about raiding’s future and their possible return. I have to say that every time someone decides that the 40-man raid game should come back, I cringe a little bit. So Zarhym’s answer works for me

Update – Yep, the Lich King has over 100M health in 25-man heroic mode. Professor Putricide (Heroic) World First Kill by Paragon Paragon just defeated Professor Putricide in heroic mode and gets another world first kill in Icecrown Citadel.
