There’s a lot going down in Patch 3.3.3 I haven’t really covered so far in regards to PvP and specifically my favorite feature – Battlegrounds. All of this is in preparation of the massive PvP overhaul coming in Cataclysm with a heavier emphasis on Battlegrounds.

I told them that they were copying WoW too closely, which would never work with the budget they had, and that they would have to do something to differentiate themselves from WoW, either in the business model or the gameplay.

AddOn Spotlight focuses on the backbone of the WoW gameplay experience — the user interface. Everything from bags to bars, buttons to DPS meters and beyond — your AddOns folder will never be the same! This week, can we dethrone Quartz as king of cast bars?
