Ruby Sanctum – Info Compilation / Preview [Spoiler] Most of the Ruby Sanctum have been pushed in this patch and it looks like I have enough data in my hands for a small preview.

Here at WoW.com we’re on a Daily Quest (which we try to do every day, honest) to bring you interesting, informative and entertaining WoW -related links from around the blogosphere. Is there a story out there we ought to link or a blog we ought to follow? Just leave us a comment and you may see it here tomorrow! Today we’re talking healers

Today’s announcement of the upcoming Ruby Sanctum raid , coming with Patch 3.3.5 , was well-met, though it raised a number of questions as to the nature of the instance — how will it work, what kind of loot can we expect, etc. Zarhym popped back into the original thread a few times to give clarification on a few points : While the instance has a similar layout to the Obsidian Sanctum philosophically, the three sub-bosses (Saviana Ragefire, Baltharus the Warborn, and General Zarithrian) will each be own encounter all their own.

Just the other day we linked to a GameInformer article in which Tom Chilton mentions a new raid coming soon that would take place in the Ruby Sanctum. To make sure there is no confusion around this, Zarhym hit the forums to tell us exactly what this raid will be

Any caster worth their salt can remember the frustration involved in trying to nab the elusive Illustration of the Dragon Soul trinket from Sartharion in the Obsidian Sanctum . We tried everything we could to get it, from creating our own melee-heavy raid groups, to participating only in “3D zerg” runs hoping that participants would be too over-geared to want it, to participating in Less Is More achievement runs just so there would be less competition for it.

World of Warcraft has its ups and downs, which are to some extent reflected in activity numbers, but are mostly visible to people playing the game and noticing servers being full, “additional instances cannot be launched” messages, and activity on the auction house.

Guys? We have our pony! The Warcraft twitter account just linked to a new page on the official World of Warcraft site regarding Invincible . This stallion served Arthas in life as his mount

With 2009 now winding down and a new year — and even decade — being ushered in on Friday, I decided to put together what I feel are the biggest surprises of 2009.? This list is not all-inclusive; there are more surprises than this, but I don’t want it to look like a novel.? Feel free to share yours in the comments! 10.

We’d rolled Naxxramas, trounced Malygos, beaten Sartharion and his little drakes to death — and that was all there was to do in Tier 7.

WorldofWar.de Chats With Kalgan The latest anniversary interview is from WorldofWar.de , an official German fansite, in which they had a chance to talk with Tom “Kalgan” Chilton , currently the Game Director for World of Warcraft. As with the recent Frank Pearce interview , Chilton provides some very interesting information, including the fact that there are no plans for player housing currently, and an “if we could do it all over” scenario related to PvP

I’ve got a confession to make. A lot of what I talk about I didn’t come up with

This is a very old unpublished post (at least 2 months old) that I dug up. I just thought that I should finally publish it since I did make the effort to write it. I still don’t have the 25 man Sarth 3D achievement as of this writing.

PUG with the blues – Round 3! Quote from: Motive ( Source ) Since our first two tests went so well, we?d like to invite everyone out again for round 3! Come join the fun on the PTR and instead of getting the PUG blues, you could end up grouped with a blue.

Update: Added a clarification post on emblems in 3.3. Getting the blue posts out of the way while I work on something cool for later tonight/tomorrow morning! It looks like we can expect a new PTR build either tomorrow or Wednesday as well

Strike a Blow to the Twilight Dragonflight!Under the frigid expanses of Dragonblight, a dark secret is kept. Sartharion with his three lieutenants keep vigil over a clutch of twilight eggs.? The dark future that these eggs could set..

Day of the Dead Tomorrow, lasting for two days, a new event based on the real-life Day of the Dead celebration begins in World of Warcraft. Players will be able to complete quests and a new achievement called Dead Man’s Party .

As you probably noticed if you watched along with us, yesterday’s developer chat (with Blizzard’s J. Allen Brack and Tom Chilton taking questions from Twitter and answering them on the forums) was a little light to say the least.

Today’s news is a wall of blue text. Don’t miss the developer chat, there are a few interesting things here. Disenchanting & Shattering Hotfix Disenchanting and shattering will be hotfixed shortly, it might be a good time to get rid of the extra Infinite Dust you have in your bags
