So now we can get a World of Warcraft magazine?? This should be great for several reasons: I can get access to some more of their cool artwork; I enjoy printed format of artwork vs. LCD; Now I can get strategy assembled into one doc instead of searching all over the web (jsut like TW!); Upcoming patch detail is outlines; interviews, special online events; more about Blizzard games… so many more reasons….
Here is how Blizzard describes it:
Here are some examples or previews of the wow mag:

What other game can you think of that is so epic, it needs trailers just for a new patch. The only one I can muster up is none other then World of Warcraft. Yesterday marked the launch of Blizzards 3.3 patch for World of Warcraft. Some of the change log included big changes to the game such as.
- Icecrown Citadel: The Frozen Throne
- Icecrown Citadel: The Forzen Halls
- Tier 10 Armour Sets
- Cross-Realm Dungeon Finder
- Quest Tracker
To look at the newest patch notes check out Blizzards official patch notes. Here We’ll leave you with the newly released Trailer for Patch 3.3. Enjoy
Who cares about achievements right? I mean its like we all play the game adn get achievements for talking to someone or walking into an area… So what?? Well finally a real achievement…. This guy completed every achievement in World of Warcraft – a meta-achievement. Everything,! that’s ALL:
- Quests
- PVP
- Reputation
- Instances… Raids
- World Events
- Professions
- Exploration
All 986 achievements were completed and every area in the game was visited by this level 80 Tauren named 小灰 (”little ash”), as reported by MMO Champion. This total of achievements includes everything prior to the launch of Wrath of the Lich King… so Fets of Strength are not included and rightly so as they are impossible ! A slow adjustment by Blizzard on their Achievement Table I might add …
So here we are again, on the verge of the final major patch of this expansion. It feels like only yesterday when we were all raging at M’uru wipes. Here’s a brief overview and reaction to the upcoming patch.
There are a LOT of changes coming to the new player experience system. Believe it or not there are still people out there that don’t play this game. I know it’s hard to believe! Between not getting dazed any more in the first five levels and rogues starting out actually dual-wielding, I’d say this is a welcome improvement for new and old players alike. Updated tooltips will help better explain what your abilities actually do to a newbie. These changes are awesome and will vastly improve new player experience.
We all get the Blizzard emails announcing great new stuff and contests, and the occasional patch updates and server tech emails (although less common now). This offer is pretty good to go along with the 5 Year Campaign, which is turning into quite a marketing effort to get some gamers back online …
Here is the text version:
“World of Warcraft is celebrating its fifth anniversary, and we’re inviting you back to Azeroth to take part in the festivities. Your account has been selected to receive 7 days of FREE game time – simply click below to claim your time and rejoin the adventure.

- Battle the newly updated level-80 version of the fearsome dragon Onxyia in Dustwallow Marsh.
- Answer the Call of Crusade in Icecrown, and take on all-new dungeon and raid content.
And more to come… including the epic final confrontation with the Lich King himself.
We hope you join us for the World of Warcraft fifth-anniversary fun! – The World of Warcraft Team

5 Reasons to Celebrate World of Warcraft’s 5 Year Anniversary
So what’s the big deal about the 5 Year anniversarry of World of Warcraft? in one word: ALOTLOL!
1. Get A Cool Pet! – Any character that logs into the game between now and Sunday, December 6 at 11:59 p.m. will receive an Onyxian Whelpling pet. This non-combat pet will be available for a limited time only.
2. Onyxia Raid Upgrade - Onyxia, the Brood Mother is getting a new model, a heroic mode, and a 310% speed flying mount drop. The update to Onyxia will convert the dungeon into a 10-player mode with a 25-player Heroic mode for the daft and celebrated. Here’s what Blizzard says on this “Loot will include Tier 2 helms, with stats updated to match the current level of content. There will be a special new item too: a normal drake-sized 310% speed flying mount modeled after Onyxia herself called an Onyxia Broodling. We will also be updating the encounter mechanics to be more fitting for modern raiding, but we can guarantee players will get to experience the frightening horror of deep breaths once again.”
3. World of Warcraft 5 Year Sweepstakes – Blizzard is running a 5 year Anniversarry World of Warcraft Swepstakes and will be giving out weekly prizes to players as a way to say “thanks” for being a part of the World of Warcraft community these past five years. >>>check it out
4. Dev Team Reveal - Developpers reveal their Epic stories about how the game came to be and what aspects of World of Warcraft are remarkable to them … err to their charater …. i mean to them>>> ROFL jsut check out the more than 40 interviews with the extended team here
5. The World of Warcraft Battlecry Campaign – This, also, is not bad… players take a photo of themselves with the Horde or Alliance logo in hand and submit it online. The ‘image collective’ is then organized into a mosaic and you can monitor the progress visually on the Battlecry campaign site. The greater the number of photos submitted, the more artwork Blizzard unlocks on the website. Once the total number of submissions reaches the threshold, an exclusive piece of art is revealed in a master mosaic.
