This is an interesting wrinkle to testing I noticed as I zoned into the [hide]Well of Eternity[/hide] today. Apparently for purposes of actually testing the dungeons at the minimum level of gear that players will be expected to have in order to even get in, the [hide]Patch 4.3[/hide] PTR is [hide]throttling players iLevels to 353[/hide]. Now, I couldn’t see any difference when I inspected my actual gear, so I don’t know how this is expected to work, if it’s a flat reduction in our damage and/or healing or if the gear will only provide the stats it would if it was 353, what that does to reforging, etc etc.

Still, it’s an interesting step towards testing the encounters instead of having overgeared players simply blowing everything up...

Oh, man. [hide]BlizzCon 2011[/hide]. It’s almost a reality. As you read this, I will be somewhere over Kansas or Oklahoma or one of «those» states on my way to Southern California. I’m going to be the first staff member hitting the ground in Anaheim, and I couldn’t be more excited about it.

WoW Insider will be covering all sorts of exciting World of Warcraft news once BlizzCon starts, but in the meantime, the focus is on travel...

Вместо того, чтобы выбрасывать отслужившие свой срок серверные платы MMORPG World of Warcraft, Blizzard Entertainment скоро выставит их на продажу, [hide]сообщает[/hide] официальный сайт игры.

«Хотите владеть частью истории Blizzard? – говорится в объявлении. – После серии улучшений инфраструктуры World of Warcraft мы сохранили отслужившие свой срок блейд-серверы, которые когда-то поддерживали многие игровые миры...

В установленном на тестовый сервер MMORPG World of Warcraft билде появились предметы, воспроизводящие внешний вид «синих» и «эпических» наборов брони (например, Dungeon Set 1 и 2), [hide]сообщает[/hide] Wowhead.

Судя по сообщению, эти предметы ([hide]полный список[/hide]) можно будет получить на обновленной Ярмарке Новолуния. В игре пока не были замечены утерянные ныне наборы Т3 из оригинального Наксрамаса или экипировка 3-го сезона The Burning Crusade, однако, возможно, они появятся в будущем...

I love Gilneas. I love the look of the zone, the ambiance, the music. I’ve leveled a number of Worgen alts (that I never plan on playing again) through the zone just to experience the storyline again. I’ve even run an Undead alt through early levels just to see the other side of the ending events.

What bothers me (and many others, I’m sure) is the fact that this fantastic zone is now phased out and empty...

Welcome back to [hide]The Queue[/hide], the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Mike Sacco will be your host today.

Sorry I’m late to the whole Bad Lip Reading bandwagon, but man, these videos are hilarious. They take an actual music video (or sometimes one video and a few pieces of another) and lip-read them, then create an entirely new song with those lip-read lyrics superimposed over the original video. This one is particularly hilarious and catchy.

Andrew R asked:

I’m looking to upgrade my phone to an android phone and save some money on my bills. One thought was making my phone a hotspot and using the 4G as my ISP. Could I run WoW without any major lags on a 4G network or do I need a true DSL/Broadband connection?

I raide...

The new video from Obsidian Brand and Blue Dragon Productions features the vocal stylings of [hide]Sharm[/hide]. The team was feeling inspired by Portal’s theme song, Still Alive, and couldn’t help themselves — they had to convert it over to our beloved WoW.

[hide]Still Subscribed[/hide] is somewhere between a love letter from Blizzard and a deep, lyrical complaint about the state of the game. While I don’t necessarily agree with the editorial stance about the developers, the video is incredibly well performed and executed. The music is awesome, of course, but the words manage to maintain the same poetry as the original. Still Subscribed is just very well done.

This is definitely an excellent piece. I hope to see more stuff with this kind of quality, because this was just amazing.
