BlizzCon 2008 Ticket Drawing Information

19/08/08

As discussed last week, we’re preparing a drawing to offer 3,000 more BlizzCon 2008 tickets for sale. We’re finalizing the process now, and you’ll be able to enter the drawing soon -- in the meantime, please check the BlizzCon site for more information on how the drawing will work.

Please note that a Blizzard Account is an account created for the Blizzard Online Store -- as opposed to an account created for a Blizzard game, such as World of Warcraft. If you have any questions regarding Blizzard Accounts, please read our Blizzard Account FAQ. We will announce when the drawing opt-in period begins on our website soon. For more information, please refer to our BlizzCon 2008 Ticket Drawing FAQ.

New PvP Realm: Soulflayer!

Daliniya & Liasanai

13/08/08

Today at 14:00 Moscow time we are planning to open a new Russian speaking PvP realm: Свежеватель Душ (Soulflayer). This realm will be destination for migrations from all European realms, and will have character creation disabled for now.

Free Character migration will be available from Гордунни (Gordunni) to Свежеватель Душ (Soulflayer) to allow those friends and guilds who may no longer join up on Гордунни (Gordunni) to do so on Свежеватель Душ (Soulflayer) instead if they wish.

Note: Any migration may be closed at any point without previous notice due to population concerns.

BlizzCast #4 Live!

Daliniya & Liasanai

11/08/08

BlizzCast episode 4 brings us several new perspectives on World of Warcraft. Starting us off is an interview with Russell Brower, director of audio and video, about the process of creating music for World of Warcraft to be a part of an evolving, epic experience in the world of Azeroth. Next we interview World of Warcraft game designer Jonathan LeCraft about professions, covering both what we have learned from them in the past and where they are going in Wrath of the Lich King. We finish up the episode with our Q&A segment, which features developers answering a variety of questions from our communities. Listen to the show now, or check out the transcript to see all the featured artwork.

New MVPs:
Schwick and Highlander are no longer alone. We have doubled the green forces on the forums with reinforcements of two new MVPs, who are both players that have been great contributors to our community.

Please help us welcome Adnaw and Xenoronin.

The Northrend Times:
The 7th instalment of the Northrend Times has hit the streets, and it is packed with all manners of WotLK beta related news. You can also read about the latest adventures of Captain Schwick and his awesome new Night Elf Mohawk hairdo :-)

Pimp My UI:
Episode 69 of PMUI is here and Xenoronin is once again sharing his knowledge of everything that is interface related. The mod subject of this week is Roleplaying Mods, and there are some truly great RP mods indeed. The macro of this week is a neat pickpocket emote macro, which is great to use if you are roleplaying a thief or similar shady character. All this, and much more can be found in this week’s PMUI, so don’t miss it.

The forums in all their glory:
Speaking of roleplaying, Celegil of Steamwheedle Cartel has posted an excellent Guide to Night Elf Roleplaying.

Some of you have probably been skimming through the Community Events to seek inspiration on how to create a fun event for yourself and others. If you have yet to find a good approach to art of event making, then fear not, for Acrona of Argent Dawn has written a helpful little guide to organising events, which even has some nice footage of previous events that can help with the inspiration.

The most epic forum game to date: Speed Runs Top 10! Give this thread a read if you think you’ve got what it takes to be the fastest group to clear a dungeon!

We often see threads about ganking and playing on PvP realms in general, but how do you play on a PvP realm?

We all know that sooner or later, good things must come to an end. With this knowledge in mind, what would be the last thing you would do in WoW?

And last but not least, what do you think is the most beautiful city in Azeroth?

Have a glorious week everybody, and be sure to take mighty bites of whatever vegetable you like to eat ;-)
