WoW Insider Show Episode 56: Mage madness
Just because this last week’s WoW Insider Show was prerecorded doesn’t make it any less good — we finally had some excellent Mage talk (Aurdon of came on to chat with us), and John “BigBearButt” Patricelli and Duncor and I also talked about lots of other stuff, including (but not limited to):
· Wrath’s release date and how that came about
· That tough mount achievement and whether it’s even possible.
· Why it’s OK for motorcyles to be in a fantasy game.
· And lots of other things — we answered your emails, including talking about the First to 80 titles that got removed from the game and how things are going in the beta, both for Mages and everyone else.
In fact, Aurdon showed us all up this week — he’s got a nice summary transcript up of everything he said in the show, including some great links to all

Wowhead offers another chance to win Tyrael
Do you still need a Wrath of the Lich King beta key? Or perhaps you covet your very own mini-Tyrael (which you can now bestow on all your characters)? If so, you may want to check out Wowhead’s latest contest, which is once again giving away cards from the Worldwide Invitational with codes for the LK beta and for Tyraels. Happily, this one is open to both EU and US. It’s happening today, starting at 4:00 EST (1:00 PST), which is just under two hours from now. It’s a similar format to their previous contest (which unfortunately had to be cancelled), but with a twist:
· The goal is to identify five screenshots, figuring out which exact Wowhead pages those screenshots are displayed on.
· When you get all five answers, put the URLs of the Wowhead pages corresponding to the screenshots in an email to . Make sure your answers are in order.
· At 4:00, a heavily altered

Spirit beast pet family on Wowhead (Updated)
Over on Mania’s Arcania, sharp-eyed commenter Goofball Jones noted an interesting tidbit: there’s a new family of pets on Wowhead’s WotLK site. Spirit Beasts. What do they look like? No clue yet, but one commenter noted the new skins for cats in Zul’Drak and posted a tantalizing screenshot from Wotlkwiki.info.
Now, I’m not a hunter nor do I play one on TV, but I do note, looking at their abilities, that they appear to have cat family abilities save for replacing Rake with Spirit Strike, an arcane damage ability. While that makes poster Mattias’s theory make sense to me that it’s one of the cats from Zul’Drak, it’s hardly conclusive.
That’s pretty much all I know to date. The family exists on Wowhead and has a very similar ability spread to cats. I now await hundreds of hunters running around taming everything that might even remotely be in this family for feedback. Keep an eye
